I have uploaded the gallery to my server and run the config script. I read that the script works "BEST" with npb version 9.9 however and that if it was not available we could use magikImage. I have version 9.16 of the npb and all three updated versions of magikImage on my server (http://www.ez-web-hosting.com). My system tells me when I upload an image to the gallery that it can not make a thumbnail. I have installed manually jhead as prescribed and yet this is still not happening. I get everything else but no images thumbs or regular.

Heeeelp!

Ok John..are you saying your webhost has these installed on their servers? netpbm and imagemagik?

If yes, then you need the path to them...ask your server what the path is to netpbm and put that path in your config.php file that was created in the modules/gallery folder.

If they do not have them installed or you are skeptical on if they do or not, try installing the binaries yourself.

All you need to know is what kind of OS your server runs, i.e. Linux, FreeBSD...etc.

You can get the netpbm binaries from here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=7130
right below where it says netpbm-gallery

download the appropriate file according to your server's OS.

Then extract the contents. Make a folder in your root directory of your FTP called netpbm and upload all the netpbm files to it. Then CHMOD them all 755 so gallery can execute them.
Then change the path to your netpbm binaries in the modules/gallery/config.php file to Your path to netpbm
should be something like this

Yesw Mike, my host server (ez-web-hosting.com) has conmfirmed that they have installed the netpbm version 9.16 on the server and the config script in the gallery is recognizing magikImages. I was missing the jhead script and downloaded that and installed it manually in the gallery root directory via FTP and chmod 755.

When I ran the config script I left out the netPBM line as it was written that the gallery program preferred the version 9.9 of the netPBM script adn that it could utilze the magikImages script instead.

That is where I am at at the mean time. I will try I guess the install of the binaries on my side and see if that works or is there a chance I have done something wrong and it should be working with the version 9.16 of the netPBM?. Again thank you.

For Windows all in one bundle.15.1 MB

netpbm-10.9.zip
InstallGalleryRemote.Win32.VM.zip
gallery-1.3.3.zip
update.gallery.remote.1.01b2.zip
Download
[here]

You actually DO NOT need jhead to run Galelry, but you do need imagemagik or netpbm binaries...You need to knwo the path to NETPBM from your Weserver host provider.

I have the path however it still is not performing the either the upload if the images or the creation of the thumbnail. I notice too that the upload window appears and the two computers are getting the arrows back and forth but then that is as far as it goes. I let it run ten minutes one time just for laughs.

I use gallery remote to upload my images. I'm not sure if it too requires netpbm, but I have it too. It's real important to get the path right to netpbm. Be sure to get all the slashes correct. With gallery remote you don't need Gallery's add pics function. Be sure to upgrade it (it's in the bundle I provided) Use the newest versions of everything.

Then your path is wrong.

You need netpbm or Imagemagik to work with Gallery and the remote, just to clarify..both use the upload and thumbnail generation process of th netpbm or Imagemagik binaries.

Try manually downloading the netpbm's and install them yourself as I specified in my post above..you're wasting too much time on trying to get it to work with your servers files..obviously your path is wrong or they gave you the wrong path or they don't have them installed.

Guys .. anyone ran into this before.. I have installed gallery now on 4 different sites and it went painless.. but I now have one site that resides on the same server and i get this message..

Apache is not obeying your .htaccess file. Try entering the following into your web server's httpd.conf file: AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

I thought I read someone else had problems installing gallery while using
eXtreme Analys v0.60? Out of the 5 sites it's the only one using it..
any idea's if this is causing me problems now? :roll:

FIXED

reworked the .htaccess file and now its works ..
