I have had this problem in the past, and on my host it seemed the only solution is to ensure that what ever "user" the webserver is logged in as has permission to modify the wp-content directory.
Error "Is its parent directory writable by the server?" Uploading images (34 posts)

If you are using IIS, this applies to you:
You must make sure either the I_USER_XXX (the user account IIS uses) or the Users group have permission to create files and folders in the wp-content folder.
I tried EVERYTHING else posted in this thread to no avail. This is what works if your site is hosted on IIS.

I noticed that it was referencing to the wrong database. I had moved my site to a new server. I had to go into the database through myphpadmin and go to the options table. From there I checked the option value column and found a reference to the wrong database prefix. Changed that and it now works great! Hope that helps someone.
