(I tried a search for the error message I got, but I didn't see anything useful...)

Upon first logging into my Gallery installation, and then when trying to add pictures (via the Form), I get this error

"Error Could not open lock file (/var/www/html/gallery/albums/china/photos.dat.lock)!"

That file exists, with rw-r--r-- permissions, but is 0 bytes. Do I need to change the permissions on it? Should it not be empty?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you -- I had thought it wasn't the same issue because my error message was different.

Well, it's related anyway. :)
