Hello,

I tried to install this script twice with no luck. I get the following error during install:

The strange thing is that I DID change the folder settings to 777 and it did create the folders that th script is throwing errors on. Specifically the data/thumbs data/mini and data/medium. The script also changed these folders to 777 once it created them.

After the install is complete the gallery is there but not really useable. It will log me in but if I click on the admin interface it brings me to a login screen (not templated btw). Once I log in there it actually logs me out everywhere on my site.

Also, if I click upload a picture it says I don't have permissions to do so.

Any ideas?

I've tried installing it 3 times now. I must be missing something.

I put photopost in a different database because I don't like the idea of mixing the two. I did enter in the database info for my forums for the user info.

Not sure if I HAVE to mix the databases or not... or why I would want to.

Chuck S · March 27th, 2006, 03:34 PM

As the install instructions state the data directories at every level must be 777

http://www.photopost.com/installphp.html

If your having login issues I would suggest if your integrating with vb3 make sure to reinstall and answer the vb license number and cookie prefix questions correctly.

Nathan · March 27th, 2006, 03:37 PM

Did all the above. Everything is 777 and I have the correct vBulletin license number for that install.

When you say integrate with vBullein... do you mean use the same database? What advantage does this hold? I see it as a danger to have both on the same database

My database is already very large and I don't want to mix the two

Delphivi · March 27th, 2006, 03:40 PM

hi,

it depends on wheter you want to use the photopost user signup system or integrate with one of the suported forum software packages.Those permissions denied errors well if you are sure you did set them then there is something else you can do.Some hosts do not allow chmod 777 on there servers (security) in that case you need to contact them and ask what values you should use.Also if PHP safe's mode is enabled photopost will not work on your server you can see this by running

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

safe mode => off

also make sure you set your permissions like mentioned here

Chuck S · March 27th, 2006, 03:42 PM

Exactly if your getting FOPEN FCLOSE errors in the data directories that you say are 777 there is no way they are 777

Nathan · March 27th, 2006, 03:50 PM

Thanks to Zach for helping me on IM

I didn't have my cookies set right (bb)
I went into phpmyadmin and all is working now

THANKS!

I have no idea what the issue ways. Like I said in my post it did create the folder and chmod it right. Not sure why it threw an error.

This is a dedicated server and I use 777 all the time.
But the issue is fixed now that I have the cookies set right.

Thanks

There are multiple folders and there would be nothing to create since they are contained in our download. The reason you got the error you got on install you might have only got the top level if data and even 1 2 500 but you did not drill down to thumbs medium mini and make sure they where 777.

You hit the nail on the head Chuck. I was still having a few issues and it ended up being the sub sub folders. data/1/thumbs etc...

I am still having some trouble with the formatting though. Not sure why its not translating my forums skin right.

The green search bar doesn't look right.

Chuck S · March 27th, 2006, 05:12 PM

Thats why my very first post had the install instructions linked and stated the data directory at every level had to be changed.

As far as style issues try renaming your name on the div box for your custom search form something other than search. It will conflict with our autorewrite code which makes search a full url so things are found

Try making the name custombox or something

Nathan · March 27th, 2006, 07:21 PM

That worked, thanks again Chuck.

Sorry for the misunderstanding before. I should have been more careful.

Any quick links on how to edit the look and feel of the gallery? Adding adsense, placing most recent pictures up top instead of on the bottom, etc...

Thanks

Nathan · March 27th, 2006, 07:25 PM

BTW, I'm basically going for this type of look http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/index.php

Chuck S · March 27th, 2006, 07:36 PM

Thats a pretty standard layout except he has a banner ad in his indexhead template

You can in Admin => Layout Options select whether to show the recent up top or bottom.

Nathan · March 27th, 2006, 07:47 PM

how about adding Adsense? Is that something you have to dive into the code to do?

I think I have everything else figured out

Chuck S · March 27th, 2006, 07:50 PM

Thats html code just place it in your header html or your footer html or if its a skinny box put it in one of the custompal boxes to show on your sidebar.
