I followed this tutorial on setting up a local web development setup without mamp. Now my problem is when I go to upload a image in WordPress I get the following error:
âScreen Shot 2013-01-05 at 10.51.42 PM.pngâ has failed to upload due to an error:
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
It seems like it might be some sort of permissions error, but I am not sure exactly what to change.
You need to change the file permissions on your
wp-contentfolder (and containing folders) to755. On your setup you can do this with:Please note that using
chmod -R 755will mark both directories and files as 755.By far the easiest way on a Mac is to right click on “uploads” , select “Get Info”, then change the permissions at the bottom of the “Uploads Info” window to include read and write for the appropriate users.
Just change the folder permission to 777 of wp-content.
