Deleting albums from coppermine

[Lorraine]

Hi I have Coppermine 1.3.3

I made a dumb mistake and add a an Apostrophe to the title of an album, like (Susan's ) and now I can't delete them, It happened before, you would think I would learn, but the first time I was able to delete the album. Now I get the error below. They are all CHMOD to 777. I use cuteFTP to up load my pictures. I even deleted the album from FTP, but I still can't remove them from Coppermine. I even tried to rename the album, but that didn't work either.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Directory 'albums/Scrapbooks/Susan's/' is not writable, files can't be deleted

Hi, this is an update, I found one file I couldn't CHMod to 777, and that's 'error_log' I tried it in my FTP, and in my cPanel..this is what I get when I tried it in my FTP...

   150 Accepted data connection
      226-Options: -a -l

Does anyone know what this might mean??

Recreate the folder, make it writable, delete it via coppermine

[Lorraine]

I did try to delete it from Coppermine first,and it wouldn't delete.

If I recreate the folder, I'll have to add the Apostrophe, and that's where I ran into the problem. But I'll try to do it again and see what happens, and will let you know.

Thanks Nibbler,

Well I tried, and just made a mess out of it. Now I have 5 albums I can't delete. I guess I'll just have to leave it, and hide them from view.  :'(

Thanks anyway

This is a bug that existed in outdated versions. Upgrade at least to cpg1.3.5.

[Lorraine]

Sorry GauGau, I tried to post a few times, but it wouldn't go through. Not sure this will work either.

When I do an update, can I go over the top of my older version, or do I have to start all over again??

Thank you for your help.

An update goes over your current version. The upgrade instructions are in the docs.

[Lorraine]

Thanks for your reply TranzNDance.

I have been checking it out, and don't think I'll be able to do it, all the backing up you have to do, I would surely mess it up. I wouldn't even know where to start.

I guess I'll have to let it go. The only thing wrong with my version, is I can't delete these certain albums. I can hid the album, so no one can see them except me.

Thanks for trying to help, Coppermine is a great program, maybe one day I'll find someone who will help me upgrade.
