error

[mzsparrow]

Directory 'albums/screencaps/chapter1/' is not writable, files can't be deleted


what do i do?

[Nibbler]

Make it writable. Use your FTP client to chmod the dir to 777 or 755

[mzsparrow]

okay, i did that, and i still get the error message >.<

[mzsparrow]

neither 777 nor 755 works

[mzsparrow]

please, i really need this done.


screencaps>curse of the black pearl

thats the album that its doing it in!

any help is really appreciated, im putting my site online pretty soon and id like to have this problem fixed before then

[Nibbler]

If you PM me FTP details I can take a look for you.

[Nibbler]

Sorted. Remember not to interfere with batch added files with your FTP client.

[mzsparrow]

wonderful, thank you so much!

what was it exactly that i did wrong?

[Nibbler]

The deletion code doesn't check it facts properly. It throws out the perms error even if the folder does not exist. If you delete things via FTP then you need to replace the folders (ie upload an empty folder of the same name) which coppermine then happily deletes.

ah, kay.

thanks so much for your help
