From new build or old?

thanks

Okay,
Just for fun I created a clean install of wordpress. no webmatrix.. just IIS 7, MySql, PHP, and wordpress.. still have error uploading media…

Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Help… I know it is permissions but where?

Thanks,

I upgraded the files.. did not fix media error and because I am using web matrix it denied some of the files from being replaced. ??

Any other ideas?

Thanks…..

I am upgrading on Host Server.. Do I need to stop all services before upgrading the core files? Such as IIS?
Have done back-up.. php and mysql are version ready.

Okay.. I have read up on how this is done. My WP file structure is a little different and since I host with my own server.. I technically don’t have to ftp… I can just copy over the fresh core files, correct after turning off all plugins. I use Weaver II as my theme. Last time I did a auto update to WP.. it broke. so I want to be careful. My version now is 3.4.2… so I should copy new core files 3.5.1 over? Also on VM so have done a snapshot. I just wonder why it just all of a sudden broke. I have been trying different plugins to try to use different functionality for the site. Want to use eventually as a CMS. But I need stability first and foremost. If I did something wrong.. I would like to figure out what it might have been.
Thanks for your help

Yes it is running on MS SQL and WebMatrix with microsoft web platform.

Oh.. one thing I did not mention.. which may affect the possible fix is the fact that I used WebMatrix and am hosting an in house Intranet site with MS SQL.
Thanks again.
