 * I am hosted with go daddy. when I try to upload a new media image in wordpress
   I get this message : Error saving media attachment.
    or this message if I use
   the browser uploader has failed to upload due to an error The uploaded file could
   not be moved to D:\Hosting\5770803\html/wp-content/uploads/2011/01. my images
   that i’ve uploaded into wordpress are being stored in go daddy but when I look
   at them in go daddy I see that they are in there multiple times – sometimes up
   to 7 different times.

 * Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still
   have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions
   on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.
