Folks,

I have tried to run "Refresh capture dates" many times over the last several days (see system config below). Each time, it starts counting the images as it refreshes, and it stops at a different place each time. For example, today I tried refreshing six times, and it stopped on photo number:

1190
1225
1245
1185
1110
990

out of 6,394 images. I have optimized the database and cleared the cache, but no help. Can you help me?

THANKS!
BHM

probably a exif library bug and it sucks up all your available memory.
maybe it's fixed in the latest nightly snapshot of g2, maybe not.

I went through the "upgrade" procedure, but there were no new upgrades available. What now?

I just ran the URL conflict tool, and it took eight tried before it ran, each time it got a through a few more URLs. Interestingly, it quotes the total number of URL's as 6639, whereas the refresh date tool shows 6394. Maybe the former includes directories and the latter doesn't.

My latest attempts to refresh dates stopped on the following records: 935, 1150, 1190, 1190, 1180, 995, 1175, 1165, and 1090. Anybody have a hunch what's wrong?

Thanks,

Ben

Valiant, thanks for your help. I looked on my site for a file called info.php and couldn't find it. The site is www.benmorehead.com. Would you please tell me how to find info.php?

Thanks again!

Also, even if I found the info.php file, I don't know how to increase the php memory limit. Can you point me to a FAQ?

THanks,

Ben

This is the output from the "system check" module in upgrade:

PHP Version Success
FILE Directive Success
Safe Mode Success
exec() allowed Success
set_time_limit() allowed Success
Memory limit (40Mb) Success
File uploads allowed Success
Maximum upload size (20Mb) Success
Maximum POST size (8Mb) Success
Storage Directory Permissions Success
Gallery file integrity Success

Does that help?

Thanks,

BHM

please try the latest nightly snapshot.
your system information says you're using 2.0.2.
from jesse mullan's nightly snapshots page you can get 2.1.0- (click downloads in the upper right of this page).
