CHMOD data directory
Submitted by alexV on Sun, 2006-11-26 01:19.
I have just installed phpalbum
i have phpdev running.
I created a 'data' directory, but got a message saying "Your data directory data/ is eather not existing or not writable
Please check for existing of this directory and setup the access rights with CHMOD 777"
i have ftp surfer, do i use that to set the permissions of the data directory?
how do i ftp to localhost?
thanks
Alex
I never tried out phpdev,
I never tried out phpdev, but i see you are using windows. There you can not use chmod. But i do not know what kind of windows you are using. The user under which php is running has to have write rights to the data and a cache directory.
i have this problem 2
i have this problem 2 ..
Your data directory data/ is eather not existing or not writable.... how can i fix this .. pls help mePlease check for existing of this directory and setup the access rights with CHMOD 777
I am having this problem as well.
I believe my host (CrystalTech) runs Windows servers so I can't chmod 777 the data directory. Is there a way around this? The directory is created, and I can read the arial.tff file from the root phpalbum/ directory. I can't get into any setup screens at all. I jsut get this message over and over again:
Welcome to phpAlbum_0.3.2.6
Your data directory data_ef0b79d1/ is eather not existing or not writable
Please check for existing of this directory and setup the access rights with CHMOD 777
What can I do?
Thank you.
Same with me...
I have the same problem too...
I'm not good at this but, how do i make the directories 'writable'?
"phpAlbum needs two writable directories, the data_xyz34jk/ and the cache_xyz34jk/. Create these in your phpAlbum directory on web server and change the attributes so that the web server user under which is php running can write to these directories. Usually you need to change CHMOD to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)."
I don't really understand this..
If possible, give me step-by-step instructions to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help! :)
Assuming you are installing
Assuming you are installing phpAlbum on your webserver, not locally but remote by your provider. You usually use ftp software tu upload the files to your webserver.
With this ftp client you can change file and directory attributes, if you prefer access rights.
777 means every user can write read and access the directory.
You should probably right click on that directory in ftp client, choose some menu like "change attributes" or "chmod" or something similiar and click every thing you find there (read write execute = r w x ... for each group). You can be then sure that your php user can write that directory.
change data chmod
i did that and still am at the same menu as before
Your data directory data_b3a0b6c4/ is not writable
Please change the rights on this directory so php can write in it. (UNIX: CHMOD 777, WINDOWS: setup rights)
