    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

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll take a closer look at Pictoralis (v1 & v2). The EXIF/IPTC processing sounds a little daunting to me at the moment cause I’m still pretty green with PHP.
    I’m just getting around to planning the site so hopefully over the next few weeks I’ll get a better grip on the process. I just might end up giving you a shout David.
    Thanks again.

    Yes, I just saw a response from one of the other forums which is clear. His first response wasn’t clear to me.
    I’m still quite green when it comes to php, but I can deal with that. My concern at the moment is integrating any new tags into MySQL. I haven’t seen any documentation (yet) that might help me to this end.
    thanks,

    Ok….? I’m running MT right now on my site and know how difficult if not impossible it is to add extra tags to the system.
    Are you saying that WP does support adding tags to the back-end (database) by creating a proper php function via either a hack or plugin?
    thanks for posting a comment.
