image upload error on Microsoft server

  • Hello WordPress Community!

    Recently I have migrated a WordPress site from a Linux server to a Microsoft Server and I am experiencing the following error when I try to upload images into any of my posts or pages:


    The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test/wp-content/uploads/2011/06.

    I have several WordPress sites up and running and I have never before encountered this error before.

    If any one have experienced this error before, has any advice or any suggestions I would appreciate the assistance.

    Thanks!

  • Whats in the windows event logs for security or application events?
    Whats in the IIS log for when you attempted to upload?

    Tell me where I can find these files and I will be glad to share with you. One issue… this is an internal server for the people I am working for and I have limited access to server side items like this.

    Let me know where I can find those logs and I will do my best to get them!

    Thanks!

    I’ve even tried the following. Logging into the admin control panel and making a change to “Store uploads in this folder” settings found in: Settings > Media

    to the following:

    \inetpub\wwwroot\test\wp-content\uploads

    as I have seen in some related posts concerning this error and this is not working either.

    Please, any additional suggestions at this point would be great. I’ve sent an email to Automattic asking if I could just hire them to fix this problem and I am still awaiting a response.

    Please help!

    Using the above settings I am now getting this error:

    The uploaded file could not be moved to \inetpub\wwwroot\test\wp-content\uploads.

    That is when I try to upload an image via a post or a page. The path looks better but still is not working. I think that I am getting closer.

    ??

    Examine the log files in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles or C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles depending on the version of windows running.
    Try setting your wordpress to debug. Switch this line from define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false); to define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); in the wp-config.php file.
    Check for any anti-virus running that might prohibit the upload.

    I’ve set the WordPress install to debug via the wp-config.php as you instructed but I am not receiving any debug errors related to the upload.

    I will see if I can get my hands on those log files you told me to look at!

    Thanks! !!!!!
