i developed the site locally, i inserted all the pics in the various posts and pages. After uploading everything, why isn't the pictures appearing on the site?
Please have a look at it www.energyworkforce.net. I looked into the wp-content folder (in the webhost's server) and i found a folder called uploads. Inside the uploads folder there was folder named 2008 and then another folder called 12.
I presume that it is because the images were inserted in December. I thought of using the same method of deleting and re-uploading the files but this time it didn't work.
I checked the root directory on the server to see if there were any files i missed out particularly the wp-content folder (in the webhost's server) and i found a folder called uploads. Inside the uploads folder there was folder named 2008 and then another folder called 12.
All the images are in there.
I thought maybe i'd have to use Wordpress's dashboard (live) and then insert the images again. For testing purposes i edited a page and tried to insert an image and this is the error i got on the Wordpress Dashboard:
Unable to create directory C:\wamp\www\energyworkforce/wp-content/uploads/2008/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I found out that i needed to chang access permission for the wp-content folder to 755 and also tried 777. It didn't work.
I did more research and found this article

It states that by setting safe_mode_gid=On safe mode checks the files GID (group) instead of the UID (user) and this allows file uploads on Wordpress.
Any thoughts on this? Do you think my webhosting company will allow to change the safe_mode_gid=On in the php.ini file?
Now the error is:
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/httpd/vhosts/energyworkforce.net/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads//2008/12.
