Most probably you need to change the ownership of the directory... Not the permissions...
chown -R www-data:www-data dir
There are multiple threads about it in WordPress forum. Below some of the replies:
"In the WordPress admin under settings > miscellaneous set the default upload folder to wp-content/uploads. Then make sure the uploads folder exists and set the file permissions on the folder to 777. This should allow WordPress to write images to the wp-content/uploads folder. If you still get the error delete the uploads folder and recreate it manually and reset the permissions to 777." - MWVD

@noaman which command should i run to change only ownership of wp-content/uploads/ only
Chown -R www-data:www-data /path-to/ wp-content/uploads/
@robohost it showing command not found. So what should i do.. i have attached screenshot [ http://imgur.com/qbl8REO ]
might be case sensitive. try chown instead of Chown
OMG stop copying random commands from the internet forum ...
@rajprakash

@zong11....
I solved...it the moment you posted it...just look at the jarland Digital ocean guide to set up wordpress on ubuntu VPS
@andreamada
Why 777?
It is a security nightmare
because people simply don't get the gist of linux permissions. and probably don't even want to.
btw: chown to www-data probably isn't the best solution either, at least it doesn't make much sense to always change owner and group to that, don't you think so?
For Kloxo/Kloxo-MR, try 'sh /script/fix-chownchmod'.
Now what you need to determine is if you created any security hole by doing that.
Just do a good'ol
chmod 777and call it a day!@mustafaramadhan Done everything using 'sh /script/fix-chownchmod' cmd... kloxo best
