I resolved the same problem on the install by putting a forward slash at the end of my absolute path in the File Upload Options section of the admin page:
/home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/wordpress/images/
I also had to chmod the images directory to 777.
Don’t add a forward slash to the URL in the same Options section or you will have a double forward slash in the link that is generated for copying and pasting. Leave it as https://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/images
Hope this helps.
