 * I’m getting the error “The uploaded file could not be moved to .”
 * My “wp-content” directory and ALL subdirectories have an attribute of ‘777’.
 * I’m using the default upload directory of “wp-content/uploads”.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * So does this directory “wp-content/uploads” actually exist ?
