Error: HTTP POST Failed (HTTP 404 Not Found)

Okay, I've gone through the 4 threads with this exact error listed in them (none are current) and none helped. I checked the FAQ and added Gallery_Remote2.php to my server and forceGalleryVersion.n=2 to my local config file ~ didn't help.

Situation is that I have 2 seperate standalone G2 installations, both on the same rented server (though different accounts). They were working beaitufully (including Remote) for months. Never an issue. About 3 weeks ago GR on both my computers suddenly getting these error files. So I've downloaded the newest GR installs and installed them (2 different computers, both Windows XP). Always this error. I can log into the site fine, upload photos through Gallery fine and even through XP upload ~ but I like how Remote works FAR better than any other option.

Here's an excerot from the end of my local log file:

That's the stuff that I could see change. Anyway, if I could get a hand in what to look for (or post here for those more knowledgable than I), I'd be much apreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I too am unable to login using Gallery Remote and get the 'HTTP POST failed (HTTP 404 Not Found)' error.
I installed Gallery 2 for the first time yesterday. I can upload pictures through the gallery interface but it's quite laborious. Finding Gallery Remote seemed to be a great improvement but I can't get past this error.

<Later> I removed the file gallery_remote2.php and re-installed Gallery Remote and now it seems to work

Gallery_remote2.php is supposidly on the server, not that I've been able to find the sucker where it's supposed to be (root of the Gallery2 install). Didn't help me to move the file around, delete it, recreate it, use the example found in the FAQ, etc...

I think I'm going to try and update G2 on one of my servers and see if that helps the situation at all.... just don't have a whole lot of time to mess with stuff.

It was on the server. I had installed Gallery 2 in fantastico in CPanel. Apparently this didn't include the Gallery Remote modules required on the server so was advised on this site to create the file. I also tried upgrading Gallery Remote to the latest version but when that didn't seem to have any effect and then the access problems , I decided to delete the file I had created from the server and reinstall Gallery Remote.
While I can now connect and upload images, all my thumbnails appear as broken icons so I'm not home and dry quite yet. If you have any suggstions, I'd be glad to hear them.

Same problem. Applied no changes, wether on server- nor on the client-side. Tried to login from 2 different computers and even different internet accesses.
I hope somebody has an idea.

I found a fix for this problem, or at least for my manifestation of it.

Edit your preferences file (Windows users will find it buried in %homepath%\.GalleryRemote\GalleryRemote.properties):

Changes are outlined here.

Please note that you can not fix this just by pasting the change into your prefs file. You have to modify this entry to match the other content in the file.
For instance, if your profile name you're having trouble with in Gallery Remote is "MyGallery"

alias.0=MyGallery

becomes

alias.0=MyGallery
forceGalleryVersion.0=2

Note also that your entry might not read "alias.0", hence the usage of forceGalleryVersion.n=2 in the instructions (see link above). It would be really nice if the force option were added to the URL GUI in GR.

Hope this helps.

Sweet - got it working. Thanks a million SDedalus.

I, too, had the same situation as you. I recently installed Gallery Remote 1.5 b16 to upload photos, and, since my last successful upload in April 2006, I'm getting what you describe with Gallery Remote.

Additionally, the upload applet is throwing a "damaged jpegtran" error with a support link that (SURPRISE!) doesn't work. I can upload photos, but I get thumbnail and item build errors as described earlier in this thread.

Uploading via the single file form also fails now.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

Hello,

I've located the file on my computer and made the changes. Could you please clarify what it is exactly that I need to do now? Do I replace that file on the server as well?

When I looked at my code, it has a bunch of, '\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000' toward the top then finally at the bottom it has the code. One thing I did notice was that on some lines it said, 'glGalleryUrl.0=http\://example.com/path/to/gallery/$GALLERYFILE$'...I'm no coder, but does that look funny? example.com? Shouldn't it me my url?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WORKS FOR ME. THANKS
