Hi
I installed fresh2.0 Gallery fine and played w/ it and got no problem at all . When i changed my photos album (outside of home directory , /home/album) from 777 to 755 then went to my photo url to see photos (www.mydomain/photos). I got an error. So i went back and changed my photos album from 755 to 777 immediately but i stil got the following error when accessing my photos url.
Thanks for any help

- did you change this 777->755 in the site admin view or manually in the filesystem without G2?
- you may try this to fix your problem: browse to gallery/lib/tools/test/
hit FlushTemplate and FlushCache, maybe that fixes the problem.
- do you use G2 beta 1 or a current cvs version or is it older?

Hi valiant
i used the 2.0 Beta 1. I went to the server admin and manually change from 777 to 755 (not in gallery admin). I got error then changed it back to 755, still got error.
I followed your instruction. i went to www.mydomain/gallery2/lib/tools/test
Enter my password then i got the following error (and when i went back to mydomain/gallery2/lib/tools/test i couldn't enter my password). /secure_photos is the one i manually changed from 777 to 755. It locates outside of home directory).

thanks

can you check the owner and permissions of g2data, g2data/smarty and g2data/smarty/templates_c and post them here?

you provided only the permissions not the owner. who's the owner of these dirs?

if you don't know how to get this information...

ls -la in the shell if you have shell access
or make a php script
<?php
exec('ls -la /home/thanhsin/secure_photos/*', $ret);
foreach ($ret as $val) print $ret.'<br>';
?>

also check that every directory up to your g2data dir has an odd last permission (ie if any has 750 or 754 then this could also cause this error)

I had a similar problem. in beta 1, just after finishing the install and entering gallery...

it seemed gallery failed to create the dir g2data/smarty and g2/data/smarty/templates_c

I created them manuall it starts properly

seems that then it failed to create the g2data/sessions/ directory as well, i couldnt log in!

i created them by hand and it is fine...
the whole dir is owned by www-data, so i dont see why it shouldnt be able to create the dir's. Is there an issue with gallery or a restriction in php about creating dir's? it managed to make the cache/ and thumbnails/ dir just fine !?!

i feel like im spamming the board now.

It seems to happen every time gallery needs to create a dir:

Warning: fopen(/home/g2data/locks/0/6/6): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryPlatform.class on line 341

Ok, it works now.

I re-ran the setup without deleting the g2data dir or dropping the database, and this time it has successfully created all the subdirectories (i think)

darkknight, G2 tries to make new directories quite often. So it will probably bomb again on you. However, I think you've got a different issue than the original topic poster so if this does recur, please post it in a new topic and we'll help you sort it out.
