Critical error: Destination directory is not writable by the script

[SonicFreedom]

All of a sudden this comes up when submitting new info after photo upload.

"Critical error
Destination directory albums/userpics/10001/ is not writable by the script!"

I have v1.3.1 How do we resolve?
Thanks, Tim

Is the albums folder and everything writable by the script as suggested in the docs? You will have to re-apply CHMOD - see http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#how

Joachim

P.S. Probably not related to the issue, but you should upgrade to the most recent stable release cpg1.3.2

[SonicFreedom]

All folders in the path were either 755 or 777 but changing from 755 to 777 on the final user directory solved the problem.

Prior to using FTP to CHMOD, I think my host must have done something because logging into cpanel I was asked for my contact email again which was strange and only done upon first login.

Thanks for the help! In time I will upgrade anyway. Everything was stable otherwise. Great script!, T
