I've searched all the old threads and help posts for this particular problem and have tried most everything (changing permissions, checking upload path, etc).
I've used WordPress for my site under the umbrella of my university site - in other words, my university is my web host. I've installed WordPress and when I go to upload media, the following error message occurs:
"The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads."
I've changed permissions to '777' and checked the upload_path under options.php. Are there any other ideas on what I could do or should I contact my webhost to see if there are additional permissions that I need?
