"ERROR: Could not create directory"

Hi everybody,

Whenever I try to edit strings, this error message pops up:

ERROR: Could not create directory /home/mondocam/public_html/online/uploaddata/lang/en_utf8_local

Even after clicking the switch box, I had the same error message plus this message:

Language en_utf8 cannot be edited with this page - switch to local

Does anybody of you know what to do?

Thanks a lot!

The folder 'uploadata/lang' is not writable by the webserver process. The permissions are wrong.
You should not put your uploaddate folder in the public_html folder for security reasons. Please make it as a folder in /mondocam and change the path in config.php accordingly.
