Thanks...I didn't really suspect that 4.4.1 was the issue, but rather, the move to a new server and an update to 4.4.1. Regardless, I've done a fresh install, and things seem to be back in order...except that I have to repopulate my albums. I appreciate the input.

I believe so. In particular, I was checking the permissions of the image folders and files. Looks like the folders are the Gallery-recommended 755, and the files are 644. And, as a side note, I have the slideshow module installed. If I use it, the pictures show up just fine there.

Actually, server 16 never did get its PHP upgraded. Back when the PHP upgrading went through, server 16 was having some issues with the upgrade. I had filed a support ticket, and they informed me that it would happen, but even as recently as just over a week ago, I noticed it was still stuck at the old version. So PHP could be a problem, but I don't know if it is the problem. I'm using gallery version 2.0.1. And, honestly, it's just a site for fun, with very few photos, and I wouldn't mind just reinstalling it. But I'm just hoping this problem rings a bell with someone.

I had been on server 16. Following the recent move over to a new better server (many thanks, by the way), images no longer show up in gallery. I'm not getting any other noticeable errors...it's just that wherever there should be images, there aren't. I'll be happy to research this on my own, but I wanted to first find out if any Gallery users are aware of what might be the cause...perhaps it was the fact that PHP on the new server is 4.4.1, whereas it was, I think 4.3.x on server 16? Anyway, any advice would be welcome. Thanks

The latest Sunbird version does let you export items as a .ics file. I think you may first need to create such a file locally, upload it to the php iCalendar /calendars directory, and then do the necessary configuring so that Sunbird opens that remote file using the publish.mozilla.php script. Unfortunately, this is not all straightforward, and it does take some tinkering to get it all working. For me, it was worth the effort, as it allows my wife and I to keep separate work calendars as well as a combined "home" calendar, all of which we can both access using Sunbird. Feel free to e-mail me or send a private message if you want more information about how I managed to get all of this going.

If you install php iCalendar, it includes a php script named publish.mozilla.php In SunBird, you can tell it that you are using WebDAV, and then point it to the php file. Sunbird thinks it's WebDAV, even though it isn't. So, I use SunBird on several different computers, all of which access the same remote calendars using this php script. I don't save my calendars locally with SunBird. Instead, they just reside in my TCH web directory. It wasn't TOO bad getting it set up, but I did have to play around a bit to get all the file permissions set up just right. The documentation for it is available online. Hope this helps.

The latest release of Mozilla Thunderbird is now available here.

A security update has been released for Gallery, bringing it to version 2.0.2. No new functionality. Download it here.

Yes. It's open source, downloadable from sourceforge.net As an aside...iCalendar is good for displaying calendars. It's not for addding/deleting. I use sunbird to create items, which are automatically added to my iCalendar site. I can put Sunbird on multiple computers, and they all synchronize with iCalendar.

I have used php iCalendar, which I can synchronize with Mozilla's Sunbird. http://phpicalendar.net

One of the things you need to do is to enable FrontPage extensions. You do this by logging in to CPanel and clicking the FrontPage Extensions option.

Oops! Sorry, misread!

So, who lost? Me?

If you have Paint Shop Pro, it will do the job...but it's a pretty big install if all you want is to resize images. There are lots of free little programs that will allow you to do it...irfanView is decent. Also, if you go to microsoft's website and look up xp powertoys, you will find an image resizer that is really quite nice. You would NOT want to change to a .gif...keep it as a .jpg file. By the way, I just tried resizing one of your images, the dining room, to 320 by 240 pixels. It went from 1.25 megabytes down to 17 kilobytes, and the quality is still plenty good for the place where you have it on your main page. After you resize it, give it a new name, like smalldiningroom.jpg, and upload it to your directory. Then, replace the html in your main page to use the small jpg file instead of the big one.

Sorry to stray from your question a bit. It seems you got it sorted out...the site shows up, along with the pictures. However, each picture is about 1.25MB, meaning that anyone viewing your site over dialup may have to wait a couple minutes for the pictures to load. Consider putting scaled down images on the main page, and then linking them to the full-size pictures. Your page will load MUCH faster. Putting height and width attributes in your HTML won't make the files smaller. You need some image editing program to save smaller versions. Nice looking bungalow by the way!

I have a question, and I'm not sure this is the right forum for posting, so please feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if you need to. Anyway, what I was wondering is, is 57 the mystery number?

If you type your domain name, and press CTRL-Enter, it should take you to your site. Perhaps, your domain used to be the first returned by google, and now something else has moved into its place. So, while it seemed like FireFox was just putting .com on it for you, it was really just directing you to the first in its search results.

I've been in a similar situation. If you are willing, TCH-Bruce's suggestion is best, manually installing the software. However, if you want to do it all with CPanel, here's something I've tried, and it's worked, but your mileage may vary. 1. BEFORE you set up the subdomain, install the bb into a folder you intend to have as your subdomain. 2. Once up and running, rename that folder to something temporary. 3. Set up the subdomain using the same name. 4. Delete the folder that was automatically set up when you created the subdomain. 5. Rename the bb folder back to the subdomain name.

Glad it worked out. I can honestly say that this is quite an amazing forum. I have seen similar forums for other webhosts, and nothing comes close to the effort that the TCH community is willing to put into peoples' problems. Happy MySQLing.

Just tested to be sure. I used CPanel to create and populate a simple MySQL database. I used DWMX2004, and created a php file, best.php, to display the data in a table. When DW saved the file in my public_html folder, it also put a "Connections" folder in the public_html folder. IN that connections folder is another php file that gets included in the php code of best.php actsteve...here's something related to check. Using CPanel's file manager, find the php file that OUGHT to be connecting to your database. Go to "edit" that file, and find the "require_once" line of code, where it refers to another file. Mine says: <?php require_once('Connections/junkconnect.php'); ?> What does yours say?

And please, let me clarify, to those saying not to use localhost...because of the way DreamWeaver works...allowing you to edit locally and test remotely, localhost actually IS possible, without having a mysql server set up locally. It sounds like actsteve is doing the same as I do...edit a file in DreamWeaver, and "testing" by letting DreamWeaver upload to his TCH directory. Since what he edits, including the mysql connection, doesn't get tested or run until it's sitting in your TCH account, localhost will work just fine. So, true true true...don't use localhost if you are trying to connect to the db from your own computer, but since DreamWeaver is NOT (in these cases) connecting locally, but connecting from within the TCH-hosted site TO a db on the same TCH-hosted site, localhost does work. Really, it does.
