{SOLVED} What Directory is the Settings File In

[webgyrl]

Hello,

I am trying to use OzioGallery on a new site and I can not change the settings because it is giving me a message that says:
Settings file is not writeable!

Where is the settings file and what permissions should I set it to?

Thanks~

Hello Webgyrl,
you try to give the permission the file gallery.php = 755

Hello!

Unfortunately that does not work. I had the gallery.php set to 777. I can not change the Ozio Gallery - Settings. Is there another file that I might need to change.

The system info is:

System information

All follow fields must be green to component correctly works.
#    Folder/file    Permissions (CHMOD)
1    images/oziogallery    Writable
2    components/com_oziogallery/gallery.php    Writable
3    components/com_oziogallery/accordion.php    Writable
4    components/com_oziogallery/dfgallery.php    Writable
5    components/com_oziogallery/flashgallery.php    Writable
5    components/com_oziogallery/carousel.php    Writable

Any other file that it might be to control the Administration settings?

Thanks!

The your Photo to put inside the folder: images/oziogallery, while the permission the folder images could be 755, this can be different your hosting service. You contact your hosting service for  to know the permission folder..

Hello Milcon,

I have attached some screen shots for you to see the problem.

I have contacted my hoster and they say 777 is the correct permission. Gallery.php is set to 777. But still I can not change any settings in the Administration. As you can see it says "Settings file is not writeable!". There must be another file that controls the settings? Is it settings.ini? If so, where is this file in the Ozio folders??

Screenshots
This is a screenshot of the main page showing the permissions settings (writeable)


This is a screenshot showing that I try to select "Carousel" for the display


This is a screenshot after I try to Save... it will not allow me to change the gallery setting.


Please let me know if there is another file which controls settings. If it is the gallery.php file, you can see, it is writeable, therefore it should work and it is obviously not working. Let me know what else to try.

Will it help if I make a video for you of what I am doing so you can see? The gallery itself works, it's just I can't change any of the settings.

Thanks!

You try also the permission:

images= 755 and photo= 644
also:

images = 777 and photo= 666
also

images = 755 and photo = 755

images= 755 and photo= 644
also:

images = 777 and photo= 666
also

images = 755 and photo = 755
 

The actual photo permission = 644
The folder /images/oziogallery permission = 777

I do not understand how this affects the settings? The photos show fine:
link removed

That is not the problem.

I want to change the style of the gallery to carousel. I can not do this because the settings file permissions are wrong.

Where is the settings file?

Thanks!

Ciao webgyrl,
set writable  components/com_oziogallery/settings.php
and the folder  components/com_oziogallery

[webgyrl]

Ok I found it!

The settings.php file controls this. The permissions must be set there.

The file is in: /components/com_oziogallery
settings.php

It is working fine now.

Thanks!
