Everything in wizard going to plan except for Netpbm files location. Have put in correct location, CHMODded correctly, etc but error message keeps coming up on last page of config wiz.

Netpbm files are minimum only, not full pack.

Any ideas? Going out of my mind here! Be kind, I'm a newbie folks.

Cheers. :smile:

Hmm, not terribly much to go on..
try browsing to the diagnostics.php page in the setup directory
and see what happens. Also, just verify that you are inserting the
full path to the directory containing the netpbm files and that the
httpd user has read/execute access to them.

I have set permissions, and entered correct location - The first things I did. I've trawled help pages, FAQs, Forums - list is endless. This is the error message:

$gallery->app->pnmDir = "/NetPBM";
Error: I can't find NetPBM at the location you provided. Gallery prefers NetPBM version 9.9 and up. You can install just the binaries Gallery needs from Gallery on SourceForge or, you can compile and install the entire NetPBM package from NetPBM on SourceForge. Note: You can install the binaries from the Gallery site even if you don't have root access on your box!

I've tried several galleries ove the last month, and all have had some problem or another so I really want to use this one as am sick of downloading them! Lol. Also, this gallery's layout is nice, and I like the overall look and feel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, if that is what you are using for a path, then that is problem the stem
of your problems. You need an absolute path, not a relative path from the
Gallery installation. As an example, if you installed the netpbm binaries
in /var/www/htdocs/gallery/netpbm, then you need to specify that entire
path in the pnmDir variable. Not sure if you tried that yet, couldn't tell
by what you said.
