   Upload folder not created in Wp-content folder in 2.8 installation. Is there a solution for this as WordPress issues following error message on any attempts to upload images or files:

   Unable to create directory /not disclosed/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   chmod /wp-content to 777
   try the image upload
   should work
   chmod back to 755 for security and should work from now on

   what is the "answer" to this permissions problem. What is causing the problem. The "helper" at my isp was trying to say that some of the wp- files should be executable. Is that right ?? I have already posted permission question above. I made wp-content 777 and I can upload a file via admin but thumbnail does not seem to be created.
   what is correct installation ? what should the permissions of each file be and what should be the ownership of the files and what else needs to be done so that it works without complication ?

   a correctly configured server will work with
   folders 755
   files 644
   on any action
   some servers need 777 on some folders
   ask your host why

   what about the ownership ?
   who should own the files ?
   thanks, not getting a lot of joy from the isp don't know if it's " won't tell" or " don't know"

   ownership really has nothing to do with this issue
