Gallery photos not displayed- ibay instal
« on: January 26, 2003, 02:01:54 PM »
Dear Terry Brummell or others

I posted this on the end of another thread but thought it may be better to start a new thread, apologies for double post.

I'm using a sme server v5.5u2
I just installed Gallery to an ibay following the HOWTO at http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/, v 1.3.2.
I have not applied the second fix Terry referred to re AllowOverride Options FileInfo
as I will not be using nested albums, and assume it may not be strictly necessary.
refer http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=15874.msg61284#msg61284
and http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=15874.msg61284#msg61284

Gallery appears to have installed OK, although when I run the setup page I do have some errors. It seems that these are optional and may not be neccessary to fix up but just want to check. Refer to errors below.

I can create albums and upload photos, but the problem I have is that none of the photos will display at all, either as thumbnails or full images.

The errors in the setup page are:
1)
Warning!
Apache is not obeying your .htaccess file. Try entering the following into your web server's httpd.conf file:


AllowOverride Options FileInfo


2)
Warning!
Magic quotes are on. Your webserver owner can turn them off by putting:
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
in your php.ini file

3)
Warning!
Either mod_rewrite is not installed or your .htaccess file is not enabled (see above). Either way, we'll have to use longer URLs in the Gallery. If you want to turn it on I'd suggest that you make sure that your .htaccess file works and then if it still doesn't work you may need to reconfigure and rebuild Apache with this flag:
--enable-module=rewrite

4)
Warning!
I can't find ImageMagick. If it's installed and not in the path of the webserver user that's OK -- you can specify the path to ImageMagick by hand on the following page. If it's not installed, you must install it. Gallery prefers ImageMagick version 5.4.8 and up. You can compile and install the entire ImageMagick package from www.ImageMagick.org. Note: They also have binaries available for assorted operating systems. If you can't get it working, try leaving the ImageMagick path blank and using NetPBM instead

The nice message at the bottom of the setup page said
Your installation has warnings, but life is short so let's GO!

I clicked on Configure Gallery and then entered the appropriate locations for my gallery, note that the Path to ImageMagick was left blank, then clicked on Album Defaults. The next screen looked OK so I clicked on Save settings.
The next page lists the settings as follows: (URLs edited out)


/* Version */
$gallery->app->config_version = 31;

/* Features */
$gallery->app->feature["zip"] = 1;
$gallery->app->feature["rewrite"] = 0; // (missing GALLERY_REWRITE_OK -- it's optional)
$gallery->app->feature["mirror"] = 0; // (missing mirrorSites -- it's optional)

/* Constants */
$gallery->app->galleryTitle = "Photo Gallery 1";
$gallery->app->pnmDir = "/usr/bin";
// optional ImPath missing
$gallery->app->graphics = "NetPBM";
$gallery->app->highlight_size = "200";
$gallery->app->zipinfo = "/usr/bin/zipinfo";
$gallery->app->unzip = "/usr/bin/unzip";
$gallery->app->use_exif = "/usr/bin/jhead";
$gallery->app->movieThumbnail = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery1/html/images/movie.thumb.jpg";
$gallery->app->albumDir = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery1/html/albums";
$gallery->app->tmpDir = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery1/html/temp";
$gallery->app->photoAlbumURL = "http://www.######/gallery1";
$gallery->app->albumDirURL = "http://www.######/gallery1/albums ";
// optional mirrorSites missing
$gallery->app->showAlbumTree = "no";
$gallery->app->cacheExif = "yes";
$gallery->app->jpegImageQuality = "95";
$gallery->app->timeLimit = "30";
$gallery->app->debug = "no";
$gallery->app->use_flock = "yes";
$gallery->app->expectedExecStatus = "0";
$gallery->app->sessionVar = "gallery_session";
$gallery->app->userDir = "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery1/html/albums/.users";
$gallery->app->pnmtojpeg = "ppmtojpeg";

/* Defaults */
$gallery->app->default["bordercolor"] = "black";
$gallery->app->default["border"] = "1";
$gallery->app->default["font"] = "arial";
$gallery->app->default["cols"] = "3";
$gallery->app->default["rows"] = "3";
$gallery->app->default["thumb_size"] = "150";
$gallery->app->default["resize_size"] = "640";
$gallery->app->default["fit_to_window"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["use_fullOnly"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["print_photos"] = "shutterfly";
$gallery->app->default["returnto"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["showOwners"] = "no";
$gallery->app->default["albumsPerPage"] = "5";
$gallery->app->default["showSearchEngine"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["useOriginalFileNames"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["display_clicks"] = "yes";
$gallery->app->default["public_comments"] = "yes";


I also ran the Gallery Diagnostics page, it reports:
php v4.1.2 and there is oodles of info displayed.
NetPBM appears OK, all binaries test as OK
ImageMagick reports 3 errors with binaries (I guess as I did not install this)
PHP session configuration reports an id as OK, although when I try to run this test again I receive the following;
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While trying to retrieve the URL: [no URL]
The following error was encountered:
Zero Sized Reply
Squid did not receive any data for this request.


If the other steps and fixing up the errors is required then I will do that, but is it really neccessary to fix them or are they only optional ?
Will any of the errors above be causing the images to not appear.
What have I done wrong to cause the images not to appear ?
It's not much of a photo gallery the way it is now !!
Any suggestions & help appreciated.

Thanks & regards
Ray Mitchell

It is Ok now. After a bit of reading of FAQ's I found this at: http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=GalleryFAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=4&categories=4+-+Troubleshooting+Gallery&parent_id=0#8

FAQ 4.25: I can successfully upload photos, but when I look in my album all I see are broken image icons. Why?
 
 You've specified an incorrect path to your albums directory in the config wizard.
You can fix this by re-running the config wizard and correcting the Albums URL value or you can edit the config.php file and fix the $gallery->app->albumDirURL variable.
 

I ran the setup screen again, changed the album location to something incorrect, then saved, then ran setup again and  set the album location to the original correct setting and voila, I can see images in my albums now ! Must not have set properly the first time ??!!
Thanks anyway folks.
