The following information is required to get an answer: Is the album empty because I am using 'preview dns' with godaddy? Anybody knows anything about that? $gallery->setConfig('baseUri', 'http://bananasgrenada.com.previewdns.com/gallery/main.php'); Thanks for help! |

Did you follow these instructions:

Yes I did.

Ah, I see. Get off of previewdns. They are injecting HTML and JavaScript into your page and that's going to break Gallery every time.

Thought that could be the problem. Will get the site live and then it should be fine.
Thanks!

Hi Everybody
now the site is live and the gallery is re-installed, using "reuse existing database tables" but it still shows:
This album is empty.
and I get an error:
WARNING: block core.NavigationLinks doesn't exist.
Heeeelp.... please.....

Looks like your changes are based on an old version of the Matrix theme. Compare your changes (under /themes/matrix/templates/local/) to those files that are in /themes/matrix/templates/. You'll need to apply your changes to the updated templates under /themes/matrix/templates/
Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

Do you mean I do not need the folder 'local' anymore?
Anyway I made the changes on the file:
local/theme.tlp
Still no album. Then I x-out the folder 'local', still no album.

Not that you don't need the local folder anymore, but that your changes are not compatible with the current code. To get rid of those errors, "x-out" the local folder. Then clear gallery's cache:
FAQ: How can I clear cached data?
Now it should be using the un-modified, current version of Matrix

Done all that the error is gone, but the album is still empty... I have up-loaded tons of pics... and followed the instructions.

Oh, wait. This rings a bell. Post a link to phpinfo:
FAQ: How do I create a phpinfo page?
I'm betting either there are smaller size limits on your uploads or the upload_tmp_dir setting for PHP is blank and nothing is happening (this doesn't happen often, but it does happen)

Ok done that, the file is here:

Are the files larger than 8MB?
Can you PM (click Write to author) me login details for your Gallery install?

No the images are not bigger than 500kb. Just sent you admin access. But do you need ftp? Anyway gonna send that too, one sec.

I created an album and uploaded an image without any problems. How are you trying to add the images?

Yes up-loading new images is fine. But I moved my images from the previous host and those make troubles. Those do not show. There are tons of images in the folder:
g2data/albums
If I have to up-load them again through admin, that gonna take me ages...

You didn't follow these steps then:

Not only do your permissions look off (which wouldn't cause them to just not show up), but then your database doesn't know anything about them. Run through those steps again and be sure to reuse the existing tables from your old database.

But I did! MOre than once and I was using 'reuse the existing tables from your old database'.
Are you still working on it? Now I do get an empty page:
error....

I haven't done anything with it recently, but I'll take a look

Your database server is down:
I replaced the hostname info with "YOUR_DB_HOSTNAME"
You'll need to contact your host. Looks like hostedresource.com is down completely. Are you getting your hosting directly from GoDaddy or from a reseller of GoDaddy services? Well either way you'll need to contact them.
How did you backup and import your old database?

Directly from them. Is this just temporarily?
As it said in the instructions - unless I got that wrong - I just downloaded all images using ftp and up-loaded them again using ftp.
This seems to become a nightmare....

That's not the database. See step 1 of those instructions:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_do_I_Make_Backups_of_My_Database
And step 5 for importing the old database.
The g2data is just your images (and some other files), but not any of the titles, descriptions, comments, summaries, view counts, etc.
If you don't have the old database anymore, you can still get your old images into Gallery. But let's see if we have to go that route first.

Ok I see! I still have access the old host and downloaded the database and up-loaded it. But something is still not working.
When I import the database is there anything else I need to do?
