I keep getting this error on a new server I just setup

I added 777 and created a uploads dir, but the error persists. How do I find the path that needs to either be corrected or created?
Change owner of upload/ to www-data:www-data and also chmod to 755
Looks like it doesn't know where upload/ is. Make sure you have the full path in your statement. For example, if upload directory is actually located in /var/upload, then make sure that is in your statement, not just upload/.
Log into your ftp and confirm the following:
- The folder exists, check for spellings
- Check the properties of the folder and make sure the permissions have read+write
0666
- Make sure the file is within your public html root, otherwise double check the owner of the file, and make sure PHP Has read / write access to it.
looking at the log:
Unable to move '/tmp/php6wlOg1' to 'upload/110216104651_00134_smooth_1440x900.jpg'
It seems to me that its looking in your root directory as upload/110216.... should be path.to/public_html/upload/110216....
If none of the above work, please post your line of code that has move_uploaded_file on.
It's trying to move the file to upload/ not uploads/, make sure the directory exists and is writable.
Provided, there are no spelling mismatches, give your upload directory (that directory ONLY) all user rights sudo chmod a+rwx /path/to/folder, that should fix the problem easily.
