today in a tragic accident while filming a Documentary about Stingrays. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20349888-2,00.html Link to the Story. Very sad for those that knew him, his family and friends and also for the rest of the world in general. He was a great ambassador for Australia and bought a lot of information regading animals etc to everyone and had made animals much more interesting. Remember him and his family in your prayers.

If you have a look in the Joomla forums for this specific problem there are patches being posted to get other scripts and extentions to work again with the current release. A bit fiddly but better than not having things working. I wonder why they have done this, surely there must be a better way to handle it than just turning it off and breaking things.

Thanks for that Steve worked well.

Thanks Steve I will wait and see your reply back later on. Your at work, must work the late shift then. It is 10 to 10 am here in Sydney Australia. If you want to PM me with the info that would be great as well.

Did what you said to do with the global file but I still get the following message in Administartion Window after logging into Joomla Admin. Following PHP Server Settings are not optimal for Security and it is recommended to change them: PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF` Any further ideas. When the setting is set to 1, I get two messages displayed. Edit starts here Well after reading several pages of posts, it seems that TCH needs to turn this off for the servers running Joomla. Hopefully that will be addressed. Anyone else getting the above message after doing the Joomla update, or did you only get the one message ?????

I went through this looking at all of them, and kept comming back to Joomla as well and have it installed. Only thing holding me back further on development of the site is the up and comming change to Joomla and I want to learn just one without haveing to relearn it all again. I can wait. But installing through Fantastico is very easy and is especially easy to uninstall that way as well.

Gilk when you click on each of the fantastico items you get a box in the righthand side. In there is a link to the site that is for the script so you can get further info for them. Don't install the scripts in the route directory. You are installing Gallery, install it in a directory that is gallery, make sure you keep everything in lower case as well. I have installed all the scripts from fantastico and installed them individually into their own directories which worked well and without any errors. That way I could keep track of the directories for uninstalling as well. How many databases does your hosting package allow for you, maybe that is a conflict you are having with the gallery software. Also do use spaces in your naming as well, you can use _ to seperate words. Try not to use common naming either as that conflict with paths etc as well.

Osog, The first link page you posted in the above post I have to click on the button twice to get to contacto page and the page above, so it does appear ti be working in IE as it should. The image roll overs need to be activated to get them to work by clicking on each button.

Is it advisable to leave the config file on permanent writeable, or leave it as unwirteable and change it when you need to.

Thanks Thomas.

I'm currently redeveloping my websites to be Joomla style, you have to play around with it a bit to start to see the benefits of getting info up faster and easier then posting html pages, it is pretty straight forward once you work out the logics of how it does things and in what order to do the stages. After you do play around then next step is getting the theme you want your site to look like, which is always the harder side of web design. They are also redesign the whole of Joomla at present which might be 1-6 months down the track from being launched according to Joomla forums.

webgyrl, Just had a look at your site, one minitue it is white, next click it is green, then select a photo it is white again. Certainly is GREEN on one page, did I mention it was GREEN on one page. Also the last two images seem to have no thumbnails there.

True JimE, but from a user friendly point of view, documentation should always be included in any updates, which then stops hopefully, any painful episodes developing in forum discussions.

And there has been a newer release 1.4.8 today as well, fixing a security breach in 1.4.7, go figure. Lucky haven't upgraded to 1.4.7. http://coppermine-gallery.net/forum/index.php?topic=32413.0

Thanks Thomas for the reply. I basically unzipped it and uploaded using ftp as I thought that might be the way to go, a bit like coppermine upgrades. As it seems to be similar sourceforge involvements I was thinking along these lines. The patch package contains no documentation that I couls see. You would think that they would include a readme file in there, just as a reminder etc to upgrading procedures.

I've only just installed Joomla 1.0.8 so how do you install the upgrade to 1.0.9, I have downloaded the patch upgrade from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 do I just copy all the files in the zip file over to replace the equivalent files and directories in the Joomla cPanel installed version ?? Thanks for advice as always.

Does it only change when in Dreamweaver, what is it like when you preview in a browser.

You need a wireless network print server for the printers I think you can get something that does drives and printers these days. You connect them to that server (a bit like a modem/router) and everyone access through wireless connection, or in the case of the network cable connections through the wireless router. I can't think of what the actual device is called at present. A bit of work to setup and get running without any security problems with the wireless side of things, and everything is subject to how well the wireless signal is sent and received as well. I don't believe you will be able to get the scanner going that way though, that needs to be hardwired to the computer as far as I am aware.

Works very well and quickly from here in Sydney Australia. Probably find that something is broken from his connection along the line to your website using the ISP he has. They should get in touch with their ISP and discuss the problem with them.

You need to ensure the software running the wireless connection receiver is turned on to the same WEP and your wireless pci adaper, a bit like modems talking to each other. Also check in the firewall and make sure that you haven't got that turned on to disable connections. I have found that making the computers pci adapter that has the wireless card in, a static IP address makes mine work better than trying to have the transmitter end setup an IP address when you are trying to connect. Seems to have to do with timing out while the computer is firing up. Go through the setup methodically and don't assume that you have something set correctly until you check it. Also turn off the security to your wireless network whilst you setup the system and then turn it on once you have told the system that the IP address of the computer you are trying to get to access is allowed, otherwise you might just keep chasing your tail. Sometimes the aerials on the network cards aren't all that good either but by the sound of it, it should be fine.

I know Bruce saw that but that had already been done. I noticed that like me that he had done the same thing and installed a lot of the scripts to look at them and deleted them. But there was still stuff from the installs hanging around, like databases, files etc and addon script info. But I also noticed that there is info in the root directory at the level where public_html directory is showing and I think that the installation of the domain name is now confused about about where files are as they are in sevel places. I think it needs to be looked at by helpdesk and cleaned up to a near fresh domain install and starting again, doing it as I first suggested as have you, installing into a directory below the main domain and not doing a subdomain install, makes it much cleaner, tidier and easier to fix up as well. I do know the subdomain creates the folder, but it seems that he elected to try both ways and used the name the same and that has confused then installation and it is still maintined somewhere in the files on the domain. Make sense.

Addendum to the above post. After reviewing the file structure in cPanel for Dirtvoyels it would appear that there might be confilicting html pages at the root and public_html areas of the website. I think there is an inherent problem with the way that installations have been done and it has stired the pot too much. I have noticed that with Fantastico scripts that even though you tell it to uninstall packages it in fact leaves some stuff behind in cPanel filemanger and that can cause problems down the track especially with naming conventions of directories (read future installations). Will post more as time goes on. Just to sum up. I created a sub directory exactly as the intial user did in my test domain and installed coppermine into the root of that subdomain and it worked. But if you have a folder that is the same as the domain name i.e. photos then I think there is a confusion on the installation that is then not easily resolved. Well it is, you delete the domain and start again. Probably post some more about this later on today.

Ok what the problem has been is a two fold problem. One making a subdomain called photos.xxx.xxx.xxx and also having a folder under the domain xxx.xxx.xxx the same and trying to install coppermine. If you make a subdomain called photos it will show up in the syntax as photos.xxx.xxx.xxx but will in actual fact be stored in the domain as a folder so xxx.xxx.xxx/photos So installing to the subdomains root directory in actual fact installs to the directory under the domain name and is fooled by the cpanel software thinking it is a subdomain. If you already had/have a folder in there called photos and installed coppermine into that, then there is where the problem occurs. So moral of the story, don't name the subdomain as a name of a directory you already have in the structure. Call it Gallery.

Dan, I just tried what you have been doing, putting it in the root directory and need to know if you can see it. Tell me if you can see this. http://photos.testing.flashram.com.au
