Photopost vbGallery to Photopost Pro Import Script - Page 8

Chuck S · March 20th, 2010, 05:45 PM

This script is to import vbgallery content to photopost pro. It has nothing to do with vb4 so not sure what thats all about.

anyway your error tells me you have not put the correct vbgallery database information to obtain a successful import check your vbgallery table prefix and database info.

A gallery button on your vb4 is a hack or mod as that deals with vb4 not our application. You can try this

OK It imported everything... except the actual files. I am not sure if maybe there is a step I am missing but I enter everything as described. Still not working just transfers the databases but no files.

I am transfering from the latest vbgallery to the latest photopostpro

Make sure your full server path to the vbgallery files directory has been entered correctly as well as you have the correct path to the photopost data directory

what is the error you get when importing files?

Chris Lang · April 8th, 2010, 08:24 PM

I figured it out. The errors were scrolling to fast to read them but I got a quick screen cap and apparently the settings were wrong.

Maybe adding a little more info about how to use would help.

You need to aim vbgallery at /forum/gallery/files and photopost to /forum/photopost/data

However now I get a 500 error

You sure you edited correctly and are using FULL SERVER PATHS?

Chris Lang · April 8th, 2010, 10:12 PM

you tell me if this looks right

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

database host/user/prefix/name are all correct.

It transfers about 1000 files and then stops. I currently have over 5000 thou.

That may be some server restriction going on there. Do your server error logs give any suggestion as to the real error?

We already have these lines in the script to try and up the PHP resources for the import

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Maybe your site doesnt allow you to override the default php settings but really cant say without looking at the server.

Chris Lang · April 9th, 2010, 09:11 AM

Sadly it is saying I am not verified so I can't see it.

I tried upping PHP limits even higher. They are set as follows
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 120
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 256M

Quite high. I will try to change anything you like and if you want can give you access to the server.

Chuck S · April 9th, 2010, 10:16 AM

max_execution_time = 60

Maybe set that to 0?

Chris Lang · April 9th, 2010, 09:55 PM

That doesn't seem to work either. I do know that I have quite a few images that are not normal (videos and such) could this cause a problem?

I am trying to think why this isn't working and I can't think of any reason why it is not. If you like I can PM you my server info.

Chuck S · April 10th, 2010, 08:11 AM

I would not think so as all we do is a simply php copy command.

You can send full server info to the contact us link as well as url and admin login I can take a peek if you want.

I ran into this problem when importing files:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

But the path looks correct to me?

Chuck S · August 13th, 2010, 07:04 PM

Is photopost the correct name of your vbgallery directory?

Yeah, it is actually (I named it that on accident when installing and did not realize it until later, after links were already established). And the new one is photopost_new.

Chuck S · August 13th, 2010, 08:26 PM

Have you tried accessing the file to see what the issue is?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Maybe the photo does not exist?

TruthElixirX · August 13th, 2010, 09:36 PM

I figured out the problem. I was leaving out /forum/ in the path. :\

Thanks

Chuck S · August 13th, 2010, 10:47 PM

Okay no problem glad you got it. Bad path statements would do it.

pakpassion · November 19th, 2010, 12:14 PM

Sorry to sound stupid, but where is the importer for this? I downloaded the two files and tried both files in my browser but I only get a blank page when I run either file in my browser.

pakpassion · November 22nd, 2010, 01:11 AM

Anyone? I need to import my vbgallery pics to my Photopost Pro install.

Chuck S · November 22nd, 2010, 07:33 AM

The importer is in the first post of this thread

You need to unzip them and upload to your photopost directory and make sure to follow the instructions in my post.
