Folder permissions for Wordpress on Azure

I have recently created a new Wordpress site, on azurewebsites.net. After the initial instal, I updated the PHP version to 5.4 and then resarted the site.

I was having trouble creating new folders, and in paticular, a plugin wasn't working as I would have expected.

The plugin was the WPTouch plugin. I installed the plug, but each time I tried to upload a new image to the

/wp-content/uploads/wptouch/custom-icons

(via the plugin, this was the final destination) I was getting the error message:

There seems to have been an error. Please try your upload again.

Within Web Matrix 2, I do not have the ability to create a new folder (I thought that I would create the folders myself, and see if that resolved the problem).

So my question is - is there an issue with the folder permissions, and if so, how can I get round this to make the Wordpress plugin work.

Thanks for your time.

I have had similar issues (upgrading WP plugins on Azure Website) and have found the only way to upgrade these is to restart the services, manually delete the remnants in the plugins folder, and re-install.

It's far from ideal but I'm persisting with it for now..
