 * I can’t Upload Pictures, Avatars, Can’t Install Plugins (It asks me for FTP info),
   Can’t Write and save WP Wikis, Cant REALLY do anything in WordPress because it
   doesn’t have write permissions!
 * I tried CHMOD 777 on Public_HTML and WWW. I also 777 wp-content and the folders
   in there (plugins, uploads, and themes).
 * Still Nothing. I have PHP5 Safe mode OFF and I am on a dedicated server running
   WHM and CPanel 11.
 * What Do I do?

 * you or your host need to make sure you as owner have the correct server permissions
   
   this is a server issue – not wordpress

 * I have the same issue. Made the proper folders writable and it still didn’t work.
   I havn’t looked into it too much because I got it to work still. Enter your FTP
   information and it should work.
 * Hostname: localhost
    FTP Username FTP Password
 * That works for me on a virtual dedicated server
