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:

Quote: › Warning: fopen(/home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/albums/album12/photos.dat.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 55
Error: Could not open lock file (/home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/albums/album12/photos.dat.lock)!

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

Quote: › Warning: fopen(/home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/albums/Spain-and-Portugal-Vacation-August-2003/photos.dat.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 55
Error: Could not open lock file (/home/rypworks/public_html/prindiville/modules/gallery/albums/Spain-and-Portugal-Vacation-August-2003/photos.dat.lock)!

I am using Gallery v1.4-pl1 .

Any assistance is appreciated!

Ah. Did not realize that "this" was a link. Embarassed

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.

bringing up an old thread, hope that's ok.

having this issue after updating through cpanel as well...

tried the link, but it sends me to gallery's main page.

error:
Warning: fopen(/home/fur/public_html/gallery/albums/albumdb.dat.0) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/fur/public_html/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 55

the config wizard and got rid of a few
errors... still can't log in with ff, but
hopefully after i clear my cache it
will be ok.
