    I just installed plogger. Everything seams to be ok. I logged into the admin interface and created some collection without a problem ... but when I try to create an album within a collection I get an error. Could not create directory !
    The image directory is set to 777. Within this directory I can create as many collections as I want ... but no albums :-(

    Check to see what the permissions of each Collection folder is.

    Sounds like the infamous safe_mode bug. Check to see if PHP is in safe_mode, and possibly ask your ISP to turn it off for you. Unfortunately, Plogger currently doesn't work with safe mode.

    I checked the permissions of the collection folders created by plogger. They are all 755... Shoulden't it be 777? I'm not able to change the permissions via ftp. I think the folders created by plogger have a different owner than the files I uploaded via ftp.
    I looked a litte bit into the php-scripts and the permissions should be set to 0777 by the script.
    Later in the evening, I will check if php is running in safe_mode ... but could that realy be the prob? If it is ... why am I able to create the collection? ... shoulden't that operation fail in safe_mode, too?

    mike you're right. It was the safe_mode ;-) But strage the I could create on the images level folder and then not in these folders. Now it is time to upload some pics *FG*

    I think the error stems from the fact that Plogger is trying to create a directory on your web server (which is limited by safe_mode). The strange part is that it will allow you to create a directory by making a collection, but it won't allow you to create a subfolder within that newly created folder (by creating an album).

    I have the same problem and my host refuses to turn off the safe_mode. They will try to help me letting it work on safe_mode.

    Is there a way to create an album manually??

    The only reason it is being denied in safe_mode is because PHP will not allow the script to create a directory. I haven't tested this, but you may be able to create a directory manually through FTP and then create the corresponding album in Plogger.

    The directory structure is http://www.yoursite.com/plogger/images/collection-name/album-name/

    All lower-case for the folder names.
