My host changed to a new server and the paths changed, now when I try and upload a file through worpress "Add Media Files to your Library" I get the following error.
Unable to create directory /var/www/html/psp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
The bit I have bolded is the old path, the new path should be
/home/site-name/public_html/
I can't see where to change the path in the WP Install.
Any help?
Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

Thanks for the advice esmi.
My host support managed to change the path by editing the WP database directly.
