    hi,
    having amazed myself by getting so far i do seem to have come across my first problem. when i try to add an image to a post i get the following error:
    Unable to create directory /vhost/vhost8/m/e/c/mechange.com/www/wp-content/uploads/2008/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    as the comment suggest i gather there is a problem with the write permission, if anyone can steer me in the right direction i’d be very grateful. the blog is:
    http://www.mechange.com/
    the host is easyspace linux mysql
    thank-you in advance
    david

    slight update… I did the wp version update, no change. I’ve tried the flash upload and the browser upload both do same error as above. If I upload the image to the public folder and then use the url option I can get an image into a post. So, this means the server/wp won’t allow an image to be written from the browser to db? It allows text posts to be written from the browser so what’s different about images? help! I’m lost!

    I just found this on another post, sounds related, any advise welcome

    6. mod_security might be causing problems. Disable it to see if that is the problem. To do this, make an .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory. Add this to it:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>That will disable mod_security for the upload file receiving code in the wp-admin directory.
