Chit Chat / Re: Just a spider or...?

« on: June 02, 2003, 07:52:44 AM »

I have traced the IP, could find some info of the location, domain and blah - blah, but now what? Maybe somebody knows anything about such a thing?
here is the IP:
65.214.36.154

That was an "AskJeeves" spider.  I don't know if you are familiar with it but it is a very popular US search engine.

Here is what I use to trace IPs http://visualroute.visualware.com/

Hi Kris - let's keep this public instead of PMing so others can benefit if they have the same problem.

First, I can't get to your website? Says "Cannot find server"

Without seeing it it is hard to tell.

1) Make sure the GD version is 2.0 or greater.
2) Check and double check that you installed 4 images correctly.  ASCII files uploaded in ASCII mode, images loaded in binary mode
3) Triple-check the folder permissions...make sure they are set exactly as in the directions, thats what caused most of my problems.

Installation, Update & Configuration / Re: Auto-Thumbnailer and Auto-Image-Resizer

Hi, can u explain me how to run Auto-Thumbnailer and Auto-Image-Resizer please ? My work page looks like this now http://mounthill.no-ip.org/~n0n4m3/php/4images/index.php so its works but i dont know how to run things there and i dont know how to upload phptps.
Please help.

I don't know how to use NETPBM or the other graphics software.  I used "GD".  If your host has it installed then GD will automatically do it for you.

Copy this text into a file, name it phpinfo.php and upload it to your server in ASCII mode.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then call it from your browser...e.g. "http://www.yourwebsite.com/phpinfo.php"

If you have GD installed, scroll down and it will say under "GD", GD 2.0 or greater.  If you don't have GD get your web host to install it.

If you do have it, then just go to the control panel, under settings and click on "GD Bibliothek" under Conversion tool for thumbnails.

Good luck!

Hello,
how do i activate the two functions above? Everything works fine on my album at www.comeunder.de but i have no idea how to install GD or ImageMagick.

I put an php-info-file on my webspace to see whta is installed, and it says that GD is enabled. http://www.comeunder.de/infome.php


Can someone please give me a hint or a link to a documentation what i have to do?

Thank you very much

Jochen

I was going to reply but it looks like you have it working!

Installation, Update & Configuration / setting permissions (chmod 777 and so on...)

« on: May 18, 2003, 05:52:58 PM »

roger that Chris,
I think I'll make my own thumbnails  

Thanks again and best regards
Stephen

Does your host support GD?  It automatically generates thumbnails for you.

Example - http://www.talkpets.com/album

Copy this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save it as "phpinfo.php", upload it to your server and point your browser to http//www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php.  It should tell you about 1/2 way down the page what version of GD you are running.

If it is 2.0 or greater, 4images will automatically generate thumbnails for you.  If not, scream at your host to install GD

Installation, Update & Configuration / Re: setting permissions (chmod 777 and so on...)

You need to change the permissions to 777 for your data directory and all subdirectories.  If you have WS-FTP, right-click on the data directory, and select "CHMOD (UNIX)"  Then when the permissions box comes up, make sure all the boxes are checked.  

Repeat for all the subdirectories.

Go back to the instructions and make sure that all your permissions are set according to what it says.

Yeah - I struggled a bit myself, but once I got the permissions fixed, it solved all the problems.

Installation, Update & Configuration / [English] Just installed...thoughts...

« on: May 08, 2003, 04:33:35 AM »

For the english-speakers out there

1) It was semi-painful, but I finally got it to work.

2) The features of this software seem incredible - good job!

3) The main problem I had was sifting thru the mixed German and English instructions.  Make sure to upload the php/html as ASCII and the .gif/.jpg as binaries.

4) Check and DOUBLE-CHECK that you have set ALL the directory permissions correctly before even attempting to create a gallery and upload pictures.

5) I use GD - seems to work pretty good, not optimal but it does the job.

6) Make sure to create your MySQL database, and user/password before running the install

7) Make sure to download the English language pack, and upload it to the \lang directory before running the install

7) Once you are in control panel...first thing is to is to change the language, or you will be lost

Here is the basic uploaded version, I still have a lot of configuring to do before I go live Talk Pets! Album
