    I’m just getting my wordpress site started, using the Sunset theme.
    I’m trying to upload images, but I keep getting this error message:

    “monkey002.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory /home/ethic/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    * * *
    I even went into my CPanel and created the directory myself, and tried putting the images I wanted in that folder, but it’s not working.

    Please help!!
    thanks!

    Make sure to make the directory writable and full permission given on your folder in the host’s user panel etc.

    Hmmm… I changed the permissions for the blog, plus public_html and “ethic” to 7,7,7 (making it writable by the world). But I’m still getting the same error message. I don’t see anything that fits the problem in the support link. Any other ideas?
    Thanks for the quick reply!!

    Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    I tried all of those combos, but no luck. My server host has no idea – says that once the permissions are set, it should load. The permissions are definitely set at 777 now. Any other ideas? Thank you!
