Comment by daniel thornbury on July 9, 2009 at 9:52pm - Hi Ed, I don't think this is the place to discuss this but I had the exact same troubles in 2.7 and it was fixed in 2.8. Obviously you need to 777 the folder, but also make sure the 2.8 update updated all the files and make sure you don't have a slash at the end of the path in your settings!

- First of all, I didn't see an uploads folder within wp-content. I created one with write permissions. Still getting the IO Error message.

Comment by Adam Norwood on July 6, 2009 at 3:37pm - I was about to say the same thing as Eric -- check out the Changing File Permissions page for more info. Failing that, what's the error message that you're getting?

Comment by Eric on July 6, 2009 at 3:32pm - Have you checked that your web server has write permissions to /wp-content/uploads/?

- I installed Wordpress on our server to accommodate some faculty-contributed content. I'm using v 2.7, which was installed on our production server (MediaTemple dedicated virtual server). Doing test posts seems to check out okay, but I can't seem to upload images. When attempting to use the java feature I get an IO error message. Using the manual upload nothing happens. Any ideas of where I can check? Perhaps something on the server side? I'm fairly new to wordpress.
