In short: php safe mode won't let you create files or directories if your php scripts and upload directory belongs to different users. So there are 2 possible solutions: either disable php safemode (not recommended), or change an owner of scripts and upload directory: cd blog_root chown -R apache:apache * <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('692','sergee'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('692','sergee','If you tryed everything and upload in your wordpress still doesn\'t work - i have an answer for you.
