Critical Error- Destination directory..............

[topgear]

i get this error message when trying to post photos up, it was working fine before. i have just been told by someone that its not working. the last time it was working was friday night.

the error message is.........

Destination directory modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/ is not writable by the script !

i have checked the permissions. they were on 755 and i put them to 777 but it still didnt work.

[topgear]

just thought i would add something............

the folder name, 10002 (numbers on the end). it doesnt matter which one it is, it doesnt work for any of them.

Are you using the phpnuke port of Coppermine?

I'm getting the same issue...

I upgraded successsfuly to 1.3.2... Everything looks gravy, except:

1.  The files upload okay iniitially (presuumably to the "edit" folder)...
2.  On the following page where you can enter title, etc, the photo shows okay...
3.  When I click the button to finalize the addition and photo description, I still get this message:

  Destination directory albums/userpics/10006/ is not writable by the script !

Again, I've already played with the permissions on both 755 and 777 as well.

(not using any ports or integration with other scripts)

Sorry to be impatient, but this issue is becoming a concern for us...

I wonder if this problem is a result of the recent upgrade of PHP implemented by a number of hosting companies? 

I don't have the technical knowledge to figure it out, but that is the only thing I've seen that correlates with the dates that this quirk began.

Help!

Have you tried the 'SILLY_SAFE_MODE' as per the docs 'safe mode issues'.

That took care of it, thank you VERY much Casper.
