NextGen Gallery: Can’t clear directory not writeable with 777

  • I’ve installed NextGen Gallery and created the directory /wp-content/gallery/. Following instructions in the forum, I set permissions for that directory to 777, but I’m still getting the “directory not writeable” error when I try to add a new gallery.

    Any clues?

    I’m having a similar issue. Are you also prompted by wordpress to add in ftp information when updating a plugin? I think it’s something related to the apache account running your hosting package. As a security protocol to restrict apache from making changes to the filesystem. If you can gain shell access you can chown the apache user access… but I dont have this access on a certain hosting account – so not sure if this is really the case or not… or how to solve it, any other ideas out there?
