Unable to create directory – Is its parent directory writable by the server?
by admin
If you get this on your wordpress, there is a simple solution..
1) fix the security and make the upload directory:
mkdir wp-content/uploads
chown -r youruser:www-data wp-content/uploads (or group: httpd depending on your apache setup)
chmod 755 wp-content/uploads
2) Set the directory in WordPress under Settings – Media.
