I keep getting a message saying it can't load images or thumbnails using the uploader because the file does not have write permissions but I can ftp my images to these two folders, images and imagethumbs.
Is there another way to create the pages and not use the uploader? I can create the images and thumbs of the right size in PS and upload them. It is all the other stuff that I am not sure of. Why does it not work?

I looked at my images folder and imagethumbs folder and the chr is 755. I change it to 777 and it says ok but it does not stick. I thought 755 was plenty of permission to allow the uploader to drop a picture into the folder.
I currently have a gallery that works but wanted to make another one in another location so I just copied the whole directory to a new location and renamed it for the web. It will not work. I do not know how I was able to get it to work the first time. Is the a routine that allows an application like uploader to work on the local machine and then just ftp the created contents to our server?Posted 5 months ago # -
One more intersting problem...I changed the config file to
<?php
//Define the folder where your photos will be placed on you server.
//Relative to the path you place the galery index.php
$gallerypath="../../images"; //EX. images or ../gallery/images no trailing slash needed
$thumbpath="imagethumbs"; //EX. images or ../gallery/images no trailing slash needed
$transitionspeed="500"; //How fast you want the animations to render
$fadespeed="300"; //How fast you want the photos to fade in and out
$users[]="wpatters1229"; //Username for accessing image uploader
$passw[]="chester1229"; //Password to access image uploader
?>I was testing it to see if not having an image folder at this location would create the same error. The uploader is not reading the path correctly...It acts like this whole application is really flaky. I used it once before and it worked fine. I just do not understand.

You can upload your images, using FTP to the images and thumbs folder and the gallery will work just fine. The uploader is for an easy way to upload them if you want.
Looking at your third post, where are you folders located relative to your gallery page? If you path is set wrong in the config.php file your gallery wont work. Do you have a link to your gallery?
