    does anyone know how to make my adverts writable.:confused:




    * Where to store your adverts (Must be writable, chmod 777)
    */
    $cfg['upload_path'] = 'adverts/'; // Directory to store adverts


    $cfg['adverts'] = 'adverts'; // Table name for adverts

    clkay - I didn't know anything about chmod either, but here is how I fixed it. I went to the file manager for my web page. In my file manager, all of the files have 3 digit numbers at the end. I found the files I had to chmod. I clicked on the 3 digit number and a script came up. I entered 777 and the permissions were changed. Afterwards I refreshed my edit config, and I was able to save. I then had to go back and change the permissions back to what they were originally for security. I have to do this each time I want to configure my gallery. I found out that my web host uses the Unix operating system or something like that, not windows which I am familiar with. I hope this is helpful.
    :cool:
