cannot delete album
« on: September 30, 2004, 01:45:13 am »

Hello,
I searched everything for this problem, but i couldn't solve it.
I have one album which I can't delete. When I try it there is this error:

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

The name ov the album is differetn from test. Where can I find the directory test?
What does the name test has to do with my album?
I can't even delete the file in there. Now i deleted the file in this album (I deleted it
in the folder together with the thump file) over ftp.
There is still the name of the file in the main window, but for sure it is only a broken link.
I can rename the folder but I can't delete it.
The album  and include is mod 755.
I tried to delete other albums and it worked.
What can I do to delete it together with the now broken link?

I would be so happy for an answer

If you delete the file over FTP, CPG doesn't know about it and the database entry will still be there. Try recreating the folder and file on your server and delete the file/folder from CPG instead. Or you could edit the database manually but that could mess things up if you don't know what you're doing.
