Can't upload images or add albums to Gallery app

[lwhaney]

I'm at wits' end. I've searched this forum and gallery with no love on finding the solution. I can't seem to upload any pics or create albums through the local server, upload applet, etc. I've tried several suggestions including changing the permissions through the gallery2/lib/support. I even deleted and reinstalled the web-app several times. At one point, I made enough changes to where I didn't get any error messages and thought it uploaded, but it still didn't display any pics.

I just opened up the gallery2/html/ to 777 out of frustration thinking it was a permissions problem. This is the debug statement that I got.

Error (ERROR_COLLISION) : mkdir failed for /var/hda/web-apps/gallery2/html/g2data/albums/temp

I've seen the ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE a few times over the past 7 days.

I could really use your help here.

Thanks in advance!

See my update in the above bug.

As root, you need to create 3 directories, and you'll be good to go.

This issue has been fixed. Not sure why they were not created, but added the code to the install script.

Thanks for pointing out the issue.
