Directory 'albums/userpics/10221/' is not writable, files can't be deleted

Any advice on the above error? It happens when a user attempts to delete their own photos.

The userpics is 777 and the owner of 10221 has full rights.

Thanks!

Well, apparently the permissions aren't suffiecient, hence the error message. How did you find out that the permissions are 777 - do you have shell access? If not, re-apply them! Don't trust the permissions status your FTP app displays.

Thanks for the reply,

Here are albums/userpics permissions: drwxrwxrwx

Here are the albums/userpics/xxxxx permissions: drwxr-xr-x

What should the permissions be to upload and delete? It was working just fine and then this just up and started.

Thanks!

Well, it doesn't matter if you're saying your permissions are drwxrwxrwx or 777. I asked how you found out about them. Please review the docs on setting permissions, there's a lengthy section about it. I can't tell you what the permissions need to be set to on your server, as this differs depending on server setup. You'll have to ask your webhost when in doubt.

I understand what you are saying, I didn't clarify, these were determined via Shell Access. I set all permissions as required during the installation according to the install doc - what I can not find is what permissions are needed by the user specifically in the folder, that is why I posted what they are displaying in from the shell... does it look right or wrong for the folders I listed?

As suggested, it depends on server setup. 755 is fine for some setups but not for others. Try 777.
