Is it possiple to import a folder of images that are already on my server, but not yet in photopost? The photos are not on a HTML page, they are just in a folder.

Use bulkupload and hit skip upload checkbox and change the input box that has your uploads path to the server path to that directory and hit submit

Thanks, I tried that and got this message...

You don't have permission to access /photopost/bulkupload.php on this server.

What do I need to change so I have permission to access that file?

AREA51 · September 14th, 2006, 08:38 PM

I tried going directly to the bulkupload.php file via my browser and I get this...

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/bulkupload.php on line 137

I went to line 137 of the bulkupload.php file and it says this...
list( $diskuse ) = mysql_fetch_row($resulta);

Do you have any idea what I need to do to make this work?

AREA51 · September 14th, 2006, 09:01 PM

Ok, I made some changes and I think I got it working.

AREA51 · September 14th, 2006, 09:32 PM

Ok, I spoke to soon... now I'm having a different problem.

Here are my settings...
ADMIN OPTIONS FOR BULK OR ZIP UPLOADS
Files should already be in: http://www.zerogravityclub.com/oldph...-09-04/images/

Click here to bypass approval process and upload all files in directory
(I have this checked)

Do not watermark images
(I have this checked)

Do not delete photos from source directory
(I have this checked)

Show thumbnails during processing?
(No)

Number of thumbnails to process next?
(I left this at the default of NO)

When I hit Upload/Submit I get this...

Cannot find the directory: http://www.zerogravityclub.com/oldph...-09-04/images/

Chuck S · September 14th, 2006, 09:45 PM

You need to use the server path not a url there

AREA51 · September 14th, 2006, 11:41 PM

Ok I added my server path...

/home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/oldphotos/ZGNWEB04-09-04/images/

When I hit submit

It looks like it is doing something... it says

Processing Image List

Then it takes me to the Gallery... but there are no photos shown at all.

What else am I missing? Do I need to check any other settings?

Chuck S · September 15th, 2006, 08:51 AM

are there images in that folder not subfolders?

it looks like there are and are you clicking the skip upload prompt thing?

http://www.zerogravityclub.com/oldph...-09-04/images/

AREA51 · September 15th, 2006, 12:38 PM

Yes, it is just a folder of images.

Click here to bypass approval process and upload all files in directory
(I have this checked)

Is there something else I should have checked as well?

Chuck S · September 15th, 2006, 12:39 PM

Yes the skip upload and process files in your directory checkbox not the bypass approval one

AREA51 · September 15th, 2006, 01:02 PM

I checked the skip upload and process files this time and when I hit submit it loaded a page with a bunch of errors for each image...

Warning: filesize(): Stat failed for /home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/oldphotos/ZGNWEB04-09-04/images//04-09-04ZGN_001.jpg (errno=2 – No such file or directory) in /home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/bulkupload.php on line 634

This page only shows up for a second and then goes away.

When I go to the upload photos screen I noticed the default bulkuploads location is
/home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/uploads/1

I changed the above to
/home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/uploads/2

(I had images in folder 2)

When I hit submit, it acutaly took me to a screen of thumbnails of all the images in that folder. When I hit submit again it gave me this error...

Unable to read the format of file: /home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/data/719/ZGN03-03-22_001.jpg

Chuck S · September 15th, 2006, 01:06 PM

couple things. Make sure you dont have a trailing slash on the page where you input a server path and next make sure al your data directories are at every level 777

AREA51 · September 15th, 2006, 03:50 PM

I made sure there was no trailing slash and all the data directories are set to 777

I still get

Unable to read the format of file: /home/virtual/site138/fst/var/www/html/photopost/data/719/ZGN03-03-22_001.jpg

Chuck S · September 15th, 2006, 07:02 PM

You can PM me an admin account

AREA51 · September 18th, 2006, 05:27 PM

Any update on this issue?

Chuck S · September 18th, 2006, 06:28 PM

I have no PM from you

AREA51 · September 18th, 2006, 06:31 PM

Check again, I sent you a PM on the 15th. I'll send one again right now.

Chuck S · September 18th, 2006, 07:44 PM

I uploaded a 5mb mp3 file without issue

http://www.zerogravityclub.com/photo...=500&ppuser=10

AREA51 · September 18th, 2006, 07:48 PM

Um... uploading an mp3 file isn't the problem. I can't get it to import a folder of images that is currently on the server.
