  • Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    problem with seLInux was not letting me write to uploads folder so
    open shell and

    # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t ’06’
    (apache managinging directory 06)
    # restorecon -v ’06’
    resstoring connection

    fixed this was on a local machine fedora 18 not on a hosting serer godaddy thingy!
    thanks esmi
