Ubuntu folder permission, running WordPress on nginx

I have a very mysterious problem with permission on nginx/ubuntu VPS.

I keep getting the following error, when using media upload on wordpress:

“asr.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error Unable to create directory uploads/2014/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

But, here are my uploads folder settings, which states that www-data is the owner, I've also checked that WordPress is running as www-data user:

drwxrwxr-x 8 www-data www-data 4096 Feb 6 14:41 uploads

Any suggestions please? Many thanks.

Problem solved. The issue was tedious WordPress settings oversight. Completely forgot to check uploads folder location after server migration; check for upload folder setting under Settings/Media.
