Hey sanderd777,
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the EXACT same problem now. I just updated all of my file/write permissions to 775 and the Media Library works, but if I try to add an image via a post I see the text as if the image uploaded but no thumbnail. Plus, I can physically check the uploads folder and see nothing is there.

Any ideas?

Sounds good – I’ll do that. Thanks.

This is my .htaccess file in the wordpress root folder:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

In the previous location, this was all I needed to adjust permalinks and upload images.

Oh, and 766 gave me this error:
Unable to create directory /home/hauseradmin/www/hauserdesigngroup.com/wordpress-3.1/wp-content/uploads/2012/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Ok, with permissions set to 777 it does the same as when permissions are set to 755 – I receive no error but no image uploads.

Ok that could be the problem… could you point me towards a starting point though? I’ve read that entire page but this is a bit beyond me. Sorry… generally where is the place to edit permissions on an linux / apache server?

I have a lot of “failed to open stream” errors it looks like – what could that mean?

[Fri Apr 27 01:12:57 2012] [error] [client 50.81.90.111] PHP Warning: copy(/home/hauseradmin/www/hauserdesigngroup.com/wordpress-3.1/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hauser-design-author+-link-in-bio-1.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/hauseradmin/www/hauserdesigngroup.com/wordpress-3.1/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 348, referer: https://hauserdesigngroup.com/wordpress/wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=478&amp;

I’ll check, but the images are only a few hundred K

No, that’s what’s weird… I’ll run a “find / -name” command now just to make sure, but they are definitely not going into the uploads folder.

Yes, they are not – on either the new or old server.

No sorry, I increased it from 2MB to 6MB so I could import my database.

Also, I had to adjust “usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini” and change upload_max_filesize to 6M from 2M so that I could use phpmyadmin to import my old database – but I don’t think that would affect anything, would it?

Ok, yes both of those are blank in the settings for media. It’s odd because I still get the 0% and “crunching” text to show up, and then I see the text that you can edit for pictures, but no picture. Then when I press “insert” I get the broken image icon and when I look in the media folder there is no new image.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately these are the instructions – with several other support and help articles online – that I used to move my blog. Like I said, everything is working but I can’t upload images. Where might I start looking to fix this?

Thanks again.
