 * hi. as I have the same problem as in the thread´s title, I hope it´s ok to post
   here…
 * newest WP and NG releases, freshly installed,
    my server´s on safe mode, so I
   created all folders and thumbs tholders manually, as my NextGen plugin told me,
   they are on the server, set to 777, but still Next Gen ignores them.
 * I get this:
    _“The server setting Safe-Mode is on ! If you have problems, please
   create directory wp-content/gallery/moebelbau and the thumbnails directory wp-
   content/gallery/xy/thumbs with permission 777 manually Unable to create directory
   wp-content/gallery/xy/thumbs !” but I did ! honestly ! 🙁
 * server settings are these:

 * I´m so unhappy, I need some damned galleries, really !
    I already tried lazyest
   gallery which at least worked somewhat, but why did that work with the safe mode
   on and NG doesn´t ?!
 * any tip is appreciated, and – if I can´t get NG to work – could someone please
   tell me how to use that built-in gallery with the [gallery] shortcode ? When 
   I click Gallery it always takes me to the NG Gallery page and then problems…to
   upload images from out of a post doesn´t work, neither flash nor browser upload.
   can I manually create a folder and ftp-upload images and then use them with the[
   gallery] ? how must I name the gallery then? or does that only work if I deactivate
   NextGen ?
    *clueless* thanks for any help…
