Hello,

I've got a Problem with the export of pictures from F-SPOT to Gallery 2 (Version: 2.2.1 Kernel 1.2.0.1 - Version of Remote-Plugin: 1.0.9).

If I export pics to g2 I can select a Album (therefore a connection is established successfully to the server). But if I start the export I get the following error message:

Error Uploading to Gallery: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

In the logs of my webserver I can't find any entry for an Internal Server Error.

What could be wrong?

Thanks for your help

greetings

maus

I'm getting the same problem, coincident with upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2.1. I tried turning debug on in config.php, and didn't find anything in the log that looked useful, and looked through the Apache logs. No love.

An error 500 should be logged on the server somewhere. It's doubtful that logging in G2 or on the client will be of much use to discover the problem.

maus24: you should have an error_log for your webserver but I can't point you any further without: FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?

Also, this is not a problem with Gallery Remote so I'm moving it to the "Other clients and tools" forum.

As of 30 minutes ago, I upgraded from PHP 4.4.2 to 5.2.1. Both PHP versions exhibit the problem, but I'm leaving it at 5.2.1. Full phpinfo:

Gallery is located here:

There is really nothing useful in my error.log as provided by Dreamhost (where it's hosted). Just a bunch of complaints about missing robot.txt and missing.html.

I tried upgrading a few of my plugins, and temporarily disabling a couple (e.g. URL rewrite), to no avail.

I'll submit a support request to Dreamhost, because it might exist in some central Apache log that I don't have access to, rather than the possibly dumbed down version that's in my logging directory.

If you are getting an error 500, something will be in the error log that indicates this. See what you can get from Dreamhost.

I haven't heard back from Dreamhost, but I've solved the problem. I just upgraded Ubuntu from 6.10 (Edgy) to 7.04 (Feisty), which in turn upgraded F-Spot. So, upgrading F-Spot to 0.3.5 (from whatever the default in Edgy is) seems to do the trick.

Here what Dreamhost came back with: "It looks like the problem is that your user's processes are continually being killed off by our process watcher for bypassing the memory and CPU restrictions we have in effect. We have these precautions in place to prevent users from crashing the web server and adversely affecting other users. Please try to keep your memory usage under 50MB to prevent this from happening. You may want to check into implementing some type of additional caching mechanism or accelerator."

I'm running a stock Gallery installation with a few of the standard plugins. I'm not sure why older versions of F-Spot would cause greater server memory use than newer versions, but I guess I'll remain happy with the result.

Weird that new version fixes this. It may be that the newer f-spot doesn't use http pipelining and the old one did. Or who knows. I haven't looked at that part of f-spot code in a while. Atleast it's working now!
