    I am getting this message:

    “Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/garrettgrove.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

    Any direction I can be pointed to resolve this?

    Big thanks!

    on some servers for the 1st time you will need to chmod 777 on /wp-content

    after that chmod back to 755 and it should work

    I had this problem and solved it by changing the path statement for the uploads directory in the Settings > Miscellaneous menu. All I needed was the wp-content/uploads bit of the path (suggested default value). The incredibly long path statement could be what choked off your upload.

    In my case, fiddling with permissions did nothing to resolve the problem.

    Good luck!
