David,

As Sebastian indicated that error is definitely a file system permissions issue. I am not familiar enough with the GoDaddy hosting control panel to know if you can grant a child folder full permissions for the ASP.Net worker process account (IIS Identity Account) . I am sure, however, that GoDaddy blocks you from doing so on the root install folder. Most likely you will have to contact their support to set permissions for you.

First, however, log in to the site as host and navigate to Host-->Host Settings. Near the top of page will be a line captioned "ASP.Net Identity" Copy down the value that you see there. Then submit a support request to GoDaddy - something like the following "Please grant full file system permissions on the root folder of my website to the ASP.Net worker process account (<value from host settings page>) and propagate them to all child folders."

As for what may have changed, consider if you had recently upgraded DotNetNuke or made any changes to your sites FTP user or IIS settings in your GoDaddy control panel. If GoDaddy is using a Plesk control panel it is known for causing a change in permissions for accounts such as the IIS Identity account anytime a change is made in the web site/IIS settings.

It appears that your hosting provider  may be confusing file system permissions for the ASP.Net worker process account with the role based permissions that may be applied in the DotNetNuke website's File Manager. While I would check the File Manager's permissions to be sure that any Gallery folder to which users in a particular DotNetNuke role (for example Registered Users) should be able to upload images is showing Write permission for that role.

This issue, however, appears to be caused by insufficient file system permissions (outside of DotNetNuke). The necessary permissions (full permissions including modify) for the ASP.Net worker process account would need to be applied either in your website hosting provider's control panel (not from within DotNetNuke Host or Admin menus). It may be possible that you can do that yourself - at least on folders below the top level website root folder.

By default, Gallery files are stored in the following folder tree:

< website root folder >
     |--- /Portals
              |--- /< portalid# >
                          |--- /Gallery
                                   |--- /< moduleid# >
                                   |           |--- /_source
                                   |           |--- /_thumbs
                                   |           |--- /< child album name >
                                   |           |             |--- /_source
                                   |           |             |------- /_thumbs
                                   |           |
                                   |           |--- /< child album name 2 >
                                   |
                                   |------ /< moduleid# >

If you have more than one instance of the Gallery module on the site and only one of them is returning the error, I would suspect that one of the /< moduleid# > folders and its child folders are the ones lacking necessary file system permission. Alternatively if you have only one instance of the Gallery module and one child album is returning the error, I would suspect the corresponding /< child album name > folder and its child folders is the one lacking permissions.
