Error: The uploaded file could not be moved

This is typically due to a permissions error. If you run "ls -l" on your uploads directory, you can see the current permissions for that directory.

Your web server needs to have 'write' permission to the uploads folder in order to save uploaded pictures there.

Modify File Permissions with chmod
