    Hi I just made a new installation of wordpress and all seemed to be working fine until I tried to upload an image in a post. I then got this error message:

    Unable to create directory /www/htdocs/w0074cb1/wp-content/uploads/2007/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I’m by no means technically gifted when it comes to things like this so I haven’t a clue what that means.

    Can someone please tell me how I can fix the problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    This just means that you need to change the write permissions on your server.

    Did you upload the word press files yourself? If you did you are probably using an FTP program to transfer files to your hosting account.

    In this case you should be able to navigate to /wp-content/uploads/2007/10 and right click on the folder and “change permissions” (make sure write is enabled).

    If you could let me know what means you transferred files to the server that would be a help.
