   Hello folks,

   I've set up my new wordpress blog, and tried to import the old one that's I'd saved on my old blog, which I then shut down.

   This is the error message I got:

   Unable to create directory D:\Hosting\4297755\html/wp-content/uploads/2009/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   The blog I've now closed down wasn't updated much - there wasn't much there to import over, so I won't be heart broken if I have to start again.

   However, I don't want the error to crop up once I've really got going with the blog, so can anyone help as to why it's coming up?

   I don't understand why it tried to create a directory on my D:\. Do you think it tried to create a temporary drive and when it found my physical hard drive there it got confused?

   Hi Alex,

   I found the following article which explains how to troubleshoot this error:

   It helped me fix the "Unable to create directory D:\" error.

   Thanks.

   Oops...I linked to a comment on the article (which is not the worst thing - I hope - but no one likes having to scroll back up to the main article). :)

   Here's the correct link:
