When I try to setup the configuration settings I get these error messages:

Text Formatted Code
Warning: fopen(/home2/starfury/plugins/filemgmt/filemgmt.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home2/starfury/public_html/admin/plugins/filemgmt/index.php on line 1169

Well since it says permission denied in the first line I would check if you have all the permissions set correctly as desctibed in the setup instructions.

running linux?

well then check that you have set the correct permissions to the folders that you installed with the plugin. which ones you have to set is descibed in the instructions of the plugin.
You can change permissions the same way you changed the logfile and article images folders of your geeklog installation

The plugin can only open files the webserver has permissions to read and smilarly write. This is always as it notes a permission related error. It's possible your FTP client is not telling you correct permissions or you don't have permissions set correctly at the directory level.

The error message quoted does not appear to show the actual file that can not be read. Check that it really is the correct full path to the file on the webserver.

what should the path look like? - should it be /path/to/geeklog/filemgmt/ - i (think) i tried them all

i gave up after about 45 minutes of really looking into everything but any help is GREATLY appreciated!

well the path has to point to your actualt temporary directory, and this one has to be writable.

If you do not know where the tmp directory is on your server, you can always create one, CHMOD to 777 and point the path there.
