Q: 

how to configure word press blog to save uploaded images to a certain dir. ?

i have a word press blog installed on my server but when i upload a image it goes into one directory, but the blog front end is lookign for the images in another directory... so the images show as broken. i have been manualy copying the uploaded images from server location to the one WP looks for them in and it works.

how can i set the WP blog to upload to the same dir on the filesystem that the WP front end is trying to pull from?

+1  A: 

The problem is most likely WordPress failing to correctly guess the upload path and URL.

Go to Settings > Miscellaneous and hardcode the correct path and full URL.

When you installed WP, you were given a username 'admin' and a password - this will be an admin account. Log in to WP using these details and follow my answer :)
