    I think php safe mode is on on your server, you can turn it off via an .htaccess file in your gallery root (although I have no idea how to do this), or you can edit your php.ini file to turn it off (this I can do, just look for safe_mode on and change it to safe_mode off).

    and is there any other possibility? (eg. change script)? Because, i guess webhoster wouldn't allow to turn it off...

    unfortunately this doesn't work :( It seems that there is not permitted to set the safe_mode off by php (neither by htaccess, i guess, but i'm not sure)

    thanks anyway

    well you could edit the add_album() function in plog-admin-functions.php to not create the directory, then you could use phpmyadmin or something to get the directory name out of mysql and then create the directories manually...

    good thing though... php 6 no longer has safe mode... :)

    yup, i have to change the function, but as far as i know it is not only about this function, it does not permit me to upload photos because of move_uploaded_file() (safe_mode restriction again).

    Unfortunately, hostings will have php6 maybe in next century (today usually 4th) :(

    So I have finally solved it. If you could not set safe_mode off, you can do this workaround:

    in the file admin/plog-admin-functions.php

    change function makeDirs (comment everything inside) and write only:

    return true;


    variable $create_path set as empty string, like that:

    $create_path ="";


    change function move_album
    from:

    $source_path = $config['basedir']."images/".$source_collection_name."/".$source_album_name;
    $target_path = $config['basedir']."images/".$target_collection_name."/".$source_album_name;

    to :
    $source_path = $config['basedir']."images/"; //.$source_collection_name."/".$source_album_name;
    $target_path = $config['basedir']."images/"; //.$target_collection_name."/".$source_album_name;


    function add_picture
    from

    $final_fqfn = $config["basedir"].'images/'.$create_path.'/'.$final_filename;

    to

    $final_fqfn = $config["basedir"].'images/'.$final_filename;


    function move_picture
    from

    $directory = SmartStripSlashes($album['collection_path'])."/".SmartStripSlashes($album['album_path'])."/";


    to:

    $directory = "/";


    function delete_picture
    from

    $full_path = realpath($config['basedir'] . 'images/' . $picture['path']);

    $full_path = realpath($config['basedir'] . 'images' . $picture['path']);


    function update_album

    from:

    $source_path = $config['basedir'] . "images/".$source_collection_name."/".$source_album_name;
    $target_path = $config['basedir'] . "images/".$source_collection_name."/".$target_name;

    to:

    $source_path = $config['basedir'] . "images/";
    $target_path = $config['basedir'] . "images/";

    and:


    $new_path = $source_collection_name."/".$target_name."/".$filename;


    to:

    new_path = "/".$filename;


    It cancels directories, but photos will be still in collections and albums.
