When you say, "The diagianostics are as the gallery starts up, it gives a run down of whats installed etc," do you mean when I initially upload the files and run the installation php? Or is there another way to "Start up" the gallery? So far, I have just directed my browser to the page on my site where I have it set up. I just installed it last night, it is the first php thing I have worked with, and am having trouble understanding some of the jargon and procedures. I am sorry to be a pest.

Thanks for yor help, turtle. Can I continue to impose? The documentation reads as follows: "Path to ImageMagick 'convert' utility (example /usr/bin/X11/) If you are using ImageMagick convert utility to resize you picture, you must enter the name of the directory where the convert program is located there. Don't forget the trailing "/". If your server is running under Windows, use / and not \ to separate components of the path (eg. use C:/ImageMagick/ and not C:\ImageMagick\). This path must not contain any space so under Windows don't put ImageMagick in the "Program files" directory. ImageMagick will hardly work if PHP on your server is running in SAFE mode and it is a real challenge to get it running under Windows. Consider using GD in these cases and don't waste your time asking for support in the forum. There are too many things that can prevent ImageMagick to work correctly and without a physical access to your server it is hard to guess what is wrong." A few questions if you can help: 1. Do I enter "/usr/local/bin/convert" or "/usr/bin" ....based on above, it seems like I need a trailing "/"? 2. Does TCH run PHP "safe mode"? 3. How does one "run" gallery diagnostics, like you did? Thanks for your help. I appreciate your time.

Forgive my slow learning curve ....The prompt asks for the path, do I enter "ImageMagick convert = /usr/local/bin/convert" or "/usr/local/bin/convert", or some other variation? Thanks for the help.

I am trying to install Coppermine. I note from the link turtle provides above to "Third Party" applications that ImageMagick is on our server. The installation script for Coppermine askes for the path to ImageMagick. Can anyone shed some light on what that would be?

I was searching around on the web and came across a program named "Web Album Generator". Anyone ever used it or heard of it? It looks like it may do the trick.

I have a really dumb question....are these programs already on the server, if not how do you get them on the server?

Sorry about the duplicate post. I wasn't sure where (under which forum heading) it should have gone.

I am trying to set up a online family photo album. I would like each photo to be a separate web page - I plan on having an index page with thumbnails, each of which will link to a larger photo of the thumbnail. I have a lot of photos. My questions is, do I have to manually set up each individual photo page, or is there some way to set up a template with variables (where the variables would be the image and a caption), and then use a merge type function to generate all the individual photopages (kind of like you can do with a word processing program where you have a form letter, and merge the names and address of the recipients)? Does this question make sense?

When i try to log onto my website, I keep getting the following error message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.hintzefamily.com Port 80 Any insight into what is going on?

Thanks for the quick replies. I installed the advanced guestbook. I see how you can change background colors, etc., but I use a background image on my site. can the advanced guestbook be modified to use a background image? Also, i would like to give it a title other than "Advanced Guestbook." I would like to personalize the title. Is this possible. How do you "Give write permissions to the webserver on the template files?" Thanks again. Russ

Hi - I am a newbie, so be kind if this is a stupid question. I want to set up a guestbook, and have. My question is this, can I customize the "look" of the guestbook so that it is consistent with the rest of my site? Russ

Rick, I tried the same thing with Navigator (clicked on one of the links on left) and the scroll bar worked - that is interesting. i wonder why?

Istover, Is there something i am missing. I have never used Netscape until today. I was checking out a CSS tutorial and the effect it was demonstrating did not appear on IE - the tutorial said that Netscape would be different, so i downloaded it - and it was different. I then checked out my own site with Nestscape and my CSS page was not working, so I played around with the link to the css page and got it working, but then the scroll button "closed down." The page were it works with both browsers doesn't uss css. What gives?

I hope that this isn't a stupid question - When I view the following website http://www.hintzefamily.com/photoalbum.htm with IE, the "scroll button" on my mouse will work and I can scroll by rolling that button. However, when I view the page with Navigator (7.0) the scroll button is inactive. Interestingly, when I view the following page http://www.hintzefamily.com/ with either IE or navigator, the scroll button works. What gives? Any heads up would be appreciated. thanks. Russ
