Hi guys, I recently found out that I had a lot of albums on a server, and wanted to get a gallery up and running again. beeen a long time since i have been doing this. here is the thread i started: I have a problem with some albums now; A lot of blank albums are showing up with no images in them, but I am sure the images are supposed to be there. Here are the errors I am getting; (highlight) Warning: stat() [function.stat]: stat failed for /home/piexnet/public_html/a/albums//album.dat in /home/piexnet/public_html/gallery-1.5.9/platform/fs_unix.php on line 145 any idea? |

Hi guys, Let me make sure I understand what you are doing... You installed or reinstalled the program Gallery 1.5.9 on a web hosting server and then you took your old photo albums and tried to get them to work with the program. If this is the case let me know and I can tell you what I did to get my Gallery to work. |

Ok,,, Here is actually how I did my install. first I uploaded all the Gallery files to my main Root (Public_Html) into a folder I made called gallery. Once I did that I made a folder called tmp and put the permissions at 777 I also made a folder called "netpbm" with permissions at 755. This folder will have you netpbm binary files in it once you upload them later. I then took my albums folder and uploaded it to the Gallery folder on the server (if your photo albums are not in a folder called "albums" then make one and put all your individual albums in it) make sure you give this folder 777 permissions. I would then go a head and download from the Gallery website all the netpbm binary files and then upload them to you netpbm folder but make sure you do this in a binary transfer. After that then go through the Gallery Config wizard and set everything up as needed. By the way once you get everything going you may have a thumbnail issue for new photo albums you add later.... Just FYI |

Hi, I can not really follow you guys ;-) Quote:
stat failed for /home/piexnet/public_html/a/albums//album.dat As you can see, there is a double / which indicates that the album name is missing. First i like you to this: This file is only for caching and will be rebuild. After that, please log in as admin and go to the admin area. Jens |
