abinidi Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I know from experience that nobody here bites, so I guess if it is wrong, at least you will be nice about it! Ok. So I have a number of websites, but we'll only talk about two of them for now. One is on server 40; the other is on 36. The site on server 40 has an option to install Coppermine if you click on the Addon Scripts link in cpanel. The site on server 36 does not have the Coppermine installation option in Addon Scripts in cpanel. This seems weird: Even though both cPanel logos say "cpanel X", when I look at the fine print below the logo bar, server 40 says "cPanel 9": and server 36 says "cPanel 10": (Why do you think that is? Was it an oversight when cPanel 10 was first released that was fixed later?) So I looked at the versions of cPanel being used, and on server 40, it says 10.0.0-RELEASE 146, and on server 36 it says 10.1.0-CURRENT 34. So in summary Server 40: Includes Coppermine Image says cpanel 9 in one spot, cpanel 10 in another is cPanel version 10.0.0-RELEASE 146 Server 36: Does not include Coppermine Image says cpanel 10 in both places is cPanel version 10.1.0-CURRENT 34 All this background information leads me to the following two questions: 1. Has Coppermine been excluded from the newest builds of cPanel or was this a mistake? If I install Coppermine on my server, will the ability to manage it from cPanel go away with later releases of cPanel? (Ok, that was more than one question, but they were all related...) 2. Can I get Coppermine installed on my site that is on server 36? How do I go about doing that? I hope you can make sense of this post... Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Hi, I can´t answer the cpanel questions, but you can always install coppermine yourself on the TCH servers even if they have no installers in cpanel. If you want, here is a tutorial. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 If Coppermine is missing in your cPanel please open a help desk ticket to support and they will get it added back on. Edit: Of course as Thomas says you can always download and install it yourself which would probably be better since it would more than likely be an older version installed from cPanel. cPanel pushes updates out frequently to the servers. Some may not be updated yet and that's why you are seeing different versions. Quote
abinidi Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 I wondered if the correct answer was going to be "log a ticket to the help desk." Aren't those guys (in the generic, gender-neutral sense of the word) great! They can do just about anything!! Quote
abinidi Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 The Help Desk had it installed on the server in less than 10 minutes from when I submitted the ticket. 10 minutes!! This is why TCH is by far the best hosting around. The only thing faster than the Help Desk is the free Family Forums. Wowsers. I love TCH. Quote
abinidi Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 it is on two of my servers (40 and 36) (at least, NOW, thanks to the help desk). It is a breeze to configure to. It installs itself into a top-level folder and prompts you for a username and password. Then you can just log in and start creating albums. It is really cool. However, I've noticed that it isn't on my server 76; I'll log a ticket there one of these days and ask for an upgrade. I'm not that interested in setting up a photo album on that site yet. Quote
Pendragon Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I just checked (Server 100) doesn't have coppermine as an add on script option either. I use my own gallery script though, so doesn't matter to me. Quote
stevevan Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Weezy: I've had coppermine on my main site since I started with TCH (almost a year ago), although it an older version. Hopefully this weekend I can get it updated as a new security release is out. As stated above, if it's not in your cpanel, contact the help desk. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I´m curious on which version of coppermine that is available through cpanel? Quote
TCH-Chris Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I believe CPanel is now having the version Coppermine 1.3.2 Quote
abinidi Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Ok, so I have installed coppermine using the script in add on scripts, but I can't upload files. Here is the error I get: >Warning: move_uploaded_file(./albums/edit/mHTTP_temp_6fa48f63.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/<username>/public_html/photoalbum/upload.php on line 1197 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpsp7Bdt' to './albums/edit/mHTTP_temp_6fa48f63.jpg' in /home/<username>/public_html/photoalbum/upload.php on line 1197 Note: I replaced my real username with <username>; b/c that is my account login with TCH. Any ideas? There are instructions on installing coppermine from scratch here: https://ssl.totalchoicehosting.com/supportd...ondetails&_i=34 It says you will have to know how to set file permissions, but never says what directories/files to chage permissions for, nor what to set them to. Any help available out there? Quote
whoahorse Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I cannot find coppermine in my cpanel. I did check under add on scripts. What a day I am having. LOL Weezy Quote
abinidi Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 I cannot find coppermine in my cpanel. I did check under add on scripts. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't have it on two of my cpanel accounts, and I opened tickets to the help desk. They had them installed in less than 10 minutes. Now I just have to get that permissions problem fixed that I discussed above. Any ideas?? Quote
abinidi Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 What?! You mean I have to actually READ the instructions!?!?!??? Dang! Ok. so when I went back and read the instructions, I found where the writer of the instructions said: - When everything is uploaded, chmod the following folders to 777:albums albums/userpics albums/edit include What they meant was: Set the permissions on the following folders: albums albums/userpics albums/edit include I'm not sure what 777 permissions are, and I"m using the FTP client built into Internet Explorer ( I know. IE. ), so I just FTP'd to those folders and I right clicked on them and in the Properties option, I checked all the boxes. Now I can upload files!! Quote

What the 777 permissions are is that anyone can read/write and execute anything in those folders. 4 = read 2 = write 1 = execute There number is actually a combination of the 4,2,1 three times. The first postition refers to the owner of the file/folder permissions, the second is the group permissions of that file/folder and the third is everyone else (world) permissions on the file/folder. Common permission settings: 644 - owner can read/write, group can read, world can read 755 - owner can read/write/execute, group and world can read/execute 444 - owner, group and world can read-only Quote
abinidi Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 So I guessed right. Cool. Thanks for that explanation!! Quote
whoahorse Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Is there a specific Cpanel version that has coppermine available? Weezy Quote
TCH-Rick Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 The Coppermine installation is not enabled by default. It can be enabled on a particular server through a Help Desk ticket. Cpanel added the option a few months ago and it was enabled on a couple of servers just to test. I still would suggest installing it manually. There are ocassionally problems with the CPanel installations and the version is generally not the latest version. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 As Bruce say above, cPanel pushes updates out frequently to the servers. Some may not be updated yet and that's why you are seeing different versions. which makes me believe that coppermine is a feature in version 10, which not all have yet. EDIT: Rick beat me with a correct answer. Thanks Rick. Quote
