I have looked through the forums, and I understand that this has been discussed, but I can't seem to find a work-around for it, and the one suggested fix (the ftp path) isn't working for me, and every path I try except '/' gives me a cannot find path error.  '/' seems to be the only one that finds the path.

When I installed Easy Gallery, I uploaded a test image into a category, and everything seemed to work fine.  In fact, if I create a category and upload one or a whole .zip file, there is no issue with getting the pictures there.  It is only after I want to add a picture do I have a problem.  When I try to add a picture to an existing category, I get a file already found when it tries to do a mkdir on line 92 in the FTP classes directory.  This is the point where you're checking to see if the directory exists.

I have even tried to use the path in the error description, which would be /home/hgreat26/public_html and so on, and took that path and chopped it down by taking the first directory off all the way down to just a '/', and at each step, it couldn't find the path until I got back down to '/'.  And all the permissions on those directories are 777.

Any suggestions, or is there perhaps a code fix for the directory check?  I would hate to go in and manually take the database entries out, delete the directories, and so on, just to upload one file (since I only get one shot at a category at the moment and would have to do it all at one time).  Then it doesn't become Easy Gallery anymore  .

Anyway, thanks, and kudos to you for the other modules in the Easy line.  I run a web design company, and when I am installing Joomla, these are some of my "base" components.  First time I have tried to use Easy Gallery though, and the first problem I have had with your stuff.

As Always,

just another newbie who has read all you have written on this (including the FAQ) and tried everything over the last 5 days but still cant upload more than one photo...   your demo looks great so i really want to replicate it... is there hope on the horizon?  by the way what do you use to get your rollover info texts??
best wishes

Same problem here, first upload wents smooth, but any additional uploads to same category fails. Error message points to ftp.php, line 92. Seems to be that the check of existing category folder fails and php tries to create a folder that already exists.

This is what EasyGallery responds after trying to add new image(s) to existing gallery.

I also tested all (?) possible variations of paths in the ftp configuration of EG -> same results.

Hope this helps to figure out what goes wrong.

I also noticed that loading a zip file to gallery..only the first image is loaded, next image gives the same error (well, without looking into code, it is almost the same as loading two images independently one after another. Both upload methods give same result)

Jup, will have a look at it again.
For now, make sure /images/stories/easygallery and all subdirectories are writable to php and disabled the ftp layer in the configuration if you run into this issue.

I disabled the FTP in config and now I get:


Warning: copy(/home/kotikosk/public_html/joomla//images/stories/easygallery/7/1168347199_kuva5.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kotikosk/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_easygallery/classes/photos.php on line 566

When I go in with FTP client (Filezilla) it shows the root as "publiuc_html". Joomla is installed under www (public_html is symbolic link to www).

I've tried all possible combination of paths, no luck. File/folder permissions looks to be ok.

Just a question..

Still no luck..image files are owned by "nobody" according to JoomlaXplorer and have -rw-r--r-- permissions. The upload stores only the 1. image file. After manually changing the permission, EG loads next image and so on..
