[resolved] Error "The uploaded file could not be moved to /x/y/z" (3 posts)

    Hello

    I am uploading a WordPress blog, whose XML for import is 3.5 MB.

    I have had the kind cooperation of my ISP (also my web host) to raise the upload limit for PHP to 5M.

    Now, I get a new error, also preventing me from uploading the XML file. This time, the error says that "The uploaded file could not be moved to /x/y/z/wp-content/uploads/2010/02".

    I am hoping this is not a permission problem. Permissions for the wp-content directory have been set to 755, as is the UNIX default. (I am on a BSD system).

    set the wp-content and folders below it to 777 just for the upload, then change them back to 755
