I’m running Wordpress 3.8 on Ubuntu 12.10 and everything is running smoothly except for the Media Gallery function. Image uploads keep falling over despite having set the upload limit to 30Mb and changed permission on the 'Uploads" folder. Does anyone have a fix for this issue? Cheers.

Access your droplet and navigate to your wordpress installation folder for example /var/www/wordpress. There you will find the folder wp-content and do: <br>sudo chmod 755 wp-content <br>If you haven’t done this. Or if you changed the folder name go through again every step of the process.
What webserver are you using and what user is it running as (you can find out by running <code>ps wwaux | grep apache</code> or <code>ps wwaux | grep nginx</code>)?
Were you able to figure this out? I’m having the same problem on a lemp server. Usually if I retry, the upload works, but it is annoying to have this many errors, and my media library is cluttered with duplicates.
