Can’t upload images to WordPress?

I just received the following error;

Unable to create directory //wp-content/uploads/2009/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

So I did a search online to see if I could find out why I kept having this problem, every time I wanted to add an image to my blog or pages.

Here is an excellent resource that fixed the issue;

Troubleshoot: Unable to create directory+Is its parent directory writable by the server?

In my case, it was the Miscellaneous settings, I had two extra slashes before the wp-content field.

Happy Troubleshooting!
