Today, when helping people move from their website, we found that mp4 video files could not be uploaded on the new virtual host. Prompt: please check whether the superior directory is writable.After some operations to solve the problem, Lao Wei felt that this was a representative case, so he shared it for everyone to see.
The user uses the godaddy virtual host, as shown in the following figure. The page prompts that the/uploads/2022/07 directory cannot be created. Is its parent directory writable?
This problem is seldom encountered, and it is really puzzling.
The main idea is to check whether relevant directories exist and whether they can be written.
problem analysis
Use Godaddy's cPanel panel to check the permissions of related directories, including the permissions of the/07 directory and the directories at the upper levels are 0755. After changing to 0777, the test still gives the same prompt.
The same is true for deleting the/07 directory. A new directory cannot be created.
stayWordPress Site Health StatusIn the information column of, I found that the uploads directory is not writable, so I transferred my solution to it.
Problem solving
In WordPress background>Settings>Media>File upload>Default upload path, it is found that the path name used is still the name of the old virtual host, that is, the string of characters after home in the figure below.
This is the cPanel used by godaddy. The new and old virtual hosts have different names.
In this way, there is a solution. In the default upload path of WordPress, replace the old name with the name of the new virtual host. The other paths remain unchanged and save.
After testing, pictures and video files can be uploaded normally, and the problem is solved.
