This looks like some sort of permissions issue, you need to change the permission on iv-config folder so Imagevue could create files inside. Here is an article describing this in details:

Hy, I'm encountering the same problem, unfortunately, giving chmod 777 permissions to the folder iv-config (and all of its subfolders and files) on my ftpclient, doesn't solve the problem.

I also contacted the service hosting my site, the deactivated the phpsafe mod, and checked the permissions too, for them it's ok, they told me to check which php function is used to create the folders.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You might have to contact your hosting support and ask for their assistance. I've seen hosts where the files uploaded by ftp are unaccessible for PHP without divine intervention from admin.

I also contacted the service hosting my site, the deactivated the phpsafe mod, and checked the permissions too, for them it's ok, they told me to check which php function is used to create the folders.

The difference for me is that i don't have to change the language, i just go to my site adress, and then the error appears right away.

it seems that this is this part of the code that is raising the error,

if (!($res = mkdirRecursive(self::_getCustomLanguagesDir(), 0777))) {
ivMessenger::add(ivMessenger::ERROR, 'Cannot create folder iv-config/language/');
}

and the function:

/**
* Recursively makes directory, returns TRUE if exists or made
*
* @param string $path The directory path
* @param integer $mode
* @return boolean TRUE if exists or made or FALSE on failure
*/

function mkdirRecursive($path, $mode = 0777)
{
$result = true;
if (!file_exists($path)) {
$result &= @mkdir($path, $mode, true);
}
$result &= iv_chmod($path, $mode);
return $result;
}

Don't know why the directories can't be created, in my case the directory with the file "french.xml" already exists

Logically it is the instruction iv_chmod($path, $mode) that is not working with my host or something like that, probably returning a $result = false.

cf. the code of the function : /**
* Error-free chmod function
*
* @param string $filename
* @param integer $mode
* @return boolean
*/
function iv_chmod($filename, $mode)
{
if (file_exists($filename) && is_writable($filename)) {
ivErrors::disable();
$result = @chmod($filename, $mode);
ivErrors::enable();
return $result;
}

return false;
}

Well I understand that this is permissions issue, however I am not sure what to recommend. You can create the folder manually, that should solve it. But it is strange that Imagevue would try to create the language folder right off the bat.

If you could provide FTP login to your server I would like to take a closer look at what is going on.

I did some tests to look at the the $mode value when i launch my site, and it is always 511 ( seems to be equivalent to 0777 octal value),

I just added some ivMessenger instructions to look the value of the $mode and $ filename

So it seems that, even when you are specifying the 0777 value for the mode in the call of the function, it is still using the 511 value, that may be the problem but i don't see how to solve it, maybe it comes from the hosting company, but i don't know what to tell them extactly, you know the hotline is delocated in Morrocco so they are not very efficient :p

EDIT: I also thought that maybe the conversion between octal value and decimal value was not done properly, so i forced 777 value instead of 0777, thinking that the 511 may come from this, but it is still the same. same error (attached file number 2)

Here are the changes i made:

/**
 * Recursively makes directory, returns TRUE if exists or made
 *
 * @param  string  $path The directory path
 * @param  integer $mode
 * @return boolean       TRUE if exists or made or FALSE on failure
 */
function mkdirRecursive($path, $mode = 0777)
{
	$result = true;
	[b]$mode = 0777;[/b]
	[b]ivMessenger::add(ivMessenger::ERROR, '$mode in mkdirRecursive = '.$mode);[/b]
	if (!file_exists($path)) {
[b]		ivMessenger::add(ivMessenger::ERROR, '$path = '.$path.' does not exists');[/b]
		$result &= @mkdir($path, $mode, true);
	}
	$result &= iv_chmod($path, $mode);
	return $result;
}

function iv_chmod($filename, $mode)
{
	if (file_exists($filename) && is_writable($filename)) {
		ivErrors::disable();
		$result = @chmod($filename, $mode);
[b]		ivMessenger::add(ivMessenger::ERROR, '$filename = '.$filename.' - $mode dans iv_chmod= '.$mode.' - $result de iv_chmod = '.$result);[/b]
		ivErrors::enable();
		return $result;
	}

	return false;
}

Maybe that will enlighten you on what i should do :p

Thanks in advance.

Well this is strange, because 511 is equivalent of 0777, I don't know why it doesn't work but I can suggest a workaround.

Create the iv-config/languages/ folder and copy iv-includes/include/lang.xml (for english) or any other language from iv-includes/language/ to that folder, and edit it manually. You can rename the file if you want and it will be recognized in the Imagevue Admin Panel

Posted: **21 Jul 2012, 05:24**

Yes, your idea fixed the problem, but it is only a temporary solution, because i'm unfortunately seeing that i can't do anything in the admin panel, when i change a title or a description of a photo or anything, then i save, i can see "folder data saved" and so on but, none of my changes are saved it rolled back to the way it was before i clicked on the save button, so there must be a permission problem :s. I can put all my directories in 777 mode but it is not the safest way :s, or i can edit the files manually :s (folders.xml, foldersData.xml, ...) but too bad not using the admin panel :s
I also don't understand why i'm only seeing 2 icon (16x16) in front of the name of my categories in my menu. They all match the following text :
[folder_toto_16.png] MyMenuText
But it only shows up 2 icons in my menu of 8 item menu.
Of course everything works on my localhost, it only bugs on the published site( by the way the site is hosted by "Netissime")

Thanks.

Oh, so you can use 777? Then do it, you don't need to chmod ALL files, just iv-config, content folder and their contents. It's not making your site less secure anyway.

The missing menu icons are most likely caused by missing or unreadable files. Could you provide a link to your site please? It is hard to tell what is going on just by guessing.

You can see that a lot of icon are invisible :p

Unfortunately, there is still a problem with my language. Here is the errors i see when trying to modify the french language in the admin panel.
Even if my file "french.xml" contains every words in french. In the site and in the admin panel only half of the words are french words, the rest are in english.You can look the attached file for the error.

here is the code of my french.xml

I believe you didn't say the file in UTF-8 encoding. All XML files must use UTF-8. I strongly encourage you to fix the permissions however so Imagevue will be able to write to files.

Posted: **23 Jul 2012, 07:05**

What do you think by " I did'nt say the file in UTF-8 encoding" ? In the french.xml file, it is said that it is in UTF-8 no?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I must talk with my host provider for the permissions issue.

And what do you think for the icon not visible? (http://www.insightspirit.com

Thanks in advance.

P.S. : Sorry to ask so many questions :p, but i guess i have no luck with my hosting provider lol

Hello again, after seeing the same issue on the other server I think we might have a workaround for "iv-config/languages" issue. Please check it on your server. Replace iv-includes/include/functions.inc.php with the file included and see if it will work for you.
