Photos module instalation failure

I've just started using Dolphin, so maybe this is silly, but extremely annoying! Please help me!

I want to add standard photos module, but installation is failed, because of the simple problem:

-- -- You need to change permissions for the following files and folders:
-- -- /modules/boonex/photos/data/files - Writable

Well, I know what that means, so I go and change permissions. But the same problem appears! Now the rights for all the files in this catalog i've changed to 777, and the problem is still the same, when I want to install the module.

Where else can be the cause??

Please help me, this is drawing me crazy!

Only explanation i can come up with is the permission setting did not take effect, or at one point in time the folder was restored from a backup or the site was moved to a different server and the ownership is wrong.

In any case, it is a permission or ownership issue. There is no other explanation.

I thought that permissions should be changed also for some other, general file, external from the photos folder.

Can this can be a cause? Which file is affected by the installation of the photos module?

No. as far as installing only the folder modules/boonex/photos/data/files is checked for permissions. The install does not care about other permissions. As long at that one passes it will install.

As for other permissions, yea, the tmp folder is used during photo uploads and that must also be writable, but that is after the fact. It has no effect on install.

You could go one folder back to modules/boonex/photos/data and check that, but unless permissions or ownership in that is really messed up, that one should not matter.

please check even this /modules/boonex/photos/data/files    exist in the photos module.

Well, the day passed, and the problem is still the same :)

Wha do you mean by "please check even this /modules/boonex/photos/data/files exist in the photos module"?

I treat that path /modules/boonex/photos/data/files, as an absolute path starting from the home catalogue, where all other Dolphin folders are placed (like administration, templates, inc, plugins etc.).

Where else can be the same path? Where else can I check if the path exists?

And now I can see, that some other standard modules like Avatar, Desktop, Files, Profile customizer, Profiles, Sites etc have the same problem with installation as the photos module. It seems like the permissions for some global file have to be messed up :/

Ok, for the future generations - I found the solution of the same problem (checking permissions) with avatar module. And someone solved it like this:

In the array: config=>instal=> he changed

'install' => array(
'show_introduction' => 0,
'change_permissions' => 1,
'execute_sql' => 1,

to

'install' => array(
'show_introduction' => 0,
'change_permissions' => 0,
'execute_sql' => 1,

and claims that everything works fine. I will try ts solution,tosee if it solves my problem too.

Just posted this, to show that I'm not the only person having the problem with this, and that it's not a server configuration issue :)

Are you actually able to upload photos now that the module is installed? The part you changed tells the mod not to check the permission of the files folder before the mod is installed. If you CAN upload photos then that means Dolphin isn't able to accurately determine the permission level of your folders. 

Yes! I've just done it!  - it works!

Well, so maybe the cause that I have some corrupted dolphin copy :/.
