Topic Title: photos.dat.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied

New to Gallery & php, please forgive my ignorance. I searched the forum and faq but did not find this error . . .

I installed the Random Photo block today and am now getting the following error at the top of the page upon viewing images in any of the albums:



Also upon trying to change permissions on an album, I get the following:



I am using Gallery v1.4-pl1 .


Any assistance is appreciated!

try this [menalto.com]

try this?

I am having this problem, was disappointed not to see a solution after the words "try this".

I'll keep searching. If anyone knows the solutions. please fill me in.

click the word "this"

Ah. Did not realize that "this" was a link.
Found that info anyways during my searching. It would appear that when cPanel did its automatic update, it decided to change permissions on some of the directories. Not 100% sure if that is what happened, but it did seem to happen right after the update. Hate it when that happens. That I had changed it to manual updates.
Oh, well.
Thanks for clarifying the link.
