Have a similar problem.
Changed file permission using Filezilla to 775 or 777.. no Luck
Confirmed setting in Media does not have the leading Slash ( ‘/”)..no luck
In the wp-content folder, did not see an uploads folder so I created one using Plesk Panel and assigned 775 rights to the folder. …no luck again
The message I get is as follows:
Unable to create directory W:\vhosts\mydomain.biz\subdomains\wordpress-test\httpdocs\wordpress-test/wp-content/uploads/2011/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
What is weird is the ‘backslash’ that i have highlighted.
Any suggestions? Am a newbies and this is the first install of wordpress. WordPress install went well, but am now trying to upload a plugin and this is where i get this error.
