Unable to write to directory WINABSPATHwp-content/gallery/march-2014-…

Which type of hosting are you on, if you know? Linux or Windows.

I’m seeing a couple of cases with this and I’m not sure why or what could have caused it.

From the looks of the NGG core plugin, we have this:

nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/nggallery.php
208: define(‘WINABSPATH’, str_replace(“\\”, “/”, ABSPATH) );

It appears that perhaps the constant isn’t being interpreted as an actual file path, and just a word.

I am also unable to write directory: I get this when I try to upload pictures:

Warning: opendir(WINABSPATHwp-content/gallery/sdm-club-photos): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/sdmadmin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/admin/functions.php on line 138

Unable to write to directory WINABSPATHwp-content/gallery/sdm-club-photos. Is this directory writable by the server?

I am using a windows based WordPress vs. 3.8.1

I’m getting the error on a Linux system.

What version of NextGEN Gallery are all of you running? I’m starting to bet it’s coming from that, because for whatever reason the WINABSPATH constant isn’t being interpreted any more.

NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati Version 2.0.57

I’ll try and check on this a bit later this evening with that version of NGG.

David, do you think you could test this copy and see if it resolves the issue?

I checked NextGen’s changelog for the 2.0.57 and as anticipated, they removed the WINABSPATH constant, so I did what I saw them do in cases, and renamed our uses to ABSPATH. Hoping this fixes it, and if it does, I’ll push out the fix to everyone.

Forgot to mention that it won’t hurt to back up your current copy of our public uploader just in case, but it’s also always re-downloadable if that’s the situation, and the values in the db shouldn’t be deleted. regardless.

I am also using NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati Version 2.0.57. I will download and try the update. I will report back.

Problem Fixed!! Thanks Michael!

I have the same problem.

Does this mean there’ll be an update shortly, or is the version you have posted here a public release?

I tried the download and it works although I’m seeing some error messages on the page with the uploader:
test.gifis not a valid file.

test.gifis not a valid file.

test.gifis not a valid file.

These messages are printed at the top of the page, above the uploaders. (I have four instances of the uploader on the page, to upload to four different galleries.)

I also get the messages “No file chosen” together with the message “Your image has been successfully uploaded.” See screenshot.

I got the same error message, sorry posted my topic before I saw this one. Will there be an update shortly to fix this issue?

I noticed that there was a new version of the uploader available in my Plugins dashboard today so I upgraded (Version 1.8.2). However, I still get those same error messages as reported yesterday. Any plans to get that fixed?
