Do I have to?

[milane]

Okey is it actually necessary for me to configure GD or Imagestick so that it works with my Copermine gallery? Because i keep getting this error when i try to put the picture i uploaded to an album. It says this Destination directory albums/userpics/10001/ is not writable by the script !  


If i am getting the error due to lack of GD or imagestick then can someone be very kind and tell me how to configure GD or Imagestick, it doesn't matter which i would use whatever you tell how to configure. Thanks alot it would really make me happy!! 

This is my empty gallery http://dualistic.org/gallery

PS. Tips are also appreciated

Try silly safe mode.

[milane]

lol sorry if this is dumb but i do not know what silly safe mode is

[Nibbler]

Add the line

Code Select Expand

define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1);

into your include/config.inc.php file. It's mentioned in the docs.

CHMOD as suggested in the docs.

Umm i did, I CHMOD Include, Album, Userpics, and Edit to 0777

Download your copy of config.inc.php to your local computer.  Make the change Nibbler suggested.  Delete the original from your server.  Upload the new one.

okey i am still getting the same error Critical error
Destination directory albums/userpics/ is not writable by the script !

I don't know why this is happening. I first Uploaded all the files that came with CPG to my server. I then CHMOD Albumbs, Include, Edit, Userpics to 0777. And then i went on the install.php and typed in the appropriate information. Then it said that I am done configuring CPG. I then created a New alblum and uploaded a picture. The when i try to put the picture into an ablum that error keeps coming up....

I am sorry if i am frustrating anyone here, but i really want this gallery to work, I like it alot .

If this will help this is what my config.inc.php looks like:

Code Select Expand


<?php
define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1);
// Coppermine configuration file

// MySQL configuration
$CONFIG['dbserver'] =                         'localhost';        // Your database server
$CONFIG['dbuser'] =                         'dualist_****';        // Your mysql username
$CONFIG['dbpass'] =                         '****';                // Your mysql password
$CONFIG['dbname'] =                         'dualist_gallery';        // Your mysql database name


// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg132_';
?>



Thanks You all Muah!

I agree and I hate it when people don't bother posting their solutions.  Anyway my question is in the mannor the config.inc was shown to be edited, is that what I need to do?  I'm having the same problem seemingly all of a sudden.
