I've just migrated a site from an offline development server to http://grinnell.lib.ia.us/CMS/, and I have run into a few problems. Most notably, uploaded images do not display. When the media directory is changed, as others have suggested to me, it's unable to create a new folder.
Any idea what's happening? Any questions?

You need to set the media folder to have write permissions to the PHP users, that is, set it +777 if possible.
Depending on your FTP programme, you can do this rather simply by clickingon the folder and choosing properties. Give it the number 777 - or enable read/write on all groups.

Okay, let's try this. Media directories set to defaults.
The wp-content folder and uploads subfolder of that have been set to +777 permissions.
Tried to upload from the media window. Got the link http://grinnell.lib.ia.us/CMS/wp-content/uploads/catalog_button1.png. Broken image.
Thoughts on how to handle this?
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). Maybe user-access-manager?
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
- re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
