Receiving this error: Before you can upload your import file, you will need to fix the following error: Unable to create directory uploads/2015/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server? ls -l /uploads drwxrwsrwx 12 www-data www-pub 4096 Mar 18 11:51 uploads
root@ibaai:/var/www/wp-content/uploads/2015# ls -l total 4 drwxrwsrwx 2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 18 11:56 03
my process shows that www-data runs apache /var/www/wp-content# ps aux | egrep apache www-data 1829 0.0 10.6 330832 53616 ? S 11:48 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
