Hey, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt I'm not an idiot

I installed the software during the past 5 minutes on my other host.

http://www.servicelance.com/ (I'll remove it within hour)

seems to work so i'm back to square one on the other host which probably asks the question... why it works one place not the other. So must be some differences in php which I have not identified.

It comes down to as I stated when you have an issue like this where you are having an install issue its best to delete everything and start over COMPLETELY FRESH. Don't forget to keep your data directory.

Try installing your gallery in your normal domain instead of /forums/gallery to /gallery
There is something about the old directory permissions maybe. What is the permissions of that gallery directory? should be 755

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 12:46 PM

yes it's 755

Chuck S · January 7th, 2005, 12:47 PM

well did you delete everything before as stated except the data directory? Obviously there is something your doing different installing it here other than there.

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 12:53 PM

clean install number 4, seems to work

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 12:55 PM

but this install uses internal database and is not connected to vb3

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:02 PM

All of my permissions are correct but it generates this error when creating a category . looks like a "/" missing somewhere

Error creating directory /home/.sites/123/site64/web/forum/gallery/data503. Check permissions of your data directory.

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:04 PM

So I added an extra slash to end of this config item

http://www.ongaros.com/forum/gallery/data/

and the error goes away

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:05 PM

Now i proved beyond reasonable doubt this is easily installable on servicelance

but here now I can't upload bulk, these are identical images

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:06 PM

Same deal on newly created directory

Unable to read the format of file: /home/.sites/123/site64/web/forum/gallery/data/504/11waterfowl0041.jpg

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:09 PM

must be something on the server to do with permissions when created by photopost but makes no sense since I followed same routine on servicelance and it was all done in 5 minutes from install to upload of one directory

Chuck S · January 7th, 2005, 01:27 PM

what is the contents of your data directory on this install? does that directory exist as stated

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:30 PM

data directory is fresh, nothing inside it's just whatever shipped with photopost then I changed permissions after the upload

maybe i should delete those and create my own?

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:32 PM

Opps.

yes in the 500 directory photopost began creating thumbs and loading images then it barked back with errors posted above.

Chuck S · January 7th, 2005, 01:32 PM

No you do not want to do that

I am trying to understand how your trying to upload a category to a category and the data category does not exist thats why your getting the error. 504 does not exist

when you add a category in admin category editor it creates the directory your 504 directory does not exist hense your error

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:41 PM

it keeps choking

Unable to read the format of file: /home/.sites/123/site64/web/forum/gallery/data/504/11waterfowl0041.jpg

but I removed that photo from the upload directory so it's not even there it's choking on something does not exist

on servicelance it bypassed and just uploaded the bulk photos no problemo

brianresler · January 7th, 2005, 01:45 PM

ok thought cookies

refreshed browser, removed cookies

quite browser

went back to site logged in, went to admin removed whatever it tried to upload and get same error

Unable to read the format of file: /home/.sites/123/site64/web/forum/gallery/data/504/11waterfowl0041.jpg

but this image is not even in upload directory, so something is goofy here

I bypassed the error by placing the additional "/" to end of URL as noted above.

Then it creates a cat with no subsequent errors. So the 504 directory exists now. And I did delete then recreate with my ftp client. no problem now problem is bulk upload chokes on a image that is not in the directory

Chuck S · January 7th, 2005, 01:52 PM

Are you sure they exist and are 777

url to install and PM login. Is it still the same?
