Wordpress IIS Failure to Upload

Discussion in 'General troubleshooting' started by JonDavis23, Nov 5, 2012.

  1. I apologize if this issue has been posted before.
    I am having issues uploading files with wordpress. I receive the 2 errors:

    The path E:\web\...\.../wp-content/themes/Pluto/data is not writable, please login with your FTP account and make it writable (chmod 777) otherwise all admin uploader won't work.

    and

    The path E:\web\...\.../wp-content/themes/Pluto/cache is not writable, please login with your FTP account and make it writable (chmod 777) otherwise all admin uploader won't work.



    I changed the permissions to 777, 755, and deleted the folders and tried again with no luck.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks
    Jon
     
  2. You can't chmod permissions on a Windows server. Your FTP client may allow you to set those permissions, but the server ignores that. All the directories created when you installed WordPress are writable.

    Under Options > General do you have a server path (E:\web\something) listed in "WordPress Address (URL)" or "Site Address (URL)"? That should be a URL rather than a server path...
     
  3. Thanks for the tip on the chmod. I forgot about that.

    Both the Wordpress URL and Site URL are set to the same http URL
