Title: [SOLVED] Cant Create Category
Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 02:00:25 am: I have now tried reinstalling Coppermine 1.2.

1) Login as admin into PHPNuke 6.9

2)Click Categories button

3)Click Update/Create Category

and i get...

Sorry, such file doesn't exist...

Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 02:07:07 am: The other problem i forgot to mention is that about Batch Adding of pictures.

Obviously if you have no albums created and you hit the Batch Add button you get an error - saying that you need atleast one album.

So then i go and click on Albums (this is while i am in admin mode but not logeed in as a user to coppermine) - I have to categories to choose from -
"My Gallery" and "No Category" - if select "My Gallery" then add an album there then go to Batch Add Pictire - it lets me in - however i cannot select that album that i have just created but i can see the pictures that i need to add to that album.

Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 03:09:51 am: OK i have done what you guys have suggested - by renaming Coppermine to coppermine - and i can get the Catrgories function to work now.

Thankyou so much for that - you guys are awesome...

the next problem is (sorry - i must be the dumbest users you guys know) is that if i have deleted the images inside the album folder via FTP.

then i go to remove the album (i have now learnt you should just let coppermine do the album deletion) how do you get rid of the album - because when i attempt to delete it - it gives me errors saying that it cannot access that directory anymore...

Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 03:58:01 am: have tried that - doesnt work - the error i get is:

CRITICAL ERROR

Directory 'modules/Coppermine/albums/TEST/' is not writable, pictures can't be deleted

File: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/redcordialdesigns.com/httpdocs/PHP/html/modules/coppermine/delete.php - Line: 118

I have checked the folder and CHMOD property is 755

Post by: DJMaze on November 11, 2003, 04:04:50 am: chmod the directory to 777

Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 04:20:15 am: cool - just did that as you must have replied - and the album is gone.

Another Question does the Batch Add Pictures - work inconsistently.

The reason i ask is becuase i attempt to upload 50 pictures via ftp to the directory - this works fine.

then i go to admin in coppermine - i then click on batch add pictures - then select directory -

its here where it gets a little weird - half the picture thumbnails appear the other half dont - i can right click on it and force them to show.

then select appropiate album.

then click add pictures to gallerie - i then get the little OK's - but only half of them show up - with the rest being red crosses (as in like broken image link)

i then view album and only half the pictures are there.

Any ideas???

Post by: matteast on November 11, 2003, 04:27:54 am: ALBUMS = 755

ALL FOLDERS INSIDE ALBUMS = 755

Post by: gtroll on November 11, 2003, 06:53:55 am: these folder may need execute permissions to be able to open for writing try perms 777. Are you running apache on UNIX as a module or suexec/cgi?
