Judging by the experiences with yahoo hosting, I'm sorry I recommended it to a person I designed a site for. Regardless... here's my problem which doesn't seem to have been brought up before. I did a fresh install with their control panel. Uploading "from local server" yields the same result, but... "From Web Page" upload does work - the photo is added. Hmmmm. Permissions are 755 on my g2data folder. Here's my system information: Should I attach my debug output? I don't see anything that screams "error!" |

FAQ: Why can't I upload big files (over a megabyte or two)?
you can check your phpinfo file to see the limits.

The test image I tried to upload was only 5k.

yep, php config looks fine.
and the screenshot shows a weird state.
can you please try g2.1.2 instead of g2.0.2?

I'm going to jot down what I'm doing as I go along... maybe somebody else might find it useful.
I'm going to remove the yahoo installation and start fresh.
I deleted the directory yahoo made, and installed phpMyAdmin with the control panel and dropped the database.
If anybody else does this, don't forget that you loose everything. There's no upgrade build to go from yahoo's old version up to 2.1.2.
I grabbed the latest mimimal build of 2.1.2, unzipped locally, and uploaded by ftp.
(Damn this is slow. I wish you could untar with the control panel.)
Hmm... ftp won't allow .htaccess files because they start with a period. No problem - Valiant explains it here:
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/30903
I'm following along with the installer guide - "Installing Gallery2", from step 2 here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:How_do_I_Install_Gallery2
Step 2, open the install directory.
Hmm.... I get this in the header:
Well that can't be good because I can't create the directory manually in the root of the virtual host directory because yahoo won't accept an underscore.
Hmm... phpinfo says session support is enabled.
Let's push the "Continue" button anyway.
Step 3, create the login.txt. Ok.
Huh? Ok. Try it again. Maybe I didn't save the .txt file or something dumb.
Oh.
Hey, now that's just darn polite of you to offer. Let's try that.
Frig. Let's try google.

Ok. I'm not getting safe mode errors, I'll clear my cookies and try again.
Frig again. A guy in here says to try starting the installer over again:

Let's try that.
Sigh. I'm off to google-land, but I'm not hopeful.

there's your problem.
it looks like yahoo's session support isn't configured correctly.
in install/index.php (or upgrade/index.php, depending on what you're doing), add
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('session.save_path', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../phpsessions');
right after <?php
and then create a folder phpsessions in your gallery2 folder and chmod it 777.
hope that helps.
don't forget to delete that folder again, never expose sessionIds in the web, it's a security risk.

Good eye, Valiant. That helps.
It was trying to write to the server root, huh.
I made it past the next few steps.
At the database setup, I use mysql as the db host name - not "localhost" as is the default.
Gallery is installed, images upload, my previous problem doesn't happen. All is well. Thank you!!!
