 * The default setting includes the wp-content folder and your upload folder is 
   in the root as you say. Doesn’t sound like a match to me.
    Besides, if you make
   your wp-content folder writable by yourself (you’ve got it not writable for anyone?)
   the uploads folder will be created automatically.

 * To “Gangleri”:I am using the default wp-content folder, and the uploads folder
   is created automatically.
 * This is something I’ve done to my Miscellaneous settings
 * “Store uploads in this folder = wp-content”
    “Full URL path to files (optional)
   = [http://www.blahblah.com/wp-content&#8221](http://www.blahblah.com/wp-content&#8221);
 * and the upload file goes to the wp-content folder.
 * but when I tried to add “/uploads” after both of the settings, but it just wont
   work~
 * thats what I’ve gone up to so far~at least I can upload something now, if I tick
   the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders ” option, that will
   causes error again, just cant imagine massive number of file in wp-content…..

 * Hi. I misread your message, probably because the “streight under my httpdocs 
   folder” remark. The only thing I can think of is CHMOD, perhaps the permissions
   of the wp-content folder? If that’s not it, I’m out of suggestions.

 * Hello there,
 * attach, I was facing the same trouble. Still don’t know the reasons, but I worked
   a way out. Hope it helps you too.
 * 1. From [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1)
   “
   Additional: A new issue in WordPress 2.6 occurs when you have a custom directory
   for file uploads. The upload will work, but the link/thumbnail link will be wrong
   and so the image won’t appear. This is a bug which can be fixed in one of two
   ways (either works): a) Specify the correct URL to the upload directory in the“
   optional” field just below the custom image path field. b) There’s a new wp-includes/
   functions.php which will eliminate the issue. Download it and replace your existing
   wp-includes/functions.php file with it. This fix will be in 2.6.1.”
 * 2. Change your upload location, that must be empty now (what means, the default
   location), to wp-content/uploads/2. Create the /2 subdirectory with write permissions.
 * 3. Try uploading something.

   by year and month.
 * Cheers~
