Gallery Problems With Fantastico

[jayc]

I have installed coppermine though Fantastico, and with a couple of teething and operations problems it seems to work ok.

 

I need to set up a photo gallery on another website and throught I would give Gallery a spin, mostly because I feel it is more feature rich.

 

I intstalled Gallery 2.0.2 through Fantastico however when I attempted to create an album I got a permissions error.

 

I was able to resolve that by searching the Gallery support site and then changing the locking system from file to database, this resolved my original error message, but now I get other permissions errors when I attempt to create an album or upload a picture.

 

Warning: unlink(/home/aerocom/public_html/photo/g2data/cache/module/albumselect/0/0/_vti_cnf/0.inc): Permission denied

 

At this point I am yearning for the simple life so I see my choices as:

 

1. Assume that I made a mistake in using Fantastico for the install, remove the installation and try again

2. Assume there is something weird going on with Fantastico/Gallery on total choice, remove the installation and do a fresh install outside of Fantastico

3. Take the path of least resistance and give these folks Coppermine instead of Gallery, even though Copper mine does not seem to offer the features that Gallery does.

 

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who was able to do a Gallery installation through Fantastico and go on to be able to let folks use gallery

There was another user having the same problem.

 

I have only done a manual install of Gallery2 and not through Fantastico. But it seems that file and folder permissions are not being set correctly using Fantastico.

 

If you follow the installataion instructions for Gallery you should be able to change the permission on your folders to get them to work. It may take a trip to the help desk if you don't happen to own the files and can't change them.

Bruce,

 

Thanks, now all I have to do is track down a free version of Gallery to download, was checking their website and it did not jump out at me, I noticed that IPB has stopped offering a free version, and fear that Gallery may have gone the same route.

 

Charges seem modest enough, however I like to see what I can get done using pure public domain packages.

 

Thanks again

Look at the download page for version 1 or 2

I've installed Gallery from Fantastico several times into a testing domain and haven't had any of those issues you mention. I did have a huge problem though when updating to the new gallery with the original installation there, ended up loosing the database and access to pages. Wasn't a problem just deleted the whole thing and started again.

 

I use Coppermine as I find that as the most straight forward for my use and upgrading has been relatively painless each time, although a couple of updates ago, I didn't realise they had changed the way they treat themes and I hadn't updated the theme, so it didn't work correctly. But is now.

 

I've looked at all the gallery software that fantastico has, and keep going back to Coppermine.
