[resolved] Upload trying to write to wrong user directory (3 posts)

    I recently moved a wordpress blog from one server to another. I tried to upload an image, and it gave me a message saying I didn't have permissions to write to that folder. Changed the permissions to 777, checked the database user's rights, and then I realized something in the error message I did not notice before.

    it says I could not write to

    /home/(old server user)/public_html/(domain.com)/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07

    My new server has a different user directory name, how do I update that?

    Let me say too, everything else works, as far as I can tell. It appears to be a problem with the upload function only.

    Check your upload folder path under Settings > Media.
