Hello all, I'm hoping this is the right place for this and that someone may be able to help me.
I have a Coppermine Gallery that users to my phpbb use, located at http://www.panamintcharlie.com/gallery/ users began notifying me that on or around August 11th they could no longer upload to their respective gallery albums. After the "successful download" window, when a user then picks a album to publish to, a error pops up saying Destination directory albums/userpics/#####/ is not writable by the script !
#####=users # in the directory.
However, any users, or my test users that made new accounts after the 11th have no problems with any gallery functionality.
I have very limited knowledge of how any of these programs work. I figured it had to be that the users permissions somehow got changed in my file manager.
Upon looking at all users in the file manager I found that all my users prior to the 11th of August had there permissions locked at 755. By locked, I mean, I can't even change them. when I try , I get an error that states "a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]"
My new user's permissions are set at 777 and I am able to change the permissions as I please.
A Google search came up with others that had the same problems in the past but I was never given any clues on what the problem was or how to fix it. One reply seemed to point to a change on a host server. Was anything done to my server around the 11th of August?
Thanks in advance and keep up the fine work,
Charles
