# Upload image error

 * When I try to upload an image, I get the following error message: “{Image Name}”
   has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory D:\Hosting\6742457\
   html/wp-content/uploads/2015/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
 * The last time I uploaded an image was in Dec 2014 and had no trouble. Please 
   advise.

 * Check the file permissions on the server –
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
 * Ask your hosts if doing that does not solve the issue.

 * I am having the same problem – i’ve looked at the Changing_File_Permissions but
   still have not gotten any closer to fixing this particular issue
 * Checking the .htaccess file – what do I need to look for?
 * I’ve checked the wp-content/uploads file permissions and they are set – I read
   to deactivate gravity form which did remove the error previously encountered 
   but now even though I can upload it says the following:
 * Unable to create directory uploads/2015/03. Is its parent directory writable 
   by the server?

 * You probably moved your wordpress install right? Modify your upload location 
   in “Settings->Media”.
