Cant create temp directory error was created by David Payer
I have an error that I see others had (I did search the forum) regarding temp directorys.

Here is the error:
Error: "Simple Image Gallery Pro" could not create the required "temp" folder (used for thumbnail storage). Please create this folder manually and set its permissions (chmod) to 644 or 777. Thank you.

this error occurs at the top of every page in the site.

I have created and recreated this folder numerous times (and methods: via ftp/media manager/ssh ). I have chmod ed it as well to 777. I have chowned it to be that of the website, then that of the webserver and nothing seems to solve the issue.

In the config section, I put in the full path (from the root) for the gallery folder and the same for the temp folder. Is this appropriate? It doesn't seem to work if I only give it from the root of the site itself (I get an error that it cant read that type of file, if I do).

I am using the J1.5 plugin on a RocketTheme based template.

Anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi my friend!

In the config section you have to set the paths in relative mode, as was in the begin!

About the problem of the folder try to create a new folder with a different name, as temp2 or as you want, and change the path in the config section. It's a strange method but is reported me that could be help!

If you hardlinking the thumbs in the folder, the server return any error?

Can you give me a direct link to the gallery?

Thank you!

Thanks. The defaults that are put in the field include a slash at the end and that is what doesn't work. The slash before the field appears to be needed otherwise I get an error (file type not supported).

I no longer get the error I posted above but I don't get a gallery either. I get nothing. It is in a document here: yfwpjoomla.iowalink.com/index.php/component/content/article/24-conferences/69-mepi-2008-march

I have tried using the default folders inside the /images/ folders for testing, nothing happens.  I must have a config issue somehow.

here is a file in the gallery: yfwpjoomla.iowalink.com/media/gallery/MEPI2008March/DSC_4918.JPG

root is set as /media/gallery
temp is set as /media/gallery/temp
page code is {gallery}MEPI2008March{/gallery}

I put a file in the temp folder by ftp:
yfwpjoomla.iowalink.com/media/gallery/temp/DSC_8599.JPG

Ideas for me?

Hi my friend!

Hmmm... You set as relative root ( etc ) path the : /media/gallery
This path is under www.iowalink.com or under yfwpjoomla.iowalink.com?
I mean, the yfwpjoomla is a subfolder of the iowalink.com before the media folder?

If you remove the SEF from the system, the plugin seems to work?

Sorry for all this questions but I try to understand what could be happened!


Thank you!
