I have a client wanting to use their host, http://experthost.com/ and I am running into some problems.

When I run ServerBuddy, I get the following warnings:

mySQL Version 4.1.21 FAIL

PHP Release 08 November 2007 WARNING - They are using PHP 5.2.5

Max Exec Time 30 secs FAIL

File Permissions for / 750 FAIL [NOTE: I am using 750 on the root directory on my Hostgator accounts w/o issues.]

File Permissions for /wp-admin/ 755 WARNING

I don't know if this is related, but when I try to upload themes and/or plugins using the WP installation, I get the following error message:

Quote

The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/local/pem/vhosts/109751/webspace/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2010/09.

Any ideas?

It sounds like file permissions, you may want to check and make sure you have write permissions to the uploads folder.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

I have 755 on all of the directories. I tried 775 and 777 on the uploads folder and still no luck.

I FTP access, but it is the WP access that doesn't seem to work.

Any more ideas?

Also, should I be concerned with the other notices from ServerBuddy on mySQL and PHP?

It would be a good idea to ask the host about those issues, but it still sounds like write permissions.

One thing I have seen before is that the shared hosting account has permissions but the account you are on individually doesn't have permissions. That may not be the issue but its worth a shot I will try and figure out what else could be causing the problem.
