Geeklog Forums

i have installed it but when i am going to add media and do so and check out if it has work it work but i cant see the picture ?? why is that have any one been there

There are a couple of things to check..

First, check the Geeklog error.log file (there is a link under Admins Only -> Media Gallery -> Log Viewer) and see if there are any errors.

Second, make sure you do not have moderation turned on for the album, if you do, then the uploads are going into the moderation queue for that album.

When you upload, do you get a "File uploaded Successfully" message?

Thanks!

yea i get that message

and this is what i see when i have configured my mediagallery

GD Libraries v2 Installed
Media Gallery Directory Structure dont see anything here ??
Media Gallery Directories OK
PHP php.ini settings dont see anything here ??

OK, I am willing to bet that your host/sever is running under Windows. There is a permission problem with the directories public_html/mediagallery/mediaobjects/* - These directories below the mediaobjects/ directory must be writable by the web server. Can you check to make sure these are writable, if you can't, can you ask your hosting provider?

Thanks!

yes the server is windows and im hosting the server my self.So how can i fix it to be writable ?? sorry im noob in this but willing to learn what should i do

im hosting the server on my own computer at my home..

Well, my Windows administration skills are not that strong, but let's see what we can do...

First, are you running Windows XP, Server 2000 or Server 2003?

You can try right clicking on the folder for mediaobjects/ and see if there is a Security tab, if so, make sure you grant the user the web server runs under write permissions. Some folks will just set EVERYONE to have write permissions and that will certainly solve the problem, but it will allow anyone that has access to the system to make changes (including deletes) that those files in those sub-directories.

On a standalone XP box, I don't normally see a Security tab when I right click, so I'm not exactly sure how you would change the permissions if that is the case.

Sorry, I'm not much of a Windows admin, now in Unix I can tell you how to fix it easily, but that really doesn't do you any good

got it to work !!!! THX you are the best THX yeah

hmm can you check it out for me so you could tell me what you think ???

It looks like you may need to update the permissions on the mediagallery/mediaobjects/orig/ and mediagallery/mediaobjects/tn/ directories too. The disp/ directory has the proper permissions since those are being created, but the orig/ and tn/ need to have write permissions too.

One other thing you might want to try, I have a development version (currently at v1.3.4) which has a ton of new features and I have rewritten much of the upload routines to give much better feedback if there is a problem on the upload (including the permission problems). v1.3.4 has been out a while and I have not heard of any stability problems, several folks are running it in production. It is available at the Media Gallery support site (http://www.mediagallery.org).

You might consider giving it a try.

Thanks!
