when I tried to install jvi, I got this error: creating storage directory structure ...
Failed

but it still shows installation success.

I searched the forum, and found the answer wasn't helpful, which is about creating subfolders in jMedia... under root? what subfolders I need to create?? what's the real solution?

thanks

this folder is checked for existence on installation and every video add.
if this doesn't exist, it will create it ...

apart from directory permission for JVD, you should look at permission for joomla first.

every directory of my installed Joomla has been chmod to 777. What else I should check to solve the problem? thanks

the same problem persists even after I make sure the permission for Joomla has no problem.

I'm running it on my linux server with apache. pls help.

are you on dedicated server?

chmod 777 to whole joomla is a very bad idea.
try
chown -R apache:apache /path/to/joomla

if this doesn't help, you will need to first straighten up your linux box

actually, my server is a VPS built in CentOS.

I know it's dangerous to have everything chmod 777 in Joomla, but I wanted to make sure whether it's Joomla's problem or not.

why do you want to change the ownership of my joomla installation to apache? that doesn't make much sense.

Also what do you mean by straighten up my linux box? I'd rather not, because there're some other websites running on it.

Is there any real solutions to my problem???

sorry that JVD doesn't work for you...

cause it seems to me that Joomla standard installer and standard file system doesn't work on your machine.

on my linux box with centos, it works for me if i chown to apache
just a suggestion
