Software Problem on Dedicated Server...Not a Problem on Shared??

I purchased a dedicated server a couple months ago and have been slowly moving a few sites that I have on shared servers to my the dedicated server. I have run across a strange problem that I hope someone can help me solve. Below are the details.

I have Wordpress blogs (an open source blog program) installed on my Shared account and they install and work fine. But when I install the program on my dedicated server I have a couple of problems that don't show-up on my shared account.

1. The program has a folder for file uploads. However, I get the following error on my dedicated server. I thought my dedicated may be unzipping the file without the proper directory and file permissions, but I checked all the program directories and file permissions between the two servers and they are all identical. One other bit of interesting info...the upload directory is set to 755 on both servers...I don't get the error on my shared server, but do on the dedicated...if I change the permissions to 777 on the dedicated, then that solves the problem.
It doesn't look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified (/home/extremec/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/upload) doesn't appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos. http://www.ekuprofessor.com/temp/upload.gif
2. I use a WYSIWYG editor plugin on this software that works fine on my shared server, but doesn't on my dedicated. The icons for the editor don't show on my dedicated server...see image at following link: http://www.ekuprofessor.com/temp/icons.gif and when I activate the WYSIWIG editor, I sometimes get the following error when I navigate to other areas in the software: http://www.ekuprofessor.com/temp/error.gif

None of these problems occur on the shared server...everything is installed in the exact same locations and all file permissions are identical.

Here is a screenshot of my shared server information from cpanel: http://www.ekuprofessor.com/temp/shared.gif

Here is a screenshot of my dedicated server information from cpanel: http://www.ekuprofessor.com/temp/dedicated.gif

Given all this, I'm sure it's not a problem with Wordpress or the WYSIWIG editor. There has to be some setting on my dedicated server that needs "tweeking", but I've looked at all the settings in my WHM and am at a loss to determine what it is.

I know this is a long message, but I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

Steve
