“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.
