Hi,
I read through your support file and did check every folder in the Coppermine folder on my website and all folders have 777 or 755 permissions (that refers to R,W,X?).
Another suggestion said that the PHP max-something time was set at 60. This could be my particular problem as I have dial-up from my home computer; however, I was trying to upload VERY small files - like 50KB. I also had someone with a faster connection try and they were unable to upload either.
Maybe what isn't clear to me is what Coppermine's usage is. I recently moved from hosting my site on Yahoo! Geocities to a hosted site that runs through CPanel. Coppermine appeared as an add-on, and our group was looking for a way to upload pictures rather than people e-mailing me (or giving me a Zip drive) and then I have to upload all the pictures.
I tried changing the settings to single uploads, I've placed pictures directly in the albums or pictures files within Coppermine on my hosted site... anything I can do to get it to work.
Basically I get the error: Failed to create directory albums/userpics/10001 !
File: /home/arectlb/public_html/Coppermine/db_input.php - Line: 228
Warning: mkdir(albums/userpics/10001): Permission denied in /home/arectlb/public_html/Coppermine/db_input.php on line 227
Initially, I got an error that said it could not be moved from a particular file, though the file was on my computer, so I don't understand that.
Perhaps my problem is that Coppermine is for a different usage then I am thinking. I thought it was similar to how we could post pictures on Yahoo! Groups, where Members/Registered Users can simply post pictures in a given gallery. Or... is that the general usage of Coppermine?
I'm looking at the error again, about "failure to create directory." I did see something in the instructions about setting up a directory when installing Coppermine; however, based upon the directions I read when installing, it looked like you could leave most of the fields blank, so I don't know/think I have created something separate... and maybe that is my error.
Forgive me if I have missed an obvious solution. I worked with Perl and CGI scripts a LONG time ago, and haven't had work/home opportunity to work with advanced skills, so please have patience (cuz this looks like a great program, and I would prefer not to have to upload lots of files myself for the back-end way).
Thanks in advance.
