I'm currently working with the DIEM 5 CMS system, and my problem is finding how to properly set up a catalog for the image thumbnails. The catalog is outside the main (root/uploads) website catalog and this is my problem. When I create the new catalog via FTP and copy files (web/uploads) it's showing the error "Forbidden 403".
How can I move the uploads catalog?
Make sure the file permissions of the upload folder allow for this. A 403 error indicates a permissions issue.

I am trying to setup Wordpress manually.
First, I created the database and user and connected them both with all privileges.
Next, I downloaded the Wordpress setup file and added the database name, username and password to the wp-config.php file and uploaded the Wordpress file to the file manager under public_html.
But when I visit my website, it's still not showing the setup wizard. I also tried manually entering the URL - www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php, but it redirects to me the same page (page image is below)
this the page i am getting instead of wordpress setup wizard
According to the screenshot, you haven't set up your Wix account to use your domain name. If you have, was this done recently? DNS propagation can take 24 - 48 hours.
If the domain name and server are connected, then you need to make sure all WP files are uploaded. You should have downloaded a zip file to your computer. Unzip the file, then FTP the entire folder inside your public_html folder.
Once that is done, then you can proceed with the installation.
The problem is, Wix has their own software and blog features. You will need to set up WP on a subdomain. You can learn how to set up a subdomain through Wix here and how to install the WP to a subdomain here.
The biggest problem, though, is Wix. You would be a lot better off getting stand alone hosting such as SiteGround, A2hosting, etc. If you are looking for cheap hosting, HostGator and Green Geeks are decent enough.
I have get some images issue. Images are not displayed even images are at the proper location. Also When I tried to open images in browser, it says not found. Wordpress version 4.8.3 with visual composer. Tried to upload images using wp - media. Images uploaded but does not work (displayed)
Steps followed to resolve is issue:
Give 777 permission to uploads directory and all subdirectory
folders.
Inform host regarding the issue. but not able to solve the issue.
Check images by calling third site url. in that case images displayed.
I have a website that I just transferred from one server to another. I did this by copying all the files via FTP from the old server to my computer and then to the new server. I changed the URL in Settings to the new url and I downloaded a copy of the database. I then uploaded the database to the new server and changed all the database info in the wp-config file. Afterwards I used Velvet Blues Update URLs to make sure all the URLs have been changed in the database.
After doing all the the website is working fine. I could update my plugins and my WordPress core files that needed updated.
The problem is now I can't upload a plugin from my computer or any media files like images. When uploading an image, I get this message:
“image.jpg” has failed to upload.
Unable to create directory uploads/2017/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I checked and this directory is already on the server. In FTP I changed the folder permissions to all be set to 775.
I then tried to change the folder structure for media files to not be broken into month/date folders and I get this message:
“image.jpg” has failed to upload.
Unable to create directory uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I know this directory exists and is set to 775. To double check I also change the wp-content directory to the same permissions.
What am I doing wrong here? Why can't I upload images and plugins via the WordPress backend?
I actually think I figured this out. I went into Settings -> Media and noticed there was a box that says Store Uploads to This Folder and had a folder for the old website. I deleted the information that was in that box and updated the settings and now it works!
I had this exact issue today. After much troubleshooting, I solved this images not uploading issue -- specifically, when I clicked the upload button, no dialog window appeared. As a new WordPress installation, the dashboard was displaying asking if this was going to be a business or personal site. When I clicked I DON'T NEED ANY HELP, then I saw the normal dashboard with WooCommerce module displayed and I was able to upload media files and images from my hard drive.
I'm posting in case this answer can help someone else having this very weird problem. Also, it is possible that a plugin like OpinMonster might be what generated that "business or personal" message.
I am running wordpress on my own managed server so I have complete access to the box. The issue I'm having is that users can upload images to my image library but any uploaded are not loading due to 403 errors.
When I go directly to one of the images I get the message "Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe"
I have set the permissions on the .htaccess file and all files to 775 but it made no difference.
I also tried nuking the file and uploading a new .htaccess from a fresh wordpress download in case it was corrupted but it made no difference.
The strange thing is the images do display in one context, when you use the wordpress image editor.
Not sure what to do about this, I'm a drupal developer and only have a passing familiarity with wordpress.
Example working legacy image:

Example broken recent image:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It turned out the problem was that for some reason when the 2017 directory was created inside the uploads folder it was created with the wrong permissions, very odd, I've fixed the permissions and all is well now.
I am currently working on a WordPress project on a remote IIS server. I consider myself well versed in the use of WordPress, however, most of my previous projects have been on Apache servers and I am really running into problems on the IIS server.
I have contacted the host, and made sure that I have the correct file permissions. However, I cannot upload files or edit themes/plugins from the WordPress backend.
For example, when I use the WordPress theme editor panel, I make changes in the text, but when I click save there is no "Your changes have been saved message" and the file is just reverted to what it was before.
When I try to upload an image inside a post, I receive the following message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\xxx\wwwroot\xxx.com\www\dev/wp-content\uploads.
I notice the slash to the right of dev is incorrect, but I cannot figure out how to change this. I have tried defining this in the wp-config file with several different variations with no luck. For example, I have tried adding define('UPLOADS', '\wp-content\uploads') and I have also tried using the absolute path.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I need to get this squared away as soon as possible, but I am not sure where to go from here. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you for reading.

Edit
I have tried altering the "upload_path" via wp-admin/options.php with no success, and the following results:
When I try the absolute path, C:\xxx\wwwroot\xxx.com\www\dev\wp-content\uploads, I get the following
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\xxx\wwwroot\xxx.com\www\dev\wp-content\uploads.
When I try wp-content\uploads in the "upload_path", I get the following
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\xxx\wwwroot\xxx.com\www\dev/wp-content\uploads.
Chris's Blog » Wordpress upload permissions on IIS 7 Fix or Google for the IIS6 fix:
...You need to give the IUSR account Read/Write/Modify permission on
your wp-content folder.... and you need to give the IIS_IUSRS group
Read permissions on your “C:\Windows\Temp” folder.
See 10 Reasons Why Not to Host Your Wordpress Blog on a Windows/IIS Platform
you need to give php temp dir full permissions (iusr) (network service) c:\winnt\temp is the default upload dir before it moves to the wp site so this has to be set
in php admin (in iis applet) u can change the temp dir if your not liking the fact its in your NOS dir
next issue u will have is max_fileupload size also in php admin
iis works great best if your the admin of the server to quickly make the needed changes
