Okay, it’s not a red herring, it’s a grapefruit, but I am able to upload images to the site again. It appears that when my hosting provider said I had “15 gigabytes free” what they actually meant was “0 bytes free”. So I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to fix permissions on the directories when the real problem was that I was out of disk space (which causes the same error).
I already knew I needed to change hosting providers. I guess it’s time.
