Topic: ERROR: Line 7131

[apnews]

I was trying to install album.pl to my web server (unix).  However, it always have the below error when I click "Apply" .  Can you please help me?

ERROR: Line 7131
Cannot open temp file for writing: album.cfg.29595
You probably need to make the directory world writable (chmod 777 for unix).

Hi apnews,

This one is actually pretty easy. There are 3 ways to get around it:

1. Make your cgi-bin directory writable to the web server. A mode of 777 (chmod 777) is guaranteed to do the trick, but may be a little permissive for your blood.

2. Edit album.cfg directly to configure your album.

3. Move album.cfg to a new (mode 777) directory, and update the config file location at the top of album.pl.

It's really a matter of personal taste. I almost never use the Configuration Management UI, but I think that's because I forget it's there...
