 * Can you check to see if the directory “wp-content” exists. The error seems to
   indicate that it does not.

 * I am not sure what stat() does, but it might be probing server/cache (stat)us.
   Try [disabling cache](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=49841&replies=11)
   and see what happens.

 * This is what Stat does; [http://us3.php.net/stat](http://us3.php.net/stat). Basically
   gives information about a file.
 * Could you provide us with a link so we can see what’s going on.

 * Which image? Have you tried a refresh that supersedes cache in your browser? 
   With kind regards…

 * hi thanks for the replies. I am creating a post and trying to upload an image.
   The image makes it to the uploads\2005\12 directory, but it does not display 
   on the blog. One thing i noticed is that the directory uploads has no owner. 
   it is displayed like this:
    drwxrwxrwx 6 nobody nobody 96 Dec 28 12:59 uploads
 * other directories show like this
    drwxr-xr-x 8 fg32 email 1024 Dec 20 08:39 themes
 * When I run chown on the uploads dir I get this:
    chown: uploads: Not owner

 * ok, I think I figured it out. I thought when I click upload it would insert it
   in the post above. This is not true, it only uploads the image to the dir. I 
   then need to right click the image and attach it to the post. Does this sound
   right?

 * Try dragging the image onto the post. Regarding the ownership issue, have a look
   at the [related thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=53400&replies=12).
   Someone else might have similar problems in the future.
