I have a question about a wordpress install i did for a client. We scheduled to launch on monday but I am having problems with uploader.
I transferred the site from my host - Dreamhost to her's - Domain.com. Uploading went smoothly.
-Did a DB dump did a find and replace and uploaded to the new DB
-Made changes to wp-config and .htaccess
-Uploaded all files to new server
Now every time I attempt an upload I get:
“myImage.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory /usr/local/pem/vhosts/243770/webspace/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2010/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Also, my NexGen Gallery is not uploading images as well. And the automatic plugin install is asking for my ftp permissions and I give the correct ones and it either does one of two things:
1. Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content). OR
2. It tells me password/username is incorrect when I know I entered them correctly.
The permissions are set to 755 and I changed them to 777 and that works. Unfortunately 777 permissions are obviously a bad idea.
Could this possibly be a hosting issue?
Is there quick way to fix this problem that you can give me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
