WordPress Error: Unable to create directory

In order to fix this error please login to the WordPress dashboard ( http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin ) and access the Miscellaneous settings. Find the uploads path specified, it will most likely be specified as:

              /wp-content/uploads/
            

Change it to read:

              wp-content/uploads/ - without a beginning slash
            

After the first " / " is deleted, save settings and that will fix this error.
