I keep getting this error when creating albums, I checked the folders permissions and they are correct.
"This album's directory couldn't be properly created, please make sure mgal_data/ and mgal_data/albums/ are chmodded to 0777 or 0755."
MrPhil:
Well, what is "correct"? For SMF to write to a directory (folder), the correct permissions will depend on how your server is set up. They might be 755, 775, 777, or even something else.

I can change those permissions through FTP
MrPhil:
Note that many hosts have their servers configured to silently ignore permission changes through FTP. Double check that you actually are changing permissions. If not, use your host's control panel > file manager to change them.
Always start with 755. If SMF/Aeva tells you it can't write to the folder, try 775. As a last resort, 777 (and see if you can change back to 755 when you're done uploading). If none of that works, you'll have to ask your host for suggestions.
