“Unable to create directory…” error in WordPress

I moved my WordPress site to another host. After the moving, I had an error:

Unable to create directory /hsphere/local/home/infous/starikovs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

The first idea I had was about folders or files permissions. I changed the permissions but an error sill was there. After I googled some time I found that there’s a setting that sets the uploading path. I changed this setting and an uploading started to work OK!

To change an uploading path go to:

wp-admin -> Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Store uploads in this folder, and set the correct path. I chose the default folder wp-content/uploads and it works well in my case.

    In case that someone land here just like me:

    I’ve been very stressed with this.
    I searched a lot and nothing worked for me but now I figure it out! (At least for me)

    Try this if none of the previous solutions worked for you:

    1 -Go to PHP MY ADMIN to see your DB where do you have WordPress installed.
    2 – At the top, click in the two tools, in english will be something like “OPTIONS” or “OPERATIONS”.
    3 – select the AUTO INCREMENT and save/execute.
