"JFolder::create: Could not create directory" error - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello,

i quite new joomla. tested on free trail platform (cloudaccess) , transferred website permanent hosting.

the process of transferring bit difficult in end managed , site seemed working well. however, noticed problem joomgallery.

i tried create new pictures category , got error:
jfolder::create: not create directory
unable create folders.

as googled little bit discovered there should wrong directory write permissions couldn't determine permissions of directory causing problem. changed permissions of /tmp, /components, /modules, , /log 0755. problem still persists.

one other clue, showing there wrong directory permissions joomgallery, when click on joomgallery in components menu, under joomgallery news says "please make cache directory writeable".

i thankful if had same problem can share his/her experiences me.

thanks

hi
welcome joomla , these forums.

all directories should set 755.
all files should set 644.
also check joomgallery documentation make sure there not other "special" requirement extension.

this page tells file permissions how unix file permissions work?

if have either winscp or filezilla ftp clients access web server via ftp , open site_root/ directory wish change permissions within.

changing permissions filezilla (windows/linux/mac osx)

1. change directory permissions
   1. select joomla directories in top level of site_root/ directory (not files @ top level),
   2. right-click selected directories
      • click file permissions
   3. edit numeric value 755
   4. check recurse subdirectories
   5. check apply directories only
   6. click ok
2. change file permissions
   1. select joomla directories , files in top level of site_root/ directory
   2. right-click selected directories
      • click file permissions
   3. edit numeric value 644
   4. check recurse subdirectories
   5. check apply files only
   6. click ok

changing permissions using winscp (windows only)

• change permissions together
  1. select joomla directories , files in top level of site_root/ directory,
  2. right-click selected directories
     • click properties
     note:do not change group or owner values
  3. edit octal 0644
  4. check add x directories only (this adds execute value directories)
  5. check set group, owner, , permissions recursively
  6. click ok
