If you tryed everything and upload in your wordpress still doesn’t work – i have an answer for you. 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 *

Yes, this fix is a savior. Thanks. There’s another fix out there that might work for some as well.
