DgoldI need help with one of my favorite plugins, Image Headlines 2.8 by Coldforged. As you know he no longer supports it but it is popular and works in WP 2.0, 2.1.
My problem is: even after chmod'ing the cache folder to 777, I still get ERROR saying the folder isn't writeable - Why? How can I get around this? What could be wrong?
FATAL: The directory you specified to cache the image files is not writeable from the Apache task. Either select a different directory or make the directory you specified writable by the Apache task (chmod 755 the directory).
The plugin advises 755 for the cache. Users in other threads reported that some Host configurations require 777. (There's another thread about security if you must use 777). I tried both 755 and 777.
I'm moving servers. On the old server, Image Headlines Plugin worked perfectly & I love it so much, my site design depends on it. I need to get it working for 2 blogs on the new server. Both servers are at the same Host, but totally different servers. The new server has a higher version of PHP, which is why I'm moving.
- On my old server (Ensim) the path that worked was:
/var/www/radio/wp-content/headline-cache/ - On the new server (cPanel) the path should be:
/www/radio/wp-content/headline-cache/ - It gives the error message
Error: The Folder [/www/radio/wp-content/headline-cache] is not writeable.
In summary, do you think my problem lies with:
I'm using the wrong path?
I've tried trailing-slash, no trailing slash, etc.
I need to mess with chmod, or htaccess?
I need to erase the plugin and reinstall it?
I messed something up in moving files or database from 1 server to the other?
Other things to try?
I haven't upgraded WP yet, it's the same WP that was working with this plugin on the old server. I've spent 3 hours flipping the same options around and nothing works, I'm perplexed & I really want this plugin working again!
