Permission troubles

[kelei]

Well, everything was going fine... but recently i have been getting this message when trying to batch add files:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /gallery/searchnew.php on this server.

It doesnt happen with all folders, just certain ones. Any idea why?

The "forbidden" error isn't generated by coppermine, but your webserver. Make sure you haven't got an .htaccess file in place (e.g. one that is meant to give you hotlink protection). For details, contact your webhost.

there is a .htaccess in the main public_html...

i dont understand .htaccess but how could that effect only some of the albums?

[Joachim Müller]

.htaccess is used (among other things) on Lunix boxes to determine access rights for folders and files (hence the name). It can restrict access to individual files and folders/subfolders within the directory it resides in (only to some or to all). Without knowing what actually is in the .htaccess file I can't tell you more. This is not a coppermine issue - as I already told you: you have to contact your webhost if you have no idea how to fix this for yourself.
