Ahhh... ok, thanks Lisa.

I am running Pixelpost 1.3 (a photoblog script) and Gallery 1.4.4-pl5 (a photo gallery script) on my tch hosted website, both latest versions. I had some issues installing Gallery so I openned a help ticket. I eventually solved the problem myself and got it working. That was four days ago. Last night, I got this e-mail: " Hello, It has come to our attention that several older versions of the various blog software contains exploits and vulnerabilities. This is causing severe load issues on our servers. We are now requiring that all accounts using blogging software upgrade to the latest versions which contain patches and fixes for these vulnerabilities. In order to protect your account from these exploits, you must upgrade any 3rd party applications that you might have installed on the server. Please remember that we do not support any 3rd party software. Please make these upgrades immediately to avoid suspension of services. Thank you. Support Department TotalChoice Hosting " I'm scared, I don't know what to do. Is there a chance they'll suspend my website? I would appreciate any guidance from anybody out there on this one. -steve

Thanks everybody... I've solved it. It didn't have anything to do with PHP or security or permissions at all. My 'Albums URL' wasn't correct, even though my 'Albums Directory' was. My bad - sorry for all the drama. -steve

Thanks Bruce for the welcome. So I've openned to and received a response to my ticket regarding this issue. By the way, I've managed to resolve most of the warnings by finding and installing the scripts that were asked for, so there's no problem there. I still can't get my images and thumbs to show up when I upload an image. The response to my Help Ticket said: So my ImageMagick path is correct, and I'm using Gallery 1.4.4-pl5 (lasted version). I also came across this discussion which coincides with the response I received: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...showtopic=13717 Do I have any other options but to wait until Gallery's next build and hope they account for it? Has anyone gotten 1.4.4-pl5 to work on tch? -steve

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I've been following this topic and others like it for a week now and still can't solve the problem. I'm having the same problem as David, and upgraded to Gallery 1.4.4.-pl5 and still having a problem getting my images to upload. I just want to check to see if others are getting the same warnings I am on the Gallery Configuration Wizard (Step 1): --------------------- Warning Missing optional binary pnmcomp. Without pnmcomp gallery will not be able to watermark images, except you use ImageMagick and have the composite binary installed. 12 of 13 NetPBM binaries located. --------------------- Warning Missing optional binary composite. Without composite gallery will not be able to watermark images, except you use NetPBM and have the pnmcomp binary installed. 2 of 3 ImageMagick binaries located. --------------------- Warning I can't find jhead. If it's installed and not in the path of the webserver user that's OK—you can specify the path by hand on the following page. If it's not installed, you can install it yourself. Jhead is a public domain EXIF parser. Source, linux binaries, and windows binaries can be found at the jhead homepage. Can't find jhead --------------------- Warning I can't find jpegtran. If it's installed and not in the path of the webserver user that's OK—you can specify the path by hand on the following page. If it's not installed, you can install it yourself. Jpegtran is a free tool distributed by the Independent JPEG Group as part of libjpeg. Source may be found at the IJG homepage. Binaries may be found at the JPEG Club website or in the libjpeg package of Linux distributions. Can't find jpegtran! --------------------- Then it says, "Your installation passed with flying colors! Go go go!" I select ImageMagick and I point it's path to "/usr/local/bin". I searched the forums and everyone says it's the correct path. Then I go into Gallery Diagnostics: Check ImageMagick, and I get the same message David gets above: --------------------- Note: Your ImageMagick directory (/usr/local/bin) is not in your open_basedir list /home/movemen:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp The open_basedir list is specified in php.ini. The result is, that we can't perform all of our basic checks on the files to make sure that they exist and they're executable. If it mentions open_basedir then it's because your system is configured with open_basedir enabled. You should talk to your system administrator about this, or see the Gallery Help Page. --------------------- That's where I am right now. I've checked the Help Page and a lot of it's too deep for me to comprehend. Wondering if others have similiar problems and how they were ultimately solved. steve
