 * I have the following error when uploading files. wp-content is set to 777 already.
   The strange question I have is the ‘..’ after public_html and before wp-content.
   wp-content sits in public_html, so that seems wrong to me. If I change the public_html
   directory to be writeable, I get two “..”‘s.
 * **Unable to create directory /home/iinet.com/j/ja/site_name/public_html/../wp-
   content/uploads/2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?**

 * Hey, I’m having the same problem with one of my WordPress websites. It’s weird
   because I have 5 other sites, and this is the only site that has ever had any
   of these weird problems. I am also looking for the fix for this!
