error message when trying to upload photos

  • Here is the error message I’m getting when I try to upload photos…

    Unable to create directory /home/hots/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Any ideas on what this is and how to fix it??
    Thanks

  • Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    I’ve changed permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. I’ve also added the following to the htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    I still receive an error when uploading and crunching numbers.

    I am using WP 2.9.2

    Any recommendations would be appreciated.
