Unable to create directory

  • This is a brand-new installation, auto-installed via Fantastico.

    The folders are currently set to 755 and the files to 644, but when I try to upload an image via the Admin Post interface, I get this error message:

    Unable to create directory
    /home/frauire8/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I just wrote my host about it. Does anyone know whether Midphase (also called ANHosting) is one of those hosts that isn’t set up to allow you to use permissions settings of 755 for folders and 644 for files?

    If the server permissions setup is the problem, I’m still within the 30-day money-back window and can change to a more secure host.

    This is my first WordPRess installation so I’m a noobie here. Thanks.

  • I installed wordpress on my xampp lite server on my PC to test and it seems that it’s working alright. My guess is it’s the permission issue. I too have problem with my current blog but I don’t mind uploading it on my own and place the image manually.

    Good luck guys!
