Submitted by lilego on Tue, 2008-03-18 22:42.
Hi there
I just installed phpalbum, and for some strange reason, every time after I scan for new galleries, a whole bunch of php files are added to my data folder.
These files appear in my gallery with the "download file" image.

Please help
thanks!

Hi Patrik
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still a little confused. In the setup page, I see the blanks for the cache directory and the album directory.
For the Cache I've named it cache_asfsdkjfhs
For the Album I've named it data_asfsdkjfhs
Should I have a new directory for the Album directory - ie album_asfsdkjfhs
Thanks so much!

Yes, actually you need 3 directories:
data - where data will be be stored, this must be writable for www and set up in config.php
cache - where chached thumbnails will be stored, this must be writable for www too, and is setup in Setup->Main Setup
photos - where you will be or alerady have your photos. this must be just readable for phpAlbum. And is set up in Setup->Main Setup
