@koto137 – Although not ideal, those permissions should allow you to proceed without seeing that message … are your WordPress users using the same privileges as the the “owners” not the server?
It’s a very odd and rather rare situation but it has been reported once or twice that I recall where this was the issue.

Hey thanks for fasy reply.
I dont have any users created yet to my page, I’m connecting with master admin created with WordPress installation. I’m new to WordPress.
So not sure what you mean with “owners” not the server. I also tried to change chown -R of /var/www/html to apache / root etc no help
I’ve seen somewhere something about php_safe_mode ? could that be problem, only found this in php.ini
[SQL]
; http://php.net/sql.safe-mode
sql.safe_mode = Off
And everything is updated.. did yum update today
Same issue just now. Fresh download of the plugin. I 777’d wp-content, but it is still giving the same error message asking me to make my root directory writable. That is very unsafe. Any fix for this Photocrati?
@koto137 – What are you seeing under Gallery > Overview for your Server Settings?

This is my specific issue, exact same thing. No worries though, I ended up using a different option for my needs.

@AndyWarren – Please see http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post
@koto137 – Those settings look fine (I would prefer to see the upload limit higher but that should not be affecting write permissions). Have you tried going back to a baseline of a default WordPress Twenty series theme and only have NextGEN Gallery active?
Thanks!
– Cais.
‘Not ideal’
Well that’s an understatement, having to set the main web root to 777 to allow a gallery to be created in wp-content/gallery. Why is the plugin checking for write permissions on the root? It’d be much appreciated if you patched this and re-released so I can set the permissions back to 755 on the root, something is not right here.
@rabmcnab – If you are having issues with NextGEN Gallery then it is best to create your own topic so that we can try to help you resolve them.

Is there a solution to get this fixed? Having the same issue:
Map /home/user1/public_html/ is niet schrijfbaar !

@uaenip – you need to start your own thread too – as posted several times above.
