[resolved] Adding Media Files to my blog (2 posts)

    When I go to add a small movie or music file I get the message:

    Unable to create directory /home/.rozen/archaxisadmin/chip.archaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Could anyone tell me how to resolve this? I would appreciate it. By the way, I'm a first time user so pardon me if this question is a little banal. :)

    You need to change permissions on your /wp-content/ folder;
    Using ftp, locate that folder, right click it and choose 'properties'.
    It will probably be set to 755 already, but you need to change it to 777.
    This allows wordpress to add new files to it.
