    Hi,

    My installation of Beta 3 at http://hanlon.ca/gallery worked really well the first day, but I have been trying to upload more pictures and I am getting the following warning:

    Warning: mkdir(.../gallery//images/seasons/spring) [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in .../admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 880

    I tried changing the CHMOD settings on the images directory to 777 but received the same warning. I searched the forum for the answer but could not find a post with this particular problem. Can anyone help?

    Never mind. Problem solved.

    To create a new album, I had to temporarily change the CHMOD settings from 755 to 777 for the 'images' directory and ALL of it's subdirectories as well, even though the subdirectories were not involved in the upload. This is probably old news to more experienced ploggers, so apologies for the wasted forum space.

    However, is there any way of avoiding all of this extra admin business when performing routine tasks like uploading or creating collections and albums?

    Permissions and filesystem manipulation are really tricky business and something that has given us headaches since day one. For some people it will work right out of the box, for others it requires a little bit of extra effort with the FTP client. Plogger will try everything it can to CHMOD the directories it creates with the correct permissions, but due to different levels of server security and different types of user/permission mask setups, it doesn't always work. If there are any PHP programmers out there who know how to make this run smoothly across all setups please contact me mike at plogger.org.
