    WP 2.7.1 Theme: Tastelessely Site: http://www.cockpunches.com

    I’m receiving the error below when trying to upload an image to insert into post. I haven’t had this problem before and the only plugin update I’ve done between being able to upload images and not upload was an update to the Anyfont plugin? Any suggestions

    Unable to create directory /home1/hoonedes/public_html/cockpunches/wp-content/uploads/2009/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    seems to be an issue with my hosts database connection, didn’t notice til I checked my other site. Thanks for the reply.

    Did/do you use hostmonsster?

    Hi,

    Assign 766 recursive permissions to wp-contents folder which should resolve the issue positively.

    Thanks,

    You may need to assign 777 or 755 permissions to uploads folder depending on your server configuration.

    Unable to create directory c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\unitednepalese.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    this cannot be solve by above process mention above. Is there any other wordpress expert.. please help me to solve this problem…
    thanks

    Having the same problem suddenly. Used to be fine. I do use hostmonster. What’s up?

    Okay, guys. This note from Nabeel is all I needed to fix this. I didn’t need to change permissions (I spent over an hour trying all that stuff last night and changing them back for safety). Also didn’t need to contact my host or anything. There was simply a slash in front of the directory in the default section under Settings, Miscellaneous. Removed the slash and the pictures posted. Thanks Nabeel. Here’s the note from him to another user:

    hello tan,

    please make sure it is “wp-content/uploads” and not “/wp-content/uploads”

    waiting to know if it was still not solved.

    My default had the slash in front. Amazing. I didn’t need to change permissions or anything.

    Hi,

    Check with these options:

    – Add this code in htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    – Disable all the plugins and enable it one by one.

    – make sure that you hav set the proper upload directory path from wordpress admin area -> settings -> miscellaneous settings. Do not apply / – slash at the end of the path.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
