Hi! My Drupal was somehow set up on the same domain, as a subdomain, but from a different root folder from my primary URL.

So instead of deleting the addon domain, and re adding it with the root folder of the drupal install, we copy/pasted all of the files (since its the same server) into the original root folder, not the one the test site had been developed on.

Everything seems to work fine except uploading photos into articles. It essentially tells me it cannot write. I know how I'd fix it on Joomla, but I don't have joomla. I am able to add photos into the media repository directly then select them, but it's a hassle!

Any thoughts on what I need to update? DB is still same, etc.

You may check the admin Configuration > Media > File System paths. After these are set right make sure that:

sites/default/files
/tmp

are writable which means you may need 755 or 775 permissions for the first one and 777 for the tmp. You may need to check with your host for the tmp permissions if you are not on a server to which you have root access.
