    I'm having an issue with Gallery. In the Gallery manager interface, when I create a new album and try to upload an image, gallery does not create a folder for the image to go into, so the upload fails and I'm left with a missing image icon.

    If I create the folder number manually, the image uploads, but PHPThumb still fails to create the thumbnail.

    I get a php error saying that the /assets/components/gallery/connector.php file aborted.

    Has anybody run into this problem? I've tried just about everything I can think of to fix this. I checked my file permissions and system settings. I don't know what's causing this.

    I'm using Revo 2.2.12 and Gallery 1.6.1.

      Could you tell us more about your server configuration? It sounds like you have a permission problem.

        I don't know much about the server because I have very limited access to it. I did not install ModX, but it seems that new folder permissions are setup as 0755.

        After a re-install, I can get it to work if I manually create the folder /assets/gallery/1 and set the permissions to 0777. However, it will not work if I create that folder in /assets/components/gallery/images/1 (and change the settings to reflect this) and Gallery still will not create the folder when I create an album.

        I did try to recreate this issue on my local server, but did not run into any problems. When I install ModX locally and change the folder permissions to 0755, it works fine.

          Could you share who the hosting company is, perhaps another user has experience with them?
