Batch uploading from server

gotvenm · January 28th, 2007, 06:08 PM

I have my files here:
/var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/2005_events/rmmr_05

it will tell me that its "processing image list" but then instead of showing each image processed it will take me to the album I wanted to upload to and show no pictures uploaded.

I have also tried just dumping all the pics in the /1 dire, that doesnt work either. Tells me something about an unsupported image type. The pics are all .jpg and PP is set to handle these. Also using GD2.

What do I have set wrong ?

Is the directory 777? The images are directly under that directory right not subdirectories?

You have entered that path on the upload page as the page to look for files and hit the skip upload checkbox?

gotvenm · January 28th, 2007, 07:39 PM

yes, everything under and including upload is 777.
yes I entered the path on the upload page and hit skip upload.

no, they arent in a folder directly under the /uploads they are two deep.
Look at the path i first posted, they are in the rmmr_05 folder.

You must place the full explicit path where noted on the uploads page. We do not scan under subdirectories for files hense your path is wrong there are no images to process and you are simply sent back to the gallery

Ok, so to make sure I am understanding what you are saying...

In Admin area under global options the path I entered is:
PATH to UPLOADS directory?: /var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/

When trying to batch upload:
Files should already be in: /var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads//1
(thats what it says by default)

but i have been putting the full path to my photos:
/var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/2005_events/rmmr_05

So where should my photos go ? I could swear that I could manually choose any directory under uploads no matter how deep previously, as long as my PATH to UPLOADS directory was set to the upload dir.

It sounds to me like you are saying that each time I batch upload from the server I need to put my files in the uplaod directory and not in any sub directories under it ? even though i put the full path to it on the upload ?

You can upload files directly to your uploads directory if you choose

/var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/1

Or change the path to this

/var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/2005_events/rmmr_05

You must check the box to skip upload and process files in your uploads directory. There must be files that exist in that directory not in sub directories underneath it

That is exactly what I have been doing. And it doesnt work.
Any thoughts as to why its not working ?

Here is a screenshot of how I have been trying this just for a visual so we are on the same path.

You need to hit the checkbox for skip upload on the middle of the upload page

Thanks ! Thanks for bearing with me.

So I did that, and got this error: "Sorry, this image type () is not supported yet."

The pics in there are .jpg

I can even browse right to 'em and they view perfectly, so I know they arent corrupt.

Chuck S · January 29th, 2007, 03:47 PM

Can you upload a single file right?

The path is 777 for that directory those images are in right?

gotvenm · January 29th, 2007, 04:29 PM

Yes, the path is 777 and when I tried to do a single file from my desktop if failed, with the same errror: "Sorry, this image type () is not supported yet."

However I can upload the same .jpg from my desktop to the user gallery without an error.

Chuck S · January 29th, 2007, 05:38 PM

Ah okay so your image processor is not working. Two things to check see if you have mogrify on the server and next recheck your uploads and data directories to ensure they are set to 777 AT EVERY LEVEL DEEP.

gotvenm · January 29th, 2007, 06:39 PM

whereis mogrify and i am told /usr/bin/ which is how It in the config.inc.php

777 on uploads and everything underneath it.
server has imagemagick and GD2 on it. set to GD2 I get "Sorry, this image type () is not supported yet."

set to Imagemagick I get "Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 126
Command:
"/usr/bin/" +profile "*" -size 0x100 -quality 70 -geometry 0x100 '/var/www/html/domain/gallery/data/505/thumbs/RMMR_2005_-_003.jpg'"

/data/505 doesnt exist and data is 777

Chuck S · January 29th, 2007, 07:22 PM

Your mogrify should be set in the config like this

/usr/bin/mogrify

Try that and test a single upload

gotvenm · January 29th, 2007, 09:56 PM

that doesnt work either... same errors as above only now of course it adds in mogrify

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

what i dont understand is that it works for member galleries and I also have classifieds running on this box and picture uploads with ads work fine with "/usr/bin/" using GD2.

Chuck S · January 29th, 2007, 11:30 PM

GD2 does not use mogrify

You can email me at chuck@photopost.com and I can see what you have set wrong. send admin login and ftp info.

email sent ! thx !

Your permissions on certain data directories every level down are not set to 777

The ftp you sent does not give me permission to do anything

Because permissions are not 777 here is the error I see trying to upload

Unable to read the format of file: /var/www/html/coloradostangs/gallery/data/500/medium/8468Gonipora5.jpg

gotvenm · January 31st, 2007, 01:38 PM

I set all the permissions to 777 and tried the batch upload like I would like to do, but it still gives me "Sorry, this image type () is not supported yet."

(/var/www/html/domain/gallery/uploads/2005_events/rmmr_05)

I chown'd all the files to that ftp account so you can modify whatever.

oh, when the program creates the 50x directories, is it not making them 777 ?
