Topic: Gallery and virtual Domains

[David W]

Am I missing something,
I'm using Gallery on my primary domain with e-smith ver.5.12
I'm hosting 3 domains for some high school classes and would like to use Gallery on all three domains, BUT I need them to be completely separate from each other. I don't want domainb.com/gallery to go to DomainA.com/gallery which is what happens now. The features that Gallery have meet my needs 100% and have looked at others. Dan you out there? Have any Ideas? Currently I stuck Yappa on the other sites,,, I'm not real impressed with it.

[Dan Brown]

Don't know how to do domain1/gallery, domain2/gallery, etc., but it should be easy enough to do domain1/gallery1, domain2/gallery2, etc.  Just change the directory where you install it, and make several template fragments, one for each directory.

[David W]

Yes thats what I meant with the domains, sorry.
I'm not real strong with template fragments, but what your saying is since I have Gallery already installed on domain1, I now need to install a second copy of Gallery but use different directory, say one on domain2 in the Ibay? then make template changes. Would you by any chance be able to point me to which templates to mod? (i'm on my way to your How-to to look at the mods for the first install)

Correct?

[root@e-smith /root]# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[root@e-smith /root]# cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[root@e-smith httpd.conf]# pico 94gallery2



#-------------------------------------------
#   Gallery 1.3
#-------------------------------------------

  Alias       /gallery2         /opt/gallery2


    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
    Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride Options FileInfo
    order deny,allow
    deny from all

Filesystem path to thumbnails for movies: /opt/gallery2/images/movie.thumb.jpg
Album directory: /opt/gallery2/albums
Albums URL: http://domain2.com/gallery2/albums

Looks exactly like what I had in mind.

[David W]

Thanks Dan,

Also found some info at http://gallery.menalto.com/ about virtual domain issues. I'll try it in the morning when I get back into the office.

I'll let you know what happens.

[David W]

That Worked Dan,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. After making the templates installing was easy. The Albums are even in a secure site with ssl.

Hi David and Dan.

Thanks of sharing the info..I have 2 questions...I am a new linux user using SME 5.6 and gallery 1.3.3

In the template fragment, should


be


I tried and got a blank page

#-------------------------------------------
# Gallery 1.3.3
#-------------------------------------------

Alias /gallery2 /opt/gallery2


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all


Secondly...say you set up 4 gallery's 1-4 for 4 virtual domains...how would you stop domain 1 from "going" to domain 4's gallery other than changing the word or numbers of the gallery. In other words:

www.domain1.com/gallery
www.domain2.com/gallery2
www.domain3.com/gallery3
www.domain4.com/gallery4

Domain4 could enter www.domain4.com/gallery and end up in domain1's gallery right? or have I done something wrong.

I am off to gallery pages to read about this...but short term, I am thinking of changing gallery 1-4 to 4 different names just to make it less obvious, if it will work.
www.domain1.com/gallery
www.domain2.com/photos
www.domain3.com/pictures
www.domain4.com/images

Paul,
Question 1:
 I'm using SME 5.12 and haven't tried it on 5.6 yet but I will be as soon as 5.6 comes out of beta. I have a new server just waiting to show off it's Dual PIII's.
Question 2:
To keep people out of each others albums I used this how-to for security. I didn't want to have to add "users" with full accounts. When ever a new users want access I use putty and remote in to add the user.
http://www.star-support.com/downloads/mitel/howto/website-access-security-howto.htm . Worked for me.
Hope this helped. Dan, have you tried this on 5.6 yet?

David

[Terry Brummell]

David, 5.6 is out of beta...

Thank you David. I had not planned to password protect each gallery, but now I see how that option would work. I guess this is where the I-bay/gallery modification comes in?

Start showing off your dual pIII's 5.6 is prime time

[David W]

I'm off today due to ICE in Atlanta. So, I might just get my new server up and running. My 5.12 machine has been running since that ver was released and haven't had any problems. 150 days with no reboot. Now my Windows boxes at the Office, thats a different story! Patch after Patch, it never ends.
