Hi,

I am hoping someone with programming experience can offer a non-programmer some assistance with this problem. It seems to me to be a Drupal core problem...so I hope that I am in the right place.

I have previously submitted this issue to another forum in relation to a specific module (but I have encountered this problem generally and previously).

I am (in seemingly random circumstances), unable to create directories, select directories for upload, and I am too often told that directories don't exist when they do.

I would like to fix this problem so that I can re-install the following modules which I have removed since the problem got worse:

image.module; video.module; video_bonus.module (including panels.module).

I include the following to offer a contextual scenario including relevant 'Warning/Error' messages, to assist with diagnosis.

It is worth noting, that most of the trouble seems to centre around a directory called '.../files/' and its sub-directories; specifically 'images', '1' and '2' (directories 1 and 2 were placed by Gallery2). I can do nothing with these directories. Changing Permissions, Names, or attempting to Delete these directories returns a 'fatal error' message within cPanel (version number below).

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide

==============================================

Contextual Scenario and relevant 'Warning/Error' Messages:

==============================================

Context: Installed Image yesterday...everything worked fine. Default galleries directory 'images'.

Problem: Today, warning messages (see below), appear at top of pages for anything that has anything to do with image or image galleries.

Weird Things Are: Image and Image Galleries still work fine.

Desired Solution: Removal of 'pseudo' Warning Messages at top of pages.

Administer>settings>image:

warning: warning: No such file or directory in /home/sgprojx/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 91.
* The directory does not exist.

Please Note: The directory '.../files/images/' does exist. In the config. dialogue, the default file path is 'images'. When I first got the above message, I tried to insert an absolute file path...I have not been able to get anything accepted since...not even via the 'Reset Default'.

Administer> image galleries:

* warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/sgprojx/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 91.
* The directory does not exist.

Normal User Menu (Navigation)>create content>image:

* warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/sgprojx/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 91.
* The directory does not exist.

Please Note: I stress again...everything seems to work, I just keep getting the message at the top of any page that has anything to do with Image!

What have I done so far to try and fix this? :

I have ensured that all chmod/permissions settings for the directories are set to 777..have also tried 775.

I have deselected/deactivated Video Image and all Image modules from Administrator>modules. Overwritten the image.module by re-expanding the .tgz file. And then reselected/reactivated the modules in Administrator>modules. All to no avail.
