Save Config. / Critical Error
« on: January 25, 2007, 01:17:08 am »
I have two problems and I drastically need help please! 

1) I keep getting the error below when I try to upload pics.

----
Critical error
Destination directory albums/userpics/ is not writable by the script !
----


2) In 'Config' menu, it won't let me 'save new configuration'.



Coppermine photogallery location: http://www.greatbasin-dw.com/photogallery

I've tried using both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox with unfortunately the same results.  I don't know if it is the version that I have, or what is the problem. I've had so many problems with using the coppermine photogallery that it is very frustrating.  Can anyone give me some tips to stay ahead of the problems?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me!

Have you checked the permissions?  If Coppermine can't write to the directory, that means it doesn't have permission.  If you are on a Linux host, you can CHMOD the albums directory to 777 (or whatever your host allows).  You should review the documentation and the FAQs, as permissions are discussed in those places.

Never post admin accounts. This can be used to take over your server

Is your box running on save mode? If so

Nope, neither of those helped.

"albums", "albums/userpics", "include" directories are all 0777 permissions.

Yes, I believe it is in safe mode? Below is the contents of "config.inc.php"

<?php

    define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1 ) ;

    $CONFIG['dbserver'] = 'localhost' ;
    $CONFIG['dbuser'  ] = 'greatbas_copp1' ;
    $CONFIG['dbpass'  ] = '*********' ;
    $CONFIG['dbname'  ] = 'greatbas_copp1'   ;

    $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] = 'cpg_' ;
   
?>

Whoah - never post sensitive details like your mySQL data on a public board! Attackers could use it to mess up your site, install backdoors and other bad stuff. I edited out the password entry in your above posting. You should nevertheless change your mySQL password and make the changes in include/config.inc.php
