I am getting loads of these error messages in ERROR.LOG in the Gallery directory. It does not seem to be breaking anything but is it something I should worry about?

I checked this error with my hosting company. They said

"
It is the script and not the server John, I think the thing that will bring it to light is the fact that is is every few seconds

[25-Sep-2009 16:02:00] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mm_create(0, /session_mm_cgi651) failed, err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (Permission denied) in Unknown on line 0

I don't write the code of couse for the gfallery so I can't really comment, but this looks like a create error using cgi ?
could it be the program you are using inside the gallery i.e GD, image magic or alike

I would say you need to look at the settings inside the gallery and make sure that what you are using is supported by the server. "

Does anyone else have this issue?

John

The hosting people always point at "it's not our stuff". Well, when it's our stuff we look into it, I've looked into this all I can. This isn't our stuff :) It's something in how the server is setup or configured a version of PHP or Apache or something else plugged into either. I don't know what mm_create is, it's not any code in Gallery.
