Hello,

first, please let me say thank you for developping this great software! G2 was very complex, big, G3 really indeed has impressed me with its easy, intuitive approach. Thanks!

now, i know this subject has been discussed several times already and i read all those topics. none of them seemed to answer my question.

i installed G3 on my server, as instructed i created a var-directory with CHMOD 777.

now, already after installation, one can't add pictures or sub-albums, since all the folders inside var/ only have CHMOD 755.
after manually setting CHMOD 777 to every folder, i could upload pictures to the root directory but after creating a sub-album again of course i wasn't able to upload ("unable to process this file") anything into this sub-album since it was only CHMOD 755.

it seems, G3 can't set CHMOD 777 for newly created folders on my webhost.

certainly it is a problem of my webhost, but i think you should look into it since other software like wordpress can do it without any problems.

attached are the logs and my .htaccess file

thanks for any help!

cheers, phil

Hrm. Sounds like your host has the umask set wrong.

Can you verify that this is the issue?

thanks for your answer, bharat.

so i checked with my webhost. he said, i had to switch to FastCGI, they then changed it and now it works all fine.

so it seems it all was just a problem with my webhost.

thanks for the help, problem solved!
