deleting albums that has missing files
« on: November 27, 2010, 01:57:14 am »

My gallery was hacked and any album that had a lot of files in it was deleted.  How can I delete the albums?  Keep getting "Critical error
Directory 'albums/flyers/monthly/2010/' is not writable, files can't be deleted"

If your files are being stored in directory 2010, you need to make it writable.  chmod to 777 or use your ftp program to update the permissions.

Delete them out of your database.

Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to view the database you set up where you created your gallery.
Browse the table prefix_albums.
Delete the albums you don't want any more.

your site? http://korentertainment.net/gallery2/index.html

can I use phpmyadmin to delete albums and files? If I delete albums and files with the Coppermine program they're still on the site (either in Albums or in .var). I've tried to delete with ftp client unsuccessfully, and I'm using more space than I'm allowed. Help!

You can only delete the database entries with phpMyAdmin, but the files will still reside on your webspace. Why don't you use the delete functions of Coppermine? They'll delete albums and files in your gallery and physically on your ftp server.
