Header, footer, access error

EDGEMAN · March 14th, 2005, 06:51 PM

HUH? this is the error message I get when I go to the edit header or footer.

Unable to create or fix permissions for the file: /path/to/php/header.htm

Correct the permissions or set the file path in the Admin Global Options.

go into your global options, and change the full paths for both the header and footer. You need to change /path/to/php/ to your actual full path.

Thanks, Can the header be an image? Like:
http://www.a-a.com/Neighborhood.gif

Yes if you want it to

Ok I put in the above in the "Full path to Header Include file". The image did not show up.
I put the same path in both the include and the tag. Still does not show up.

I put the same link in the footer and, as you can see from the above link it came in a coded mess.

Hi..

I would reccomend you upload the attached to your photopost install dir, then alter the paths to the header (just put 'header.html' in the box) and your gif will show, the attached is a simple html page with the image.

Upload to my photopost install dir? OK I give.
This is begining to sound like when I am in France and speak 5 words in French and the people think I understand the whole language! lol.

Ut Oh!! Now I have broke my edit page. The line where to put the footer include info is stuck and will not edit. Opps?

b6gm6n · March 15th, 2005, 12:12 AM

Hi edgeman, yeah take the contents of the zip and upload to where the pp-inc.php is (and all the rest) then in the photopost admin you can alter the info "Full path to Header Include file" and simple put there : header.html

the "Full path to the Footer include file" you say cannot be edited or blanked out? - i don't think even you could break that!

- i jest, clear your browsers cache and reload the admin pages.

I have cleared catch, temp files & cookies.
The box has got <center (close angle) <img src= stuck in it and under the box is:
" name="9" class="bginput">

EDGEMAN · March 15th, 2005, 05:31 PM

Again the problem is on my Global Edit page I can not remove what is in the box for the footer. It just won't go away or let me change to a different path..

In the box is: <center (close angle) <img src=
and under the box, like a sub-note is:
" name="9" class="bginput">

Since you inputed this to the database and its not allowing it to change you would need to manually through you web control panel view the photopost database settings table and edit the entry for the footer path and empty it out

EDGEMAN · March 16th, 2005, 10:07 AM

I would more than happy to do that only if I had a clue as to where the photopost database settings table was located. If I knew exactly what the file name was then I could just ftp that file from my server, make the removal and ftp the file back.

Hi Edgeman,

You need to use 'phpmyadmin' to look within the photopost database
If you have phpmyadmin or a way of inserting sql commands then try the code below

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · March 16th, 2005, 01:42 PM

or this

if you want a much simpler mysql command

UPDATE settings SET setting='' WHERE id = '9'

Chuck S · March 16th, 2005, 01:47 PM

Or you can try uploading this file to your photopost install and rename it to fixfooter.php and run it in your browser

EDGEMAN · March 16th, 2005, 04:43 PM

Ok guys thanks for all your help. Now I understand I must find and download a tool called "phpmyadmin" and use it to look at the mysql files on my server.

I have not really found a site where it is clear to downlaod the "phpmyadmin" I keep getting refered to www.phpmyadmin.net and I have tried all their mirror sites to find the actual download link but to no avail.

I have read a lot of intimidating information on the tool and I must say this whole mess is not for the average Joe.

I dont think I need anywhere near the power of PP. All I want is something that will emulate the photo pages like this one: http://www.seymourauctions.com/gallery/index.php

PS. Chick thanks for the fix, it worked fine.

WHEEEE!
