Can't create albums in revision 175

[Jacob]

When I install this revision everything runs fine. I checked phpmyadmin and all the tables have been created. When I go into “manage” in the “admin” section, I am able to create a collection, but I am NOT able to create any album. This problem is the same in IE and Firefox

Did you get any specific error messages? Did you run _upgrade.php first? Was it a fresh install? I can't reproduce the error on my machine. Can you create an album through the upload tab or the import tab?

[Jacob]

It was a fresh install of the newest repository version, so I only ran _install.php and not _upgrade.php. The only error-message I got was "Could not create directory !" when trying to create an album. Since it was a fresh install, I am not able to use the functionality under the "upload tab" or the "import tab", before I create one collection and one album under the "manage" tab.

I'm pretty sure this is a permissions issue. Did you set write permissions for your /images/ directory?

[Jacob]

I set permissions (CHMOD 777) for /images/. Remember, I could create a collection - and still can - so it can't be a permissions issue.

I just re-installed the whole thing, just to make sure I hadn't screwed somethin up. I downloaded the latest version as of august 27th from the repository via SVN_update. 777-permissions was given to the entire plogger directory and /images/, /thumbs/, /uploads/ and /plog-config.php. Install went fine. Under the "manage" tab I created 3 collections without any problems. But, when I went in to any of the three collections and tried to create an album it just gave me the same error-message "Could not create directory !". This must definitely eliminate the permissions-issue.

[mike]

What happens you when you chmod 777 the collection subdirectories within the images folder?

[Jacob]

It was already chmod 777, and I changed it back and forth with no luck - still the same error when trying to create an album

[mike]

I'm sure this is a safe-mode problem now. Looking into work-around.

Every file and directory in Unix has an owner and a group. Who 'owns' the collection subdirectories and who owns the Plogger PHP files? Your FTP client can likely show you that information.

It is deffinitely a php safe mode issue. I fixed it by having my ISP move my domain to a server where php safe mode was set to off. I have not set this ticket to resolved, as I am unsure whether it is a goal for us to have our gallery work with php safe mode set to on.
