Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it. When I upload an image, everything goes fine until I get to the point where I see the preview image and I can then add a title or description to the pic. When I click on "continue", I get this error message......
Destination directory albums/userpics/10016/ is not writable by the script
I have no idea what that is. The admins of the site I'm at, tell me it's a browser related problem. Any ideas?
I also get this error message when I try to delete any of the pictures I uploaded weeks ago....yes, it was working for me just weeks ago...........
Directory 'albums/userpics/10016/' is not writable, files can't be deleted

Plenty more posts if you search for /albums/userpics/ is not writable by the script
Hmmm. Well, I don't know anything about CHMOD or permissions or 777 or anything like that. I'm simply a visitor to a message board and they have a picture gallery we can all use. Apparently, I'm the only user who cannot upload pictures. And that's odd, because I upoaded several pics when I first joined. The admins are pretty much convinced the problem is on my end, probably with my browser. IE 6 on WINXP SP2. Could it be a security setting on my machine?
Try using xp publish.
Add the filename xp_publish.php to the gallery's URL.

Well, I took a look at all of that. That's a lot to go through to simply add a picture. I don't even think my XP has publish, it certainly isn't an option when I click on a photo. It really shouldn't be this difficult to add a stinkin picture. I've uploaded photos for YEARS without this kind of problem. Think they might want to simplifiy things on the coppermine end. Unless there's a simple solution, guess I'm out of luck. Wish my admins would switch to a different/better alternative.
But thanks for the effort.
Well, if it worked before and now it doesn't, it's not like coppermine all of a sudden mutated and no longer works. It's something with your system setup or the gallery admin's permissions. But they're saying it's only happening to you, so process of elimination...
