Image upload path issue: Duplicate folder in path?

    I recently migrated my site to a new server and everything went swimmingly except for one problem. Now it seems whenever I attempt to upload an image or sny media file, I get an error message like this:

    The uploaded file could move to
    /usr/www/webroot/myfolder/myfolder/myfolder/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/04/

    It’s one ‘myfolder’ too many. I went through the settings but I could not figure out where the proper settings are to correct this. How do I solve this? Must I go through the actual DB via PHPmyAdmin?

    Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    Thanks, esmi. Solved the problem. It was permissions, in fact with the host. Also, I placed the entire site onto the root folder and that helped as well.
