I have the same problem, but no solution yet …

That could be a server limitation – have you tried a search for your webhost here ?
Would it be something simple like permissions on /wp-content/uploads?
No I have not tried a search for the web server here. I just added the blog to a long standing server that I have been using for years (dynamicnet.net). I was able to install WordPress without any problems and was able to generate a sample post, but when I tried to upload an image that is when I had the stated problem.
What can I look for here to solve this problem. If not solved, then of course WordPress for we would not work. I dearly would like to get some resolution and I am sure that there must be one for I cannot believe that my situation is unique.
Thanks for your help.
Maybe I was too vague, so I’ll restate my earlier question:
What ARE the permissions on your wp-content/uploads directory?
Ok, I am sorry for misunderstanding your earlier question. I just didn’t take it as a question.
But I went back and checked and my permissions for the wp-content directory were 755. I then changed the permissions for this directory and all sub directories to 777. All of my problems then went away and I had no problem uploading images.
Is this a bad/good solution? Is there a problem that I have caused by doing so? I see what seem to me to be conflicting opinions on this question. I am not smart enough to sort it out.
Thanks for your kind help!
