Phoca Forum

Hi, I am redesigning a site, and am using phoca gallery as the new image gallery. The problem is that I can't write thumbnails on my localhost site (redesign) neither by using FTP (I can't access it that way) nor by changing the write permissions from within windows 7 (64-bit) -> I've changed the permissions to grant full control to all groups, but every time I change a folder from read-only, it remains read-only immediately afterward. This is very frustrating, since I have a lot of albums to convert to this new gallery, and a deadline to finish it ASAP, can anyone help me with my problem?

Hi,

Phoca Gallery does not access the files and folder on your server directly, it uses standard Joomla! JFile or JFolder method - mostly if there is a problem with writing files on the server, this is caused by server limits or by server settings. Joomla! tries to write the files with both possible methods (script and ftp) - in options of Phoca Gallery, you can try to test writing per "ob get clean" (getting ouput and writing output as file), but I think, this will not help. I think, this should be the question on webhosting operator or Joomla! forum ... But as written, Joomla! tries to use both possible methods, so I think, the permissions or ownership of the server files and folders needs to be checked Unfortunately nothing can be changed in Phoca Gallery as it uses external methods to write files on the server

Hi, I'd just like to inform everyone that I've managed to solve the problem. Win7 doesn't support too long filenames, which were there due to me using joomgallery beforehand (generic title). Since shortening the filenames of the image files, there were no more problems creating thumbnails.

Ok
