Frist off, sorry if this is a dup, I could not find any post like this. Issue: I am running out of space on my hosting company, how can I run the gallery/albums from my main web site, but have it pull all images/albums from another server. Again sorry if this a duplicate. Thanks for any help. |

I've got the same problem in that I only have got 50 MB CGI space with my provider and 250 MB webspace on another server. The problem is that Gallery in my view has been written in such a way that it's not very easy to store your pictures on one server, and access them from another - should you wish to use all functionality of course! I am trying to find a way myself and if I'm successful (one day...) then I'll definitely share it here. If anybody else has tried (successfully or not) could he/she share his/her views in this forum and perhaps we can learn something from it!? It's becoming more and more of a standard for ISPs to allocate a separate hosting space for CGI. Worst case you'd have to go to http://gallery.sourceforge.net/wiki.php?page=Web%20Hosting%20Referral%20Page to select an alternative provider - which I'm also considering. Other alternative (more time consuming though!) is set up your own Linux server if you have 24x7 internet.
