Hello,

I have successfully installed gallery onto a Mitel 5.5 server. All seems to function correctly except the photos don’t display. I only get a blank picture with a small x in the top left corner. It functions ok as when you click the thumb is tries to display the full picture but with the same results. Could anybody advise on the logs/FAQ no./error messages to check etc.

Thanks

Grant

When you ran the config script, it sounds like you didn't properly specify the URL or path to the albums directory. Double check those settings.

If you still can't get it to work, post the URL to your Gallery install, and someone can take a look at it.

I've got the same problem and I already checked the configuration twice. Any other ideas?

thanks, gerd.

Right click on the broken graphic and select properties. Make sure there isn't an extraneous / or misspelling that is causing the path to fail. should be someting like:

<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE> http://foo.bar.com/gallery/albums/albumname/picture.jpg </TD></TR></TABLE>

I have been scratching my head... I successfully installed Gallery 1.3.1 on my server no problem, I am ecstatic when my photos works inside my network without a hitch.

What I couldn't figure out is why I can't get it to work outside of my network, like accessing it from the internet. Here is my URL http://rctdentist.myserver.org/gallery/albums.php.

I am running my server on my cable modem, got me a relay ISP since my ISP blocks port 80. I am running APACHE too.

THANKS! :???:

If you do a search you will find that the url you are trying to use won't work.
you have rctdentist.myserver.org, and that is a sub site, gallery expects to be in a dir like myserver.org/rctdenist/modules/gallery.

Thanks for the reply... But I am a newbie when it comes to Linux. How do I fix the issue.

Do I physically move /var/www/html/gallery/albums somewhere else?

I don't believe that your problem has anything to do with the location of Gallery on your filesystem.

The problem is that Gallery expects to know its full URL. You're telling it that the URL is http://rctdentist.myserver.org/gallery/albums.php, but that's really just a redirector which uses frames to make it look like the valid URL.

Your real URL is: http://68.8.43.11:8080/gallery/albums.php.

If you enter that into the config wizard, your Gallery will work properly. You can put a redirect page on the rctdentist.myserver.org site that sends people to the above URL.

You are a life SAVER!! That fixed it, now my gallery site is up and running.

For that, I will definitely DONATE $$ to Gallery, this is a neat php app. Now I am interested in learning php. Do you know what is the best route in learning this??

Thanks again and more POWER! :grin:

Check out the php documentation. Also, 'Learning PHP' O'Reilly Press is a good book written by Rasmus (the creator or PHP).

The docs can be found <A HREF="http://php.net/manual/" TARGET="_blank">here</A>
