 * I was setting up a blog for friend and I ran into this. I hadn’t seen the solution
   that ended up working for me so I thought I’d post it.
 * There’s quite a bit on permissions on these threads and other blogs, as well 
   as on php’s safe mode. Both those things can cause this error, so the only thing
   I’ll say is that you should never set chmod 777 on anything in your web folders.
   If 755 or 775 isn’t working for you, then either the group or user on the folder(
   s) is set incorrectly.
 * The other thing I found that can cause this error, and what was causing it for
   me, was PHP’s file upload settings. I think this is specific to using a setup
   with a webserver in front of PHP FCGI (as opposed to using mod_php, but I haven’t
   tested with mod_php), in which the webserver might be accepting the file size,
   but PHP hasn’t been setup in a similar fashion. So the webserver hands the file
   upload to PHP and PHP refuses it cause it’s too big. This throws an error back
   to the webserver which WordPress is interpreting as not having permission, even
   though the user/group permissions on the folder are correct.
 * To fix, update php.ini:
 *     ```
       upload_max_filesize=50M
       post_max_size=50M
       ```
   
 * That’s 50 megabytes. You might want to use another size, but that should cover
   most image and wordpress theme uploads.
