I am using v2.9.2
When I tried to upload an image to the Media Library (or insert directly into a post), I got the following error message:
"Unable to create directory /data/in/b/bccommonground/www/wp-content/uploads/2010/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"
I've checked the www directory and the wp-content directory, they both seem to be writable. What can be causing this problem?
Thanks!
chmod 777 /wp-content
do an upload
chmod back to 755
should work from now on

Thanks ... I am new to this so not quite sure what you mean by 777 and 755. I can see a wp-content folder, in which there are 3 other folders:
- plugins
- themes (which I have uploaded my own theme)
- uploads (which have no files in it)
Are you saying that I should upload the images to the "uploads" folder? Or some place else?

yes you can manually upload them wherever you want as long as it's specified in the dashboard
Settings - Miscellaneous
you can change the folder permissions or chmod with an ftp client or your host's file manager to do it automatically through wordpress
