Happening consistently with latest CVS contents. Am trying to add the first sub-album to the top level. Adding an item gets a similar error.

Error (ERROR_LOCK_TIMEOUT)

* in modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryLockHelper_medium.class at line 424 (gallerystatus::error)
* in modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryLockHelper_medium.class at line 57 (gallerylockhelper_medium::_acquirelock)

Is it possible that your g2data directory is on an NFS mounted filesystem? We're trying to use flock() and that won't work properly on NFS :-( This problem is next on my list of issues to resolve...

I've asked my host and you are correct, my filesystem is mounted on NFS (at least for the time being).

Thanks for the swift reply bharat. If this is resolved any time soon a reply here would be fantastic :D

Same error here, even trying something simple like changing the title of the top-level album. Just including this info in case it helps.

I just committed some code to allow you to choose which type of locking you use, on the Site Admin -> General page. Get a nightly snapshot and try switching to database locking and see if that fixes the problem for you.

I can confirm that, for me at least, switching to database locking has fixed the problem. Thanks!
