Hi All, i have gallery 1.3.4 install and integrated with Geeklog with no prob but when i install Blaine\'s random photo block, i get the following error:

Warning: fopen(/home/itcow/public_html/gallery/block-random.cache) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /home/itcow/public_html/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 53

Why? I\'ve checked, there is no block-random.cache so i created a blank file with that name, upload it, the error changes to the following

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/itcow/public_html/block-random.php on line 97

Then i tried CHMOD that file to 777, and it\'s the same error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/itcow/public_html/block-random.php on line 97

So i delete that file, the first error message comes back but the random photos does appear on the block. Please take a look @ http://www.itcow.com I\'ve left it as it is for the moment.

i had a similar problem with my site when my host changed some settings around and started messing up some of my file permissions (gallery/geeklog was working fine and dandy till that point). The stuff i changed were: - Made sure the cache file line in lib-custom is
Text Formatted Code
define(CACHE_FILE, \"/tmp/block-random.cache\");
and replaced
Text Formatted Code
 $choose = rand(1, $count);
to
Text Formatted Code
 $choose = rand(1, intval($count));
in block-random.php I also emptied out block-random.cache just to make sure and chmodded the files back to 777

FYI, the usual place for cache files would be your albums directory. If you are sharing the system you may not want to use /tmp, but your albums directory is writable by the web server user so it's a good place for this.
