Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to install multiple gallery's onto my server. I host multiple sites and a few of them want it. Is there a way to give them all there own individual gallery? Oh, and does anyone know if there are any gallery2 .deb packages? Thanks! Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard). |

You can put a copy of the /gallery/ directory in everyone's virtual host. You will also need to give them all their own /albums/ directory as well of course.

And there are no G2 .deb packages (yet). It's still in Alpha you know

You mean just make a gallery directive in my apache.conf for each virtualhost? and then create a directory called albums in each users web direcotry?

There is no Gallery "directive" Just use a separate copy of Gallery, and a separate albums directory, for each user.

alindeman, there is in Debian.
Yeah, copy that part to the vhost config, if not all calls to /gallery, no matter which vhost, will redirect to the first installation from the debian packages.

n3o_X, no, you will need to install the "official" gallery tarball from this site, in every users webdir.

ok, then y do ineed to add the directive for /gallery/>?

You need it in each vhosts config, if not the one in httpd.conf overrides it and redirects all calls to /gallery to the debian install.
You also need to set the correct path in each vhosts config.

Ok, this is what i have as my directives in my httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /gallery /usr/share/gallery
<Directory /usr/share/gallery>
and then I put the .tar.gz of gallery into the folder i wanted and decompressed. When i go to the gallery site that i have set up though, it still directs me to the main one i have.
Any Idea?

Sure, you need to add it to the vhosts too, or remove that redirect. Frankly, the best way to run multiple Gallery installs on a debian box, seems to be to not install it from the debian package in the first place.

well, the scripalias stuff i posted above, is in the virtualhosts

The guy whos name I don't remember as I am typing this is dead to rights. Uninstall that debian package and remove any references to the /gallery dir from apache's config files or vhost files.
Once your vhosts are working properly, just untar a copy of the /gallery dir in EVERY single vhost and give EVERY single vhost its own /albums dir. This is the simplest way and requires no special configuration of directives, conf files or aliases.

Lol, alright... another small quesiton... Im working on the /skel/ directory now, can i untar gallery there.. and whenever i create a new web user.. it will just move gallery to there folder? or will it mess it up?

if you move it, you move it. You can copy it, and re-run the config and then enter the correct paths in the config.

Ok, so ive done all of this.... But im getting these errors:
Warning: Unknown(): open(/var/lib/php4/sess_2a751f841f8de107ba90a0c728ff756e, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php4) in Unknown on line 0
Are these gallery errors or my php setup errors?

And you still have the aliases and the debian package? That would explain it, I guess. Start from scratch with the tarball package from this site (you can keep already made albums)

I did, no debian package ever touched this machine at all... its all tarball

Then something must be wrong either your vhost setup, or you didn't reconfigure the copied Gallery with the new URLs and paths.

what do i need to add to the <virtualhost> settings in my httpd.conf?
Posts: 13451
The apache settings for that vhost. Mine looks like this:
Posts: 19
Yes, i have that.. my vhost looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/kgirdler/www
ServerName kgdesigns.arctichosts.com
<Directory /home/arctichosts/www/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI -Indexes
SetHandler cgi-script
AddHandler cgi-script pl
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /home/arctichosts/www/cgi-bin
</VirtualHost>
Now do i need to put a directive for gallery in there?
