Hello,

I've got this problem. I've upgraded from 1.5.0 to 1.5.5 and everything works nicely. EXCEPT when I'm logged in as the administrator of the sajt and try to delte an album from the album viewer I only get a blank page (nothing in view source).
Then I tried to delete the albums manually. And a lot of diffrent stuff yet the album remains there..

How do I manually delete an album? And how do I get the album delete function to work.

Regardz,

Why didnt you upgrade to 1.5.7?
1.5.5 is outdated and contains known bugs.

Anyway. Please enable debug mode and then try the deletion again.
Post the output here.

The reason is that I upgraded 1 month ago.. And now the bugs are detected=)...

Where do I enable debug mode?

Well, 1.5.5 was released on 12.11.2006
The bugfix-release 1.5.5-pl2 was on 07.12.2006
And even 1.5.6 was released in April 2007

Anyway. :-)

FAQ: How do I put my Gallery into debug mode?

Oki.. the debug report (after klicking in the dropdown list Delete album):

Album.php::1708 -> Requested index [-1] out of bounds [2]. Gallery could not load the requested album item.

Thanks for the info. (and good to hear you have a more recent version)

Does this happen with EVERY album?

- what happens when you create a new album and try to delete that?
- what happens when you copy a album and delete that?

When I try to create a "new nested album" I get the follwing error message:

Quote:
Error: Could not open lock file (/home/sites/localhome/lokalt/events/album13/photos.dat.lock) for writing!

Yet a new album appears afterwards...
If I create even more new "new nested albums"
I get the following response:

Quote:
Error: Could not open lock file (/home/sites/localhome/lokalt/events/album14/photos.dat.lock) for writing!

The dirs apears in the directory tree. Containing no files.

Quote:
dev events # cd album14
dev album14 # ls -la
total 16
drw-rw---- 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 27 15:52 .
drwxrwxrwx 540 apache apache 12288 Aug 27 15:52 ..
dev album14 #

Thanks for the help!

no "x" for the album folder?

This is a filesystem permission issue. Gallery can not write to certain files and thus fails on some operations.

If I make a regular script like:

Quote:
$val=rand(0,100);
echo "/home/sites/localhome/lokalt/events/TEEEST".$val."/ is created";
mkdir("/home/sites/localhome/lokalt/events/TEEEST".$val);

I get a dir with the X flag set.. Where is the settings for how the dirs are created???

Thank you Tim_j for all of the help.... You rock!

This is called "umask" and should be somewhere in your Apache configuration.

But I get the X flag from another script? It should be set?

umask for the apache webserver is not related to umask for other users.

We do that already. But it seems your apache is overriding that.

Okay, found the bug.
The problem is in php with the umask ... It need to be set to 0 in php before a directory is created.

Now to only problem I have is to delete the albums that are created in the my albums dirs...
Can I do that manualy fron shell somehow?

Did you find a solution? Could you provide the fix for the umask problem?

Thanks!
