Photoview-3.4 Requriements

[jgbiggs]

I am trying to install photoview-3.4 to evaluate it for possible use as a photoblog.

 

Here is a list of requirements:

 

* MySQL database (http://www.mysql.com/)

* PHP 4 (http://www.php.net/), compiled the extensions:

* MySQL database (--with-mysql)

* Sablot, XSLT processor (--with-sablot)

* DOM XML API (--with-dom and --with-zlib)

* Image Magick (will use /usr/bin/X11/convert)

 

This is the error I get when trying to set up the database from a script in the package.

 

Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library './xslt.so' - ./xslt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /home/foamdep/public_html/photoview/photoview-3.4/admin.php on line 29

PhotoView sanity check failed:

 

* Cannot connect to database on server 'Array' with user 'Array' (password not shown)

 

 

This is the offending line in admin.php:

 

dl("xslt.so");

 

I have already set up a database and a login/password and let the script know about per the instructions.

 

? Is TCH's php complied with the above options? Please confirm.

 

Thanks.

I found that I could run the following:

 

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

as a *.php script to determing the config options of php.

 

I got this:

 

'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--with-dom' '--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-wddx' '--with-zlib

 

So seemingly all the requirements are met.

 

Any other ideas?

when you set up the config to connect to your database the database name should be formatted like

cpanelusername_databasename

 

and the database username should be

cpanelusername_databasename

 

You must also assign the user you created to the database

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Currently the database name is foamdep_photoview and the only user is foamdep_photovie

 

Do they -have to- match? the username is missing the "w" due to a length limitation.

 

I am somewhat familiary with the set up of a mysql database on TCH, since I have done it for a blog in the past.

No, they dont have to match
