MoonFaery Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I swear I keep running into problems with my gallery... I now get this error: Warning: fopen(/home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/albumdb.dat.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/moonlit/public_html/photos/platform/fs_unix.php on line 55 Error: Could not open lock file (/home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/albumdb.dat.lock)! And can no longer create new albums. Argh! Does anyone use Coppermine? Is it recommended? I am using the gallery that you can get at sourceforge.net. Quote
borfast Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Angela, that's a permissions problem, quite easy to solve, don't worry You'll have to check one thing first: does that file (/home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/albumdb.dat.lock) already exist or is it being created by Coppermine? If it does not exist, you'll have to change the permissions of the /home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/ directory to 777. If the file already exists, then you need to change the file permissions to 666. Let us know if it works out Quote
MoonFaery Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Thank you so much Raul!!! It works now Rock Sign Quote
matman Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 My Gallery suddenly started doing this yesterday as well. I figured out the solution you recommended, but manually changing the permissions on all those files is going to be a headache! What could have caused all the permissions to be re-set on my dozens of gallery album directories, scattered across two different sites on my reseller account, no less! Mad!!! Quote
TCH-Rick Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 This is related to the problem you IMed me about with the accounts. There were a lot of files that were owned by nobody causing the problem with the quota report problems. All files were changed to be owned by your user name. Gallery is very picky about any changes at all so it returns the error. I have seen it every tim php changes as well. If you have any problems drop a Help Desk ticket and we can easily change the permissions to 777 on your album folders to correct the problem. I have done so with your domain and the gallery is not showing errors. Quote
matman Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Awesome, I'll send a helpdesk ticket to get the same thing done for the other domain having the same problem. Quote
MoonFaery Posted August 12, 2004 Author Posted August 12, 2004 So I take it if I submit a trouble ticket, that should help? It is weird, the permissions are set and when I first go into the album(s), it shows the error, but when I refresh it goes away. Quote
MoonFaery Posted August 14, 2004 Author Posted August 14, 2004 Also, when I am uploading the pictures, when it is giving the information on resizing and such: Warning: fopen(/home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/trinity/album.dat.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/moonlit/public_html/photos/platform/fs_unix.php on line 55 Error: Could not open lock file (/home/moonlit/public_html/photos/albums/trinity/album.dat.lock)!

TCH-Bruce Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 As TCH-Rick states above: If you have any problems drop a Help Desk ticket and we can easily change the permissions to 777 on your album folders to correct the problem.

matman Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 Yeah, but I think she was saying that the permissions ARE set correctly. Quote
MoonFaery Posted August 15, 2004 Author Posted August 15, 2004 I have the album folders correct at 777, but it is saying something about my album.dat.lock file not being the correct permissions. Does anyone know what it should be? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Not sure what it should be but setting it to 666 would allow anyone to overwrite it. Quote
TCH-Rick Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Send me a PM with a link to the page giving the error and I can have a look and see what the problem is. Quote
