    In Options | File uploads,
    if you’re developing on a Windows machine, remember to quote your file path with forward slashes:
    E.g. fileupload_realpath: C:/Apache2/Apache2/htdocs/mysite/wordpress/images/photos/
    fileupload_url: http://localhost/mysite/wordpress/images/photos
    Regards,
    Nick

    The above post may be old, but it addresses my current problem. I’m developing on a Windows machine with Apache installed. I get the same error that many others have had, but I can’t seem to resolve it. Changing the paths as noted above doesn’t solve the problem either. Also, since I’m using apache (IIS isn’t installed) I have no way to set permissions for ‘IUSER’. I’m pretty sure I’ve set the permissions correctly – well about as good as I can get under windows. Still I”m getting the same message:
    “It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified ( C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs/wordpress/images_2/) doesn’t appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos.”
    This is what I have:
    ‘Destination Directory:’ C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs/wordpress/images_2
    ‘URI of this directory:’ http://localhost/wordpress/images_2
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    Thanks
