when the content folder does not have 777, i cannot do any administration, no change in the blog, no activating of plugins, nothing.
and i really don’t feel good having a single folder on my server which is open to everybody.

there has to be another way!

does anybody know where to get the old wordpress?

thanks!

i got the old-style-plugin, and it works, but i had to set the wp-content-directory to permission 777.
is it really a good idea to open all doors to everybody???

I changed the ownership of the uploads-directory to 777 but it still does not work. I get the same error:

Unable to create directory …/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Any other ideas? Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem as zople, but no clue how to change either the ownership or the permission of the uploads-folder in my ftp-client. or where do I do it? (I work with Mac OS X, not Windows)

and what do you do if the permission-ownership-thing does not work?

any ideas? thanks!
