NextGEN gallery and permissions

  • Hi,
    I have wordpress 2.2.3 installation on my Mac. I installed the NextGen plug-in last night, and when I tried to create a folder for the gallery, I received a message saying I need to have permission for this action (777). I have no idea how to do it if the site is on my computer. I do, however, know how to do it on a remote site. My first question is, how come I don’t have enough permissions to create a folder on my computer, as an admin? And 2. How do I solve this?
    Thanks

  • Hi, First off is the site install within the “sites” folder of your current logged in user? If so then go to the folder that the gallery folder will be made in and check it’s ownership permissions by selecting the folder then going to file–>Get info and opening the bottom area for ownership and permissions. Make sure it has read and write access for owner. You may need to change it to that for Group and other also.

    Thanks. I resolved the issue using the command line. Gave the folder the right permissions.
