In order for imagevue to be able to save descriptions and thumbnails to server,
you need to set the correct permissions to your imagefolder. In technical terms, these settings are called CHMOD.
Failure to set correct permissions will not only prevent you from creating descriptions,
it will also create an extra strain on your server because thumbnails have to
be created from fullsize images for every user viewing your gallery. This will
cause your gallery to run slow.
The easiest way to set permissions is to connect to your server with any FTP application, select an imagefolder and choose properties or attributes. Allow
Write and Execute attributes for all users. In the example below, we have simply connected to
our site using Internet Explorer. To connect to your site with a browser, you would normally do it by entering following url:
Navigate to your imagefolders, right-click, choose properties and make sure all
users and groups have full permissions, also referred as CHMOD777.
Setting permissions like this simply allows the scripts from imagevue to do certain
operations, and save files to your server. Since the scripts are triggered from
client web-browsers, permission restrictions are implemented for security reasons.
