Hi,<br /><br />I have an account with totalchoicehosting and I'm trying to write a php photo gallery.<br /><br />I want to let the site members to create their galleries by uploading their pictures in a folder named after their account name (<img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />). So the problem is to create a new folder through script and give write permissions for this folder. I tried to use <b>chmod</b> for changing the permissions, but I'm getting this error:<br /><br /><b>Warning</b>: chmod(): Operation not permitted in <b>/home/.../public_html/image.php</b> on line <b>...</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is the first problem (dynamically setting permission for a new folder).<br /><br />Another problem: I wrote an upload module and I'm getting this error this time:<br /><br />Warning: mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images): Permission denied in /home/.../public_html/test.php on line 99<br />Error: Directory does not exist and was unable to be created.<br /><br />even I changed permissions for the folder.<br /><br />Thanks for your responses.<!--content-->
Why not try one of the already made galleries like ht*p://coppermine.sourceforge.net/ or ht*p://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index to name a few? <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
Even if I'm gonna use a free php module I will not get it working; because the problem seems to be the permissions on the uploading folder.<!--content-->
Are you usinf cpanels file manager?<br />I have had mixed results with it<br />and now just use an ftp program to change permissions.<!--content-->
