how to set permissions for users

[basicxman]

How do I set what albums normal (non-admin) users can upload to?

[Fabricio Ferrero]

Go to: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#album_prop
And: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#group_cp

Those links will solve your problem. Reads de docs, it's very useful. 

[basicxman]

i read those but i finally found my problem, i thought visitors meant the 'guests' group or other non-registered people

[basicxman]

no never mind this is not solved, my users can still not go on my gallery

user: demo_user
pass: awesome

[basicxman]

all the albums are set to Visitors can upload files and all registered and admin users can upload to personal and public galleries
their quota is set to max
but i still get the error `0 uploads were successful `

all the needed drectories are set to 777 or 755 for permissions so what is going on!?

[basicxman]

lol i keep forgetting stuff

i know there are no PHP errors because as an admin i'm able to upload stuff and a user was previously able to upload to his personal gallery

Ok, I have changed the topic back to unsolved. You have not provided a link to your gallery, you need to do this and also ensure you have done what has been said in the "Upload Troubleshooting" section of the documentation and also read the sticky thread in this board. Plus, enable debug mode and post the error message you receive when you try to upload files.

lol srry: http://theroboticsuniverse.com/GalleryR/

all the PHP stuff is set properly in php.ini

That's the debug output not the error, there will be an error message below the -  "0 uploads were successful".

Please enable debug mode for everybody so supporters can test the upload.

I see that Coppermine has been installed using an auto installer, this is not the recommended way of installing.

[basicxman]

it is done

[just_some_guy]

Your gallery seems to have some form of suppressed debug mode, it is missing the information about the PHP configuration etc in the output. There should be a more detailed error message shown when an upload fails and debug mode is enabled, currently there is no error message showing on your site, be it a consequence of using an auto installer and/or having a different debug mode i am not sure. Make sure that the width & max file size options in the config are great enough for the files you are trying to upload. Review your file permissions and PHP settings also.

[basicxman]

i used an auto installer -> should I manual install?  how I can stop it from losing all my photos, i could save thme all but i would rather not have to upload so many photos

[basicxman]

it is missing the information about the PHP configuration etc in the output.

there is under the debug mode click display phpinfo, it shows a bunch of stuff

[Fabricio Ferrero]

should I manual install?

It's always better.

[Joachim Müller]

No, just perform an upgrade as we suggest in the docs.

[Fabricio Ferrero]

It's always better.

Sorry, I just try to explain that if he is going to install again (and decide not follow your advises) I recommend to do a manual installing. I mean, in general terms, always is prefered a manual installing.

[Joachim Müller]

Sure, manual installs as we suggest them in the docs are in fact the only supported install method. But if someone has used an auto-installer, we recommend not to perform a fresh install, but perform an upgrade, see http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/auto-installers.htm#no_support
