THank you very much. I was about to go crazy trying to fix this. It was the permissions for the file that was incorrect. THANKS

Hello;

I had the same problem within Wordpress 2.8.6:
“The uploaded file could not be moved to… ” while uploading a plugin in zip format.
CHMOD 777 did not solve the problem, neither the recreation of upload folders. The error message did not give any clue why it failed!

But the cause was the fact that the file was 3Mb, and the PHP.INI upload limit was 2Mb, I changed it to 4Mb and it worked with no problem!
upload_max_filesize = 4M

Try to upload a small file and if that works, it is not a permission problem.
Maybe this helps for somebody.

Be every careful with the setting of 777 as it can solve my problem, but it will cause some security problem whereby people can hack in and modify the picture to some other picture to jeopardise your blog.
At the moment, I’m looking for solution which does not compromise the security of the uploads folder

Great great post!! I did everything but alas no avail! :( I first thought it was a disk space issue so I bought a hostmonster package and now NONE of my previous images are showing up! I’m so frustrated and confused that I think I’ll just shut down the site since no-one can help me or wants to. But thanks for this great post :)

Thanks a lot for this post! It solved the problem just fine. The rights were set to 775 while it should have been 777.

Something is still not working for me. I checked folder permissions, checked the .htaccess file. I am not going to redo my uploads folder because it has a lot of images. What is wierd is that the Plugin install is giving me this error but the upload of images is not giving me this error.

I had to upload the plugin files manually and do an old fashion install (unzip, upload into folder, activate from admin panel).
