   Hi while trying to upload an image I receive this error message...

   Unable to create directory D:\Hosting\2039353\html\wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   How do I resolve this issue?

   Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

   kylepoyser,

   To add a little more to esmi's instructions. Changing permissions is generally done by using an FTP program such as Transmit. Right click on a folder/image/etc and select 'Get Info'.
