General Support: Cant create album, no matter what

I installed Plogger and created a collection but cant create an album. My first thought was to set the permissions to the collection folder I receive this message using Cute FTP.

"Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access)."

So I tried going INTo the collections folder and creating a folder in there just to see if I could but I am being told I dont have permission, however I cant change permissions on the collections folder.

At last I logged into my cpanel and went to the file manager and tried to change the permissions from there but still nothing. Then when I try to create a folder within the collection folder using the cpanel file manager it says the folder does not exist.

This has been a problem both times I installed plogger and I have no idea whats going on. I have used both IE as well as Opera thinking it may be a browser issue (maybe) but the same error with Opera as well.

Server is running Linux with safe mode on if this matters.

Thanks for the help. I hope this doesnt seem rude or anything but do you or anyone else know of a free script that will allow visitors to post comments and will allow pics to be published in groups?

Thanks again for the help.
