 * Hi,
 * Clean install of wp on windows server. When trying to upload images in wordpress
   I get:
 * image.jpg has failed to upload due to an error
    The uploaded file could not be
   moved to **C:\Domains\mydomain\wwwroot\**preowned/wp-content/uploads.
 * There is no reference to this url in my databases or site files. WordPress is
   appending preowned/wp-content/uploads to the physical path of the server.
 * In website settings in site control panel, I see the physical domain is stated:
   
   C:\Domains\mydomain.co.za\wwwroot\
 * Surely wordpress should not be using the physical path of the server. Any idea
   where I can edit the settings to get it to point to the correct url without the
   C:/domain/ …
 * PS: Media -> Settings -> ‘Full url to upload files’ does not override this. Entering
   [http://mydomain/preowned](http://mydomain/preowned) etc does not change the 
   error except for the few webfolders at the end of the url.
 * Please, I’d appreciate some help. I don’t think this is permissions as I’ve never
   seen a physical path drive referenced in upload dialogue. My question then is,
   should I be seeing the server physical path in this error message? Never seen
   it before.
 * Any ideas?
 * THANKS
