Hmm. Okay, let’s try that again. Found the solution here:https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/image-upload-problem-using-iis-on-windows-server-2008

My issue seems to be a bit different than others. I have a strange path. Like:

Unable to create directory D:\Webs\domain.com\blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Note the slashes change direction. Any ideas?

Oh, I take it back. The errors stopped but I’m getting broken links for the images. ??

They show up in the Media Library and Edit Media shows the images but I just get empty boxes in my post edits and just the Alt text in my posts previews. Back to the drawing board. ??

Last night I read through a bunch of help messages on “Unable to create directory…” and “The uploaded file could not be moved” — after I created the uploads directory myself. I checked directory permissions and tried assorted things with no luck.

This morning, for kicks, I added a “/” in front of the default “wp-content/uploads” creating “/wp-content/uploads” and was able to upload. I have no idea what type of server my site is on, etc. I just know that this worked and thought I’d pass it on.
