Problem with G2 for Platinum

Snoboreders · Beginner Joined: Jul 30, 2005 Posts: 15

Ok, I installed Gallery2 (uploaded the module, block, and image onto my server), but am having some problems.

what should I put for:
Gallery2 Full filepath:
Embed URI:
Relative G2 path:
Login redirect:
Active User ID:

?

Everytime I think I have it right, it says "Error : Gallery2 Full filepath
You need to install and configure G2 first.Then this field must point to your Gallery2 root folder."

"Make sure the modules/gallery2/gallery2.cfg on your server is writable.
If this is not the case: just chmod it to 666 ."

gallery2.cfg "Error: gallery2.cfg is not writable". How do I "just chmod it to 666"?

Thanks for the help

for fullpath I'm doing www/sven/modules/gallery2

any ideas?

I thought all you needed to do was configure it by uploading it to the server and then accessing the module admin.

if you have command line access, type "chmod 666 gallery2.cfg" when you're inside your gallery2 directory. if you have a web file manager, you would have to change permissions using it's interface.

Ok, I've never done this before. Command line access? Does that mean .htaccess? If so, where in the .htaccess would I type that. Or do you mean open up gallery2's index.php and type it somewhere in there.

Can you please be a bit more specific...I just need to learn where to type the chmod once and I'll understand it.

Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial...atleast I understand it now; the only part that it was missing was that it never told me what file to open to modify!

you need to chmod gallery2.cfg to 666. there are no files that need to be opened.

AARRGGHHH...ok we're back where we started. So where on earth do I type "chmod 666 gallery2.cfg"? THere's gotta be a file or something or someplace where I type that.

there are no files to be opened. you use a terminal program like telnet or ssh to connect to your host. you then navigate to the gallery 2 directory and issue the chmod COMMAND.

if you do not have shell access, and your host uses Cpanel or some other web-based file manager, you must use it instead.

some ftp programs offer the capability of changing file permissions as well.

There we go thank you. I found a good tutorial http://www.zachjorgensen.net/za/chmodtutor.html

Didn't realize I had that option on my FTP...thanks for being patient.

Ok this is what my gallery2.cfg looks like:
<?
$g2embedparams = array (
'embedphpfile' => '/modules/gallery2',
'embedUri' => 'http://www.Snoboreders.com/modules.php?name=gallery2',
'relativeG2Path' => '/gallery2/',
'loginRedirect' => 'modules.php?name=Your_Account',
'activeUserId' => '0',
);
$g2mainparams = array (
'showSidebar' => 'true',
);
$g2configurationdone = 'false'; ?>

Any idea why I still get this error? "
Error : Gallery2 Full filepath
You need to install and configure G2 first.Then this field must point to your Gallery2 root folder."

I thought it was pointing to the root.

your embedphpfile is wrong.

it should be something along the lines of /home/yourusername/public_html/modules/gallery2/ (you need the COMPLETE filesystem path). if you don't know what it is, create a php file with the following in it:

PHP: › <?php echo dirname(__FILE__); ?>

and put it in your gallery2 folder. then, view the file through your web browser (ie, http://www.yoursite.com/modules/gallery ... ename.php) and use the value that's printed on the screen.

then, you MUST export your users before the configuration will be complete.

Ok, thanks for the help...I got up to the export users part and then:
Warning: init(/home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2/home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2embed.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2/admin/index.php on line 169

Fatal error: init(): Failed opening required '/home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2/home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2embed.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sven/public_html/sven/modules/gallery2/admin/index.php on line 169

Why are the repeating the folders...shouldn't it only be /sven/modules/gallery2/admin/index.php?

Line 169 is this: require_once ($g2embedparams[embedphpfile]."/"._G2_EMBED_PHP_FILE);

any idea?
