Look at the file permissions for wp-content/uploads folder. If it’s not already 0755 change it to that.
I face same issue but i found a best solution go to cpanel > phpmy admin
open database make sql query
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%upload_path%'

@mr-koder Please don’t post your contact details like that here. That’s not how support works in these forums.
I have just installed WordPress and am encountering exactly the same error message.
“Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2015/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
Where do I find the ‘file permissions’ that wslade mentioned? There was no ‘upload’ folder in the wp-content folder so I created one, but that didn’t do anything.
I have used WordPress for many years and have never had this problem before.
Frustrated!
