   Hey guys,

   Switched from GoDaddy.com to Bounceweb.com recently (God, I've never had a website go this fast before) and got the site over, the Database moved over, and am able to update, edit, and write new posts.

   Problem is, when I go to upload an image, or any other media, I get the following error:

   "Unable to create directory /home/content/h/b/g/hbgllc/html/hesedbooks/wp-content/uploads/2009/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

   Problem is, that's GoDaddy's hosting path, not Bouncewebs.

   Is there some way I can make the blog reset itself to know that it's on a different hosting account, and capture and use those settings?

   Thanks!

   Hmm. In your database, did you change the paths in the wp_options table? There is an "upload_path" part of the table that probably needs to be changed with something like phpMyAdmin.

   Hmm, In phpMyAdmin, under "wp_optons" I don't see an upload ANYTHING.

   I'll search through the .swl file itself...

   Found it in the SQL file.

   What should I change it to?

   It's:

   (60, 0, 'upload_path', '/home/content/h/b/g/hbgllc/html/hesedbooks/wp-content/uploads', 'yes'),

   How did you fix it? I am having the same issue, except I switched from one Godaddy account to another.
