Sounds like a problem with PHP Safe_mode, it prevents Plogger from creating a directory within the directory is has already created. If you can turn off safe_mode it would probably solve your problem, although we haven't yet come up with a script level fix for this.
You could try creating the directory manually. The directory structure is /plogger/images/collection_name/album_name/picture.jpg. I honestly don't know if that would work or really be any fun for you to do for each album =/
I checked the php.ini and found that the safe_mode is off already. Btw, I know Plogger can create collections as I found the collections folder inside images directory. In addition, the images and thumbs directories are set to 777.
I am told by my host that the issue is related to the fact that windows does not have GD library that plogger does use and therefore if I move to a LINUX based system it should do the trick. does it make sense? thanks
My site is on an Apache server with safe mode off and I have the same problem. Any solutions yet as I really like this gallery but can't use it get this message when trying to create an album: Could not create directory !
ok.. I'm having the same problems and have tried the above. I still get this error: "Could not create directory C:Inetpubwwwrootplogger//images/TEST_GALLERY!
Here is my configuration: WinXP PRO sp2, IIS5.1, MySQL (latest version) PHP 4.4.4 (I can't for the life of me get PHP 5.1.6 to intall, even manually - i had to revert back.); save_mode = off,
I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!! The solution was so simple... after trying to tweak the code (with no luck) and searching this forum.. I decided to google "How to CHMOD 777 on windows xp" and I came up with this site: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11962
Occam's Razor was right again...In short, when given two equally valid explanations for a phenomenon, ("It doesn't work") one should embrace the less complicated formulation. (Duh, check to be sure the permissions are set correctly for the folders!)
Go to your FTP and go to the plogger/images/collection_name and try to set the 0777 permission on it. If this is not possible, delete the collection_name folder and create it again and name it as it was before and then set the 0777 permission, I did that and it did work.
