Can't upload new themes with chmod 755 or 775?! (2 posts)

    Hello,

    I've got a theme inside a zip which I want to upload to wordpress. When I try to do so however, I constantly get this error saying:

    Unable to create directory /home/mydomain/domains/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I first had all folders chmodded to 755 and I even changed that to 775, but still it doesn't work. Does anybody have any idea what the problem is here?

    chmod /wp-content to 777 and try the upload
    if works, chmod back to 755 - should be ok after wards

    or do it manually
