title: New install Wordpress 3.9 is throwing error: "Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/09" when uploading an image
body: <p>I did a new install of Wordpress on CentOS 6.5 and when I try to upload an image, I get an error stating:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/09
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked the permissions and groups and I believe everything looks correct.</p>
  
  <pre><code>//User "apache" is member of group:
  apache : apache webadmins
  
  //Permissions on wp-content:
  drwxr-sr-x.    4 root    webadmins  4096 Aug 29 10:07 wp-content
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read it should be 755, which it is, but this doesn't allow Wordpress to create any directories in there. What should it be so that it (and any plugins) can create upload directories (yet is secure)? </p>
  
  <p>Should it be 775?</p>
  
  <p><em>I checked two other Wordpress servers and one has 770 and the other has 775. Which is correct?</em></p>
