Trying to upload an image to use in a post and get this error message
Unable to create directory D:\Domains\deanpiper.com\wwwroot/wp-content/uploads/2007/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I also cant add a gallery using nextgen gallery, this creates folders in wp-content so i presume its the same issue
Checked the permissions for wwwroot and wp-content and its 777 am i missing something, i can add a post, theme or plugin without problems

Thanks Steve,
Am I confused as my server is
Operating System : WINNT
Server : Microsoft-IIS/6.0
Do i still need a .htaccess file is so what should it contain?
This is my first test of worfdrpress and im new to the world of web development so any other help would be welcome from anybody!
It has nothing to do with the .htaccess file.
On a MS server you can't use htaccess anyway.
It is exactly the question that WP is asking you:
Is its parent directory writable by the server?
"Parent" being wp-content - need to change permissions on it, but I know nothing about MS servers.
