Run chmod on the .users directory, which a "*" will not match.
E.g.
cd /my/albums/directory
chmod -R 0777 .users

Thanks for replying mate... but didn't seem to do the trick
A ls -l of the files
Am I locked out because the owner is 'apache' ??

Now that I look at the error, it seems like it's not a permission issue
I don't really know what would cause an Invalid argument error... Does anyone else have any ideas?

A bit more info
Thinking it may well be the 'apache' problem, i thought't I'd FTP the files back here, delete them from the remote server, then FTp them back. Sure enough, this cleared the 'apache' entries on the three files. I then duly chmod -R -v 777 .users and they all returned fine rwxrwxrwx. Great I thought. Went through the /setup pages again, and got the same error as before. Of course, it had created a new userdb.dat file and a .bak of the old one... ;o(
so now I have
Thanks for persevering...

As I said in my last post, this is probably not a permission issue.
It's fine to have the files owned by "apache", because the web server is the one who is trying to write to it.

just to be sure: the directory /home/nas03/f/forums.norfolkmustard.co.uk/user/htdocs/photos/.users/ does exist?

yep http://forums.norfolkmustard.co.uk/photos/.users/
gallery created the folder, and successfully created .htaccess, userdb.dat and userdb.dat.lock in it.
you can play around with http://forums.norfolkmustard.co.uk/setup/ if you like, there's no files there yet... without getting past this problem I can't login through the front-end to upload photos anyway :wink:

so if you type ls /home/nas03/f/forums.norfolkmustard.co.uk/user/htdocs/photos/.users/ at a shell prompt, you see the files?
Have you tried "rm -r .users" and then re-run the configuration script? You never know, it might fix it.

joan,
Also deleted the folder as you suggested, no joy I'm afraid... Is there anything you think I should be asking my hosting company?
Cheers

I'm stumped.

If you can give me a shell login/password (PM or email it to me) I'll go in and try a bunch of things. If this is just a permissions problem, it should be easy to fix. But it doesn't seem that way. I'd be inclined to move the old albums directory, create a brand new one, and copy over the albums.

Hi okay. Thanks for the login info.
I have some unfortunate news:
Your host has disabled certain PHP functions such as exec() and passthru() which are vital for Gallery to run. It needs these commands to execute various external programs. It's very likely that the fopen() error is a side-effect of this as well.
You'll either need to ask your host to re-enable these functions, or Gallery will not be able to run on this host.

I think I may have an answer for what's going on here since I had the same problem and managed to fix it. Is your host running unix of some kind for the hosting box but using a Windows NAS box over NFS for disk storage? Judging by your path (/home/nas02/...) this could very well be the case.
The problem is the colon in the filename (1052930061:1484966764.lock) which is fine under unix but the Windows box chokes on it. I fixed it on my end by reg_replace()ing all the colons to dashes in every file related command in platform/fs_unix.php.
You may also have a problem with renaming albums if you get past this one, but I haven't got a solution for that one. Luckily it means you're just stuck with "album??" as the internal album name. I haven't found any other problems yet.
