Critical Error: Failed to create directory albums/userpics/10001 !

I uploaded a Single picture and :



Critical error
Failed to create directory albums/userpics/10001 !

Warning: mkdir(albums/userpics/10001): Permission denied in /home/janine/public_html/gallery/db_input.php on line 227

That is ALL i got.

Did you set the permissions correctly?

[Janine]

as far as I know i did, im admin.  Do i have to set something special up?  Please tell me the steps if neccessary.

[kegobeer]

Did you follow the CHMOD instructions in the documentation?

[Janine]

can you please link me?

[Tranz]

The documentation link is at the top of every forum page.

[Janine]

Wanted to add that if you change the name of userpics in config, you have to also change the name of the folder on your server--cp will not do it for you. (I know--duh!  I'm tired...)
But changing that folder name and then trying to upload will give the same error.

[Joachim Müller]

once you have uploaded pics, you mustn't change the folder name. There's little point in renaming it anyway, it's recommended to keep the name as-is.

okay, i followed to documentation, but i still get the same error

[Joachim Müller]

if you don't manage to CHMOD as suggested in the docs, ask your webhost for support. Posting a link and non-admin test user account might help as well.
