Same issue here:
1) My forst request was why do I get the “Unable to create directory /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
and found the remedy to be in the Miscellaneous settings
2) My miscellaneous setting tab is not there
3) There are NO options-misc.php file neither on my server nor in the WP 3.0.1 file so have no idea how to apply the above recommandation
there is a misc.php file in https://www.domainn.com/wp-admin/includes/misc.php thought and have wirte over it with a fresh wp file…still not working, error 1 & 2 persist
4) What do you mean by using the Media settings? What is there to change, tried some variation, no resolve
