Hi, I just installed the latest version of Gallery yesterday. I hope I'm not beating an old horse here but is there a way to perform a mass upload? When I tried to use the local server option I got this error message " The webserver does not have permissions to read that directory." I'm a complete noob to this. How do I change permissions? Also, can I ftp directly into my Gallery folder on my server? If so, what folder do I ftp my pictures into? Thanks for the space |

galelry remote, upload applet, add from web, and add from local server are all mass upload methods.
add from local server is the only method to add albums recursively.
and as the message " The webserver does not have permissions to read that directory." says, there a problem.
please tell us which path you entered and please post a phpinfo link.
also, make sure you don't use mod_security or SELinux.

When trying to use the Upload Applet I get this error message, "The upload applet relies on a G2 module that is not currently enabled. Please ask an administrator to enable the 'remote' module."
How do I install this missing module?
Sorry, I have ZERO idea how to use php let alone post a link from it. Can you tell me where to look? Thanks.

site admin -> modules. if it's not listed, you gotta download it from the download page of this website.
so you've given up the local upload method?

OK, I found the module to install the Upload Applet but according to the page the Applet is already installed and running. Soooo, I deactivated it and reactivated it and still doesn't work.

OK going back to my other question. Can I use a simple FTP program to upload pics into my Gallery? If so, what folder do I import into?
Posts: 32509
yes, but you then have to use add from local server to add pics from the ftp folder.
you should use ftp to upload to a directory which is NOT (read NOT
) in g2data/ .
without a phpinfo page, i can't help you.
see FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?
for instructions on phpinfo.

ok, this is getting frustrating. I tried to make a infophp file but I have no idea what to do w/ it next! I uploaded the new php file to my Gallery folder BUT NOW WHAT?
That FAQ you provided doesn't tell me what to do w/ it next? Help.

post a link here to your phpinfo.php file. else i can't view it.
what i'm looking for is the setting for open_basedir

had to search the correct url, the above is wrong, the correct one is: http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/phpinfo.php
the php settings look all good.
what path did you enter?
did you make sure that the directory is readable by the webserver user?

That might be my problem. How do I do that?
Posts: 32509
what path did you enter? please answer this question. i could tell you instantly if the path doesn't make sense.
is the webserver on your own computer or on a remote server? i guess the latter.
use your ftp program to connect to the server and rightclick on this folder you entered to change the permissions.

this is the directory I'm trying to get Gallery to upload my pics from. As of right now there's nothing in it and I granted full access to everyone.

what path do you enter, tell me exactly what you enter in the "local upload directory" input field.
and how did you grant access, with FTP?
Posts: 29
http://www.killairbrat.com/Media is what I exactly typed into the input field.
I changed access using my FTP client (SmartFTP).
Posts: 32509
see, if you told me that earlier when i asked, this would have been resolved in notime.
you shouldn't enter an internet address (URL). it asks for a path.
something like
/home/airbrat/killairbrat.com/Media
Posts: 29
what do I need to set the permissions to on that folder?
Posts: 32509
so you entered now:
/home/airbrat/killairbrat.com/Mediaand you still get the "can't read" message?

ARRGH! First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help. I used what you suggested and it worked like a champ! When I went back to the Upload Applet tab I still get this error message: "The upload applet relies on a G2 module that is not currently enabled. Please ask an administrator to enable the 'remote' module."

Nevermind, IT WORKS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Doh!
What does this mean? Gallery Remote can find no protocol implementation at the URL http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/. Check with a web browser that http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/ is a valid Gallery URL.
Posts: 32509
that means your remote module is probably not installed and activated.
site admin -> modules, look for the remote module.
Posts: 29
Yeah, it is installed and activated.

When using Gallery Remote what should the default directory be? The error message I'm getting is
Gallery Remote can find no protocol implementation at the URL http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/. Check with a web browser that http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/ is a valid Gallery URL.
Posts: 32509
http://www.killairbrat.com/Gallery/ is correct, read the faq entry i linked. more i cannot do.

If I give you access can you see whats wrong?
Posts: 32509
i could check if i can connect with GR to your G2. more i couldn't do.
Posts: 29
Why would I get a protocol error message? Does GR need to be in standalone mode?
Thanks again for your help.
Posts: 32509
GR should be in standalone mode, yes. since your G2 is not integrated, these modes are only applicable to Gallery 1.
choose standalone mode in Gallery Remote.

Now I keep getting an "Unknown Host" error message.
