Moving Gallery to new server!

msimonds · April 29th, 2005, 07:46 PM

I have a problem and i need some assistance.

I have a modified gallery that i have been developing at http://dev.sportsrant.com/testgallery and it works like a charm!

I am attempting to move the gallery to my live site located at http://www.sportsrant.com/testgallery and everything works.

I downloaded the file structure for the gallery and reuploaded it to my real site, including the images in testgallery/users/1/8/7

I also went into phpmyadmin and made a backup of all the gallery tables and data and then restored the database and everything took!

When i go into the gallery admin and resize the thumbnails, it works, but when i resize the full images, i get this error (this is an example, i am getting it on every image)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

i have checked and rechecked the path tons of time to see if i missed something and it is correct.

can someone see what i am doing wrong?

TIA

Did you set permissions on the files directory, and everything under it, to 777?

yes sir i did that a few times and it still is not happening

that is what i dont understand

the /files need to be chmod to 777 but all the images are moved over to the /users, in this case users/1/8/7/ folder. that is where it is trying to resize the images from

are there any step by step procedures for moving servers for the gallery

TIA

The /users path should only be used for the FTP upload process shouldn't it? Are you sure you didn't put the wrong path in the wrong field?

right i agree and yes the path is correct, all i did is change the "dev' to 'www' in the database. the paths are exactly the same

That error generally means that there is no file located at the path specified. If you're sure the paths are correct then I'm not really sure why you would be having a problem. If you'd like to submit a support ticket though I'll be glad to take a look.

i never figured it out but thanks for checking, i actually cleared my cache and then re-resotred the DB and it all seems fine now, sorry for the trouble
