EXIF info on PP 5.11

[ehm]

I never was able to get the EXIF info on my previus versions and still not on this latest one.
Before I tought it was something I installed wrong at the beggining, since every body else can have EXIF on their site but me.
But now, I install 5.11 from scratch and still not having the information.
I do have a picture with EXIF info (I open it with IrfanView and that software show me the EXIF info).
I upload this picture and there is no place with the EXIF info.
My settings are:
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/imigrar/photo/bin/jhead

I downloaded the jhead file for non-root access ("Pre-built Linux executable (built on RedHat 9.0)") at:

Current release version: 2.4-2 (Jun 10 2005)
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/

I created a "bin" folder on my server, under my /photo direcotry, and uploaded (ftp) in binary mode this jhead file into it. Permissions 755.

I checked my serve with PHPInfo and could NOT find any EXIF info on it.
Where should I put it?

when I run the SCAN Database the response is:

"Checking photo #1: - checking for exif (none) done."

I know something I'm doing wrong, but what would it be?

I beleive the issue is with using a precompiled one.

I would suggest you download the source and actually make jhead on your own server in a non-root directory.

There is not an issue here with exif and our program. I have all types of photos with exif since most photos on my site are from peoples digital cams. Every instance on the support forums here come from the actual use of a pre compiled one. Once the user actually makes from source this usually works.

Thats bad for me... I don't have access to compile souces on my server

Guess I will have to wait for maybe a future version.
Thank you any way.

[Chuck S]

well future version of what?

[ehm]

any new version who can do it in a different way. Either PP or jhead.

[Chuck S]

well nothing will change in Photopost I would think as jhead is an external variable and not part of Photopost.

Obviously the premade binary your using was not compiled for your system if it does not work. Your issue has nothing to do with Photopost nor jhead as both function fine in themselves if installed correctly. Try searching for precompiled jhead binaries for different systems and try it out with one matching your setup. Example installing a red hat binary on freebsd system will not work. Also note on freebsd with permissions usually things need to be ported.

Hi Chuck
This is exactly the same problems as mine. And I can´t compile it myself because I don´t have shell access.
But the weird thing with my problems is, that it suddenly works on 3-4 photos???

You can see here: digitalphoto.geek.nz - Motor Bikes

So any ideas?

Another weird thing is that I can upload without choosing a photo and PhotoPost tells me it´s uploaded ok. ????

well jhead is either working or it isnt. I beleive you want to keep this discussion in one thread so please respond in your other thread.
