    trying to upload an image on to page, but all I get is the following response

    Unable to create directory /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    Back to Image Uploading

    I guess what Im asking is how do I make the parent directory writable by the server.

    also if anyone can just point me to a site thats wordpress for dummies, that would be awesome.. thanks.

    *bump*

    anyone? Ive been reading through the codex.www.ads-software.com site.. And I feel like I got ahead with something about Permissions, but then my browser shut down, and now I cant get back to it.

    most ftp programs allow you to change permissions of directories (chmod).
    change to chmod 777 before uploading.
    change back to 755 after uploading.

    editing this to say that I have used both firefox and safari, and there has been no solution to the issue, as its not a browser issue, more of a server issue. Also using WordPress 2.2.

    UPDATE:

    so I spoke with the people on my server, and I suppose we are trying to figure it out right now… now I Get the following

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06.
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1965) in /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1348

    any ideas anyone?

    Again make sure to double check the directory permissons. As the only thing that

    Unable to create directory /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Would be caused by is incorrect permissons. (Its obvious, With the error of “Is the parent directory writable by the server?” With the new error, What were you doing before the error started to show up? What did you change?

    Actually Im not completely sure, but I imagine that someone on the server side changed something.. NOw with this new warning,

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1965) in /home/jaimep30/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1348

    Ive found through support forums that is a ?> in the coding and a white space, but Ive checked that, resaved, re upload, and I still get the same error information.

    On line 1348 for the function.php I have the following

    header(‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’);

    and 1965 on the admin-functions.php is

    wp_die( printf( __(‘The uploaded file could not be moved to %s.’ ), $uploads[‘path’] ));

    Ill keep working on it, and Ill post If I get anywhere, THanks for any help in advanced.

    jalvarez, better not start hacking into the core files of wordpress. if you suspect anything is worng with them, better delete the old files and upload new ones.

    Just to let you know that the server support people fixed the issue, if I find out what they did ill post it here.

    Any luck about this problem. It’s not really a file permission problem. all the people with same problem already doing this and yet the problem still there. Anyone?

    Sounds like the problem I had, the directory it was trying to create was not wp-content/uploads. Using anything but this directory to upload to will not work unless you change the hard coded address.
