Hello all,


I installed coppermine for the first time yesterday but when trying to upload pictures i get the following error:

Failed to create directory albums/userpics/10001 !

    I think i've set everything ok... searched the coppermine support but can't really find out how to handle this annoying problem.

    Any of you experts want to help me out plz?

    PS: i've set the groups (admin + registered) to single file upload and upload pictures is on...


    Thanks a lot

IF you are running on a Linux/Unix server, this problem is almost always rights related.

You most likely FTP'd the coppermine files into place (Files now "belong" to your FTP user), and now the coppermine script (running as a different user - most Linux systems the webserver runs as user "nobody") is trying to create a directory and write files in a directory it does not own.  You will need to use your FTP client (so that you are logged in as the file/directory owner) to change the permissions so that the webserver can modify and create files.

See your documentation for coppermine, and in particular the required directory permissions.  They need to be writable for the webserver.  In some cases that will mean changing the directory permissions to "755".  In most cases it means changing the directory permissions to "777".  The difference is too deep for this type of discussion, so I would suggest you FTP to that directory, and change it to 755 and try again.  If that does not work, try 777.

Hi Gram,

thank you for replying to my message. My situation is, i've installed coppermine via the cpanel of my host which i'm using a linux package on. When I tried to install some new themes yesterday I noticed that there was a coppermine map now on the server. Could you please give me some more details what to do, like in what map i should go (name) and what precisely I should change? I've never done this..


Thanks in advance
Bates

don't use auto-installers, they're known to be buggy. Use the package that you can download from our page and do as suggested in the docs that come with it.
