I moved my Wordpress Site; now I can’t upload anything! (4 posts)

    For reasons beyond my control I was forced to move a rather complex, but working installation of Wordpress to a new server (a Windows Server). It’s been nothing but trouble from the beginning. Last night though, I found a very serious problem and I can’t figure it out.

    I cannot upload anything using Wordpress.

    If I attempt to upload an avatar using the local-avatar plugin, I get this error:

    Upload error: Upload directory doesn't exist.
    (the folder does exist though)

    If I try to upload images using NextGen Gallery I get this error:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class nggmeta in //nawinfs05\home\users\web\b350\ipw.carolinasoaring\wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\lib\meta.php on line 12

    If I attempt to use the native Wordpress Media Library upload I get this error:
    HTTP error.

    I also have the Simple:Press Forum plugin. When I attempt to upload an avatar through that interface, it says it was successful but the file doesn’t actually upload and nothing changes.

    Every other aspect of these plugins and the site works fine. All of the files I uploaded to the galleries etc, when I was on the previous server are all still in their folders and are accessible. I just cannot upload anything new inside of Wordpress.

    All of the folders in question are on the server in the correct locations and are all 777. I believe I’m using 2.7 and I’m on a windows server over at iPower. I’ve done a lot of transfers of Wordpress sites and never seen anything like this.

    To make matters worse, I just discovered this bug at 4 a.m. and have to deliver the site by 10 a.m. today. I was just doing last minute tweaks when I noticed it. Please, please, somebody give me something... anything.

    Does the upload folder actually exists? It all sounds like a permission problem.

    yeah, I've verified the existence of every folder that each plugin uses (3 or 4 different folders in all) and double checked the permissions were all set at 777. Those folders contain all of the stuff I uploaded to them when it was running on the other server and the galleries all work. I even made a few new folders but still no uploading.

    I've got the same issue. Did you find a solution?
