WordPress Themes

[TxRobin]

I just installed XAMPP and WordPress 3.1.2 on my Mac running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I was able log in to /wp-admin/ and I then went to install a theme via uploading and received the following error:

Code: Select all

Unable to create directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?


Is there something I need to change somewhere?

Thanks,

Robin

You can create the files manually and then make sure they have writable permissions.

It worked for me

[djones]

are you trying it on localhost or in server?

pommykaine is on the right track.

Create the uploads directory manually, and make it read/write. I have had to do that on many localhost WP installs when I want to use the Media Library with monthly folders.

Good Luck
