If you can see in my posts, i also still have problems with these topics. I change from php Apache to fastCGI. Until yet not all problems are solved and i would be happy to get more Information the right settings and cgi.

but you said
Inside the i folder is a folder called galleries, with sub-folders corresponding to the gallery architecture in the main gallery folder. Piwigo creates all of these on first run after upgrade using the "web" group as the owner of the folders, rather than the FTP account as the owner. In order for Piwigo to work properly, all these folders need to be "repossessed" by the FTP account and then deleted (they can't be deleted through FTP without being reposssessed; and repossession can sometimes be a painful circle jerk requiring correspondence with the web host). After they are deleted, they have to be manually re-created within FTP by the FTP user account as opposed to the web group. This also needs to be done to the folders representing the sub-albums.
You must have touched somehow the _data directory created by piwigo with your ftp client. Right ?
I think that you are confusing me with user mandarin.
As I mentioned before this is my unresolved thread.

Well, As far as I understand this is a workaround althought I haven't tested yet.
Is this 'officially' a bug?No. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing we can do (if not better warnings ...). This mainly due to your server setup (apache handler instead of cgi/fcgi). When you take ownership of the directories/files, there is no way for piwigo in php to get it back.
How was it working before 2.4.3 ? I had no issues with the setup as it is with thumbnails before. Currently with 2.4.3, any thumbnails which I manually created for videos don't display. See my question here : http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20144

Ok I have been through this with my hosting company and they say there is nothing stopping the install.
permissions are 0777 and this is a new install, it works on 2.2.1 as ive just tested it with my other site www.koikeepers.co.uk
So 2.4.3 is not doing as you guys say it is, im happy to be proved wrong but as it stands the install is not working.
I know im not the only one with an issue here so can we have some clear guidance and a path of fix please.
Not wishing to rock the boat here, it's a great gallery software and far better than copper and a few others so dont want to go second best route when there must be a solution to this.
Thanks Graham

That work around dont flow with me, within my _data folder I only have a tmp and template folder nothing else.
Shame this is s this such a crucial part of Piwigo to see pictures and thumbnails. without this fixed it's as usfull as a chocolate teapot.
Maybe you should manually create the i folder and galleries subfolder and subfolders representing your galleries....maybe your webserver cannot do it.

As listed here the requirements are:
- a webserver supporting PHP
- MySQL 5
- PHP 5No, but if you do anything by ftp and change ownership and file rights is up to you to put it back in place. (Checkout any other php based app on your server which works with files). It's almost like "I deleted all my files. It does not work. Do I miss anything ? ...' (sorry for being harsh)
Basically if your php runs under another user than your ftp account, there is nothing piwigo can do about it. You must ensure that all directories/files to which piwigo must write as the web server are accessible to the web server (ie: if ftp account is the owner, they must have 0777 permissions)I think that is the crux of the problem (in my case). My php runs under another user (known as "web") than my FTP account. And this particular thread is for those such cases only.
I think this has to be spelt out more explicitly in the requirements and documentation.

I have started a thread but I didn't receive any helpful answer.
