Hello
First, thanks a lot for this great app, it's symply the best i've ever seen :smile:
But it's pretty hard too install (it was a realy fight with the chmod commands, but I think I finaly won :wink: )
Now my problem concerns Netbpm : I corectly uploaded the binaries (the redhat ones) on my server, I gave them the execute autorisation, but the configuration wizzard keeps on telling me that it can't find the netbpm file ... Hu, did I miss something ?
Thanks for your help, that makes me crazy !

You shouldn't have to put them in your cgi-bin directory, but I'm glad to hear you got it working.

Gallery's hard to install because it does so much shit. Little piddly apps are easy to install :smile:

Guess you should place them everywhere you want in your web gallery directory ...

My guess would be anywhere in your PATH. I put mine in the WinNT/System32 directory, and told the script that's where they were. No problems.

Hey guys

still have problems

This is the value within the config wizard
$gallery->app->pnmDir = "c:winntsystem32";

this is the message

Error: I can't find NetPBM at the location you provided. Gallery prefers NetPBM version 9.9 and up. You can install the entire NetPBM package from NetPBM on SourceForge or you can install just the binaries Gallery needs from Gallery on SourceForge. Note: You can install the binaries from the Gallery site even if you don't have root access on your box! If Gallery does not have the specific binaries for your hardware/software combination post a request On the Gallery website and we'll build them for you.

I dropped .dlls into system32 and still cant get this configured right. Any ideas
