• I’m trying to upload photos to my library but when using either Flash Uploader or Browser Uploader I get the following message:
    “sample.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory /home/.montgomery/myphotos/mysitename.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
    Could this have to do with the latest version of WordPress that I downloaded today?

  • Check permissions:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

    Then check if /uploads/2010 exists

    Its not a problem with WP but maybe when you upgraded.

    where would I find the /uploads/2010 ?
    I’ve looked at the index.php and css.php and don’t see this or he 666 or 777 permissions codes.
    thank you for your help!

    How about:
    /home/.montgomery/myphotos/mysitename.com/wp-content/uploads/
    taken from your post above

    I see the /home/.montgomery/myphotos/mysitename.com/wp-content/uploads/ and in the wp-content I see “2010 Uploads” and the photos which I uploaded this year.
    My question is where do I access the permission codes? How do I find where to access the code?
    thank you.

    Read the link I gave you. It gives directions how to find it.

    Hi-
    Mind you I’m using a Mac so the screen shots that are shown at the “Changing File Permissions” link are a little different. I was able to change the Unix equivalent number for the index.php but I can’t find the css but did find a wp-content, rss where I changed the permission to 666. And after doing this nothing changed. I still can’t upload photos Argh!
    I even changed the Unix number for the entire file ( by selecting monikagraff.com folder and then selecting “get info.” I tried entering 775 and nothing changed. Then I entered 666 as the link suggested and now my entire site has shut down.
    This is annoying in that this upload problem only started after installing the new version of your software. Any other suggestions? I’m really in a bind now.
    Thank you,
    Monika

    Go back and change what you changed to 666 back to 755.
