I installed Coppermine through Fantastico, and it works great. I can create all the categories and albums I want, and I can delete them as well. I got the theme changed and added a couple new accounts. The problem is that I can't upload or add any files to the gallery.
My Installation Location: http://www.spifftacular.us/photos/
My PHPInfo: http://www.spifftacular.us/phpinfo.php - I did this outside Coppermine so others could see it, as I haven't a clue what to look for, and I'm sure this would come in handy.
Okay, so when I tried to add a file to my first album, it would upload fine and prompt me to press "continue". I would fill out the details and try to finish that file, but it gives me the following error when I try that:
QuoteCritical error
Failed to create directory /albums//userpics/10001 !
Warning: mkdir(/albums//userpics/10001): No such file or directory in /home/cherrii/public_html/photos/upload.php on line 2192
Then I thought I'd try the batch-add option, since I'd gone in to confirm the permissions were 777 on all album directories. I created a new directory (/albums/flashfiles/), corrected the permissions on that directory, then uploaded my files into it. But when I got into the Batch-Add function in my gallery, it didn't have any directories listed the way the documentation showed.
My question is how do I add files to my gallery? I can't simply upload them without getting an error, and I can't batch-add them either. I read that it does support .swf files in addition to regular image/video files, so I'm really confused.
I hope I've been detailed enough to receive assistance. Thanks.

You have a double slash in the url;
Quote/albums//userpics/10001)
Go into config, and check the ' The album directory' is set correctly.
If that does not work, try getting the latest version of upload.php from the cvs, here (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/coppermine/stable/upload.php?rev=1.13).
Replace your existing one with that.
That seems to have fixed it. It's funny though ... I hadn't changed those values when I set everything up. It had set up with /albums/ and /userpics/, so when I removed the front slashes from both of them, it started working. Thanks for your help. :D
