I can’t seem to get this to work.
@das Capitolin, it appears you found a solution for your site, what was it?

After doing some more searching I found a solution that worked.

Thanks.

Update: It seems we have solved the problem. I modified the ownership of the uploads directory to apache:apache.

Since you’re using a web interface to upload and work with the file system, the web interface runs as the apache user, not your ftp user.

Update: It seems I have the upload image problem solved. I tried changing the permissions on the upload l=folder and it worked this time.

But! Still getting the “Could not create directory. /httpdocs/wp-content/upgrade/,… Error

Does anyone have an answer/solution?

I’m getting the same error messages, tried to upload an image and add a plugin:

““imagename.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

“Could not create directory. /httpdocs/wp-content/upgrade”

Tried everything suggested so far, except waiting on server administrator change your PHP upload limit.

@kvcindia – May I suggest another/new thread for that particular problem? Still working on my “Could not create directory.” error

Thx

Nevermind. I just moved them onto my servers. Problem solved.

@implodeme – I believe I’m having a simular problem with a clients website. Where do I set the “temp dir”? Or would it be better to start a new thread and post the error?
Thx, Steve

@samboll – Can you help with this error? (Dotster acct as well)

I’m having the same problem, did you find a solution?

This is certainly a workaround, but is there a way to get this to work without the “index.php?” in the url structure?
