Guys,

I'd like to host some video on my gallery as well as images.

My host has the max PHP upload size at 2MB so i can't upload via the "add photos" form. It also doesnt work if upload them via FTP them use the option to import via ftp/http from the local server as i get loads of out of memory errors.

I can FTP the movies up to the server. Is there any way i can then get them into the gallery without having to use the add photos form. Even a manual sort of hack?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Well, you can use the local upload form, but modify the save_photo.php file
or whichever it's called and rename move_uploaded_file to fs_copy to try
to bypass the upload restriction.

Just Create a .htaccess file or if you already have one add the folowing to the file.

php_value post_max_size 50971520
php_value upload_max_filesize 50971520

That's for 50mb I just did a 30mb zip and it worked fine!

You can FTP all your files to the server then click on add photos and scroll down to "FTP images to a directory on your server then provide that path here! " then you can put the url or path to the folder and off you go.

Hope all this helps

No, it's not supposed to be blank. Try rerunning the config wizard and see if it gets something in it...

I didnt think it was normal...

My gallery is in the root of my web if that makes a difference... ie. / not /gallery

The only .htaccess files i can see are in the root which is blank and another in /albums/.users which just contains an allow/deny statement.

I've reran the config with no problems. Also, all the permissions on my gallery seem to work fine
