wordpress problem | Unable to create directory uploads/
I am having problems uploading a file into mu wordpress site
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

changed the group to www-pub
www-pub:x:1001:www-data,user1
But this doenst work
do:
and
and then add your user to www-data group:
The problem was not in the user rights but in the wordpress settings
This was solved by adjusting the path in setting ->tools -> media
