Topic Title: Problem with adding photos by URL

My gallery is basically working ok. I tried uploading photos by using the URL method. I first created /tmp under the web parent path.

After submitting the URL by typing "tmp", the photo paths were displayed correctly. The I moved on and clicked "add files". A small windows prompted up and the it just turned blank. It didn't response.

Anyone knows how i can fix this problem?

Give us your Gallery/webserver information to get a faster answer.
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version: 1.3.4-pl1
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): 4.3.1
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system: WINXP SP1
Web browser/version (if applicable):

make sure that the directory is readable by all users (set perms to 0777 temporarily).
you'll also want to make sure you're typing in the whole URL, not just "tmp/", for example:
http://www.mysite.com/tmp/

Thx for the advice. I tried but it still could not fix the problem. As I am using WinXP, I think "0777" is not an issue. I typed out the whole URL. Somehow files under /icons/ were appeared as well.

Anyway, I picked a single file for uploading. The small window prompted up and it turned blank agan.

Re-run gallery/setup and turn DEBUG ON - then post the ERROR message that is generated here.

Also what Graphics Toolkit are you using? ImageMagick or NetPBM?

is the web server running on your XP machine? if so, is it apache or IIS?

I turned the debug mode on but I didn't see any error message. Would there be an error log or something?

To the graphics toolkit, I am using NetPBM and I didn't not install ImageMagick.

I am using WinXP with apache.

any input, anyone!?

Do you have access to your web servers ERROR LOG?

Does uploading single images work OK?

Yes, I've found this from the error log:

[Mon Sep 15 23:43:53 2003] [error] PHP Warning: (null)() [<a href='http://www.php.net/ref.outcontrol'>ref.outcontrol</a>]: output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used twice in Unknown on line 0

pnmscale: 0.000000 of bottom row stretched due to arithmetic imprecision

It wasn't working even if I uploaded one picture. I guess size should not be the reason to the problem.

Something is very weird, I uploaded a picture again with "Debug" mode on and all of the sudden it' was working and I was using the host machine. Then i turned off the debug mode and it worked too.

As for completeness, I tried that with another machine as well and then the same problem came back. I turned on the debug mode again, it wasn't working. Switched back to the host machine, it's still not working. Back to point 0 again. How weird!

Found this on GALLERY forums - may help your problem:

Looks like a compression problem with PHP

I had a look at the link you gave me from Gallery forums. It suggested that the error was caused by calling "ob_gzhandler" twice without calling "ob_end_clean();".

I searched for the content of the gallery files, and I couldn't find any coding that is calling "ob_gzhandler", so there is nothing I can do.

One more observation, I found that even though the little window turned blank... the picture was uploaded to the album's folder and a thumb version of the picture was created [by viewing the actual file directory]. However, when I viewed the album through gallery, it had no content. =\
