wordpress upload_error Unable to create directory

Trying to upload image files at Media Library, and when I upload a file I get following error

“306.gif” has failed to upload due to an error Unable to create directory uploads/2014/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

the permissions for wp-content and wp-content/uploads are already 0777

and I have also tried by changing the ownership for my project directory www-data

chown -R www-data:www-data wordpress1

I think it starts occurring from yesterday when I updated the wordpress to 3.8.3

Please

  1. login with FTP
  2. Go to your upload folder
  3. Press right button of your mouse
  4. Change you permission to 777 all

it must work now.

The issue was in wp-admin > Settings > Media, the location for file upload in the field Store uploads in this folder wasn't correct it supposed to be an absolute path to my app > wp-content > uploads

/var/www/app.dev/wp-content/uploads
