www.domain.com at Admin Page

[sebuck]

Here is my current configuration:
MySQL 4.1.9
PHP 5.03
2000 Advanced Server with IIS

I'm only trying to install PhotoPost using its own db and registration. I'm not even trying to integrate it with something like vBulletin right now. All of the PhotoPost files have full permissions.

After I press the Configure PhotoPost button on step 4, I get the following errors:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in D:\Website\gallery\install.php on line 1301
Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\Website\gallery\forums\vb2.php on line 341

When I next go to the admin page, all links are referencing www.domain.com (really that, exact url, not my url!). Therefore, logging in just fails since there is not a www.domain.com. Its as if the values I am entering are not even getting accepted. Maybe that is what the error messages are indicating. I think www.domain.com is a default that first gets set in the database. Then maybe the error messages mean that my actual values are not getting set. Maybe I don't have permissions setup correctly on the database???

All suggestion are appreciated,
sebuck

I discovered that some older global variables were not getting set was not getting set and traced it to turning on register_long_arrays in my php.ini file. That solved almost every single problem. Can anyone please tell me if there is any other php.ini variable that should be turned on? What about register_globals or register_argc_argv?

Thanks,

nah leave off register globals and magic quotes

while your in there if your using GD for your image processor you might want to bump up the php memory_limit

If you want to upload big files you might want to also adjust the php max filesize variable and execution time settings

OK, I definitely need register_long_arrays on, but register_globals, register_argc_argv, and anything to do with magic quotes can be left off. I still get a warming about argv receiving an index of 0 whenever I go to my main Photopost page. I thought that turning on register_argc_argv would correct this warning, but it didn't.

I'm actually using ImageMagick. I chose it because I thought it support more image files. I plan to upload a lot of very large images. Is there any reason why you would pick GD over ImageMagick for my situation? Regardless, I will look at adjusting the php max file size variable and execution time settings since I will be processing large images.

Chuck, you also asked me if I was using vb2.php integration? I am (now) integrating with vBulletin 3.5.2. Is this what you mean? I took a little bit of work because I had the 'bb' cookie problem that others have been talking about. I also got a php error when it appeared it was trying to write my integration information to one of my files. I gave it 777 permissions, it worked, and then I returned the original permissions. This was at about 3am, so I can't remember what the file name is right now. I also can't directly log into the Photopost admin-index.php admin interface. However, if I log into the vBulletin interface, go to the gallery, and then choose the Photopost admin link, I get the Photopost admin interface. Is this normal?

Except for these couple of minor issues, everything seems to be working right now. The keys were to not use the latest versions of php and MySQL and to turn the register_long_arrays on variable on (which is off by default in the recommended php file). I really appreciate all of the help!!!

well I meantioned vb2 as an error you posted in a helpdesk ticket has vb2 integration file listed on the error which means the wrong integration was selected on install thats why I brought it up

Anyway Imagemagick is better in my opinion since it doesnt use php's memory and has more formats
