 * I have just downloaded wordpress 2.71 with the newest K2 night build.
 * Everything seems to be fine except I can’t upload images.
 * When I try it says the image is successfully uploaded… but it isn’t.
 * The image should have been uploaded in /wp-content/uploads/ but there is NOTHING.
   not even the uploads folder.
 * Anyone who can help?

 * Well, I have the same problem. Everything seems to work well. I can post my stories
   in txt, but I can’t upload media files.
 * _The image should have been uploaded in /wp-content/uploads/ but there is NOTHING.
   not even the uploads folder._
 * I’m working with an Intel Mac Pro, uploading with Fetch. But I doubt if my settings
   are oke in the Config file.
 * My domain is “www.xxx.nl”; ALL my WordPress files resides in the folder “yyy”
   in the root = in “[http://www.xxx.nl/yyy/&#8221](http://www.xxx.nl/yyy/&#8221);
 * The root also has a folder “cgi-bin”. The Unix path to this CGI directory is:/
   www/htdocs/xxx, but I don’t use this cgi-bin folder for the WP files.
 * But after trying to upload a photo there was this error message:
    _Unable to 
   create directory /www/htdocs/xxx/yyy/wp-content/uploads/2009/03. Is its parent
   directory writable by the server?_
 * (sorry for my bad English!)

 * chmod /wp-content to 777

 * I found a by-pass by pasting images directly in my post. So I don’t use the image
   gallery. This seems to work.
