WordPress can't create uploads directory

This is the 1st time I've had this problem in the dozen or so WP installs.

I am trying to upload a file to the media library.

Unable to create directory /home/.aussie/noelsaw/coaoc.noelsaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

I've tried changing the permissions for the wp-content folder to rwxrwxrwx (777) but that didn't work either.

Please see my response to your other post on this subject. It generally is a bad idea to cross-post to multiple forums with the same request, as it can lead to multiple/redundant threads. wink
