 * Hi all,
    I’m having some issue with uploading an audio file to my 2.7 WordPress
   test.
 * I have created a directory under wp/content/uploads.
 * When adding a new post and selecting audio, I identify the location of the MP3
   on my local drive and receive the following error:
 * “Unable to create directory /home/a3529301/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/
   2009/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
 * Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
