Pictures never load! Get "Unable to Make Thumbnail"
It's also looking for ..../css/images/tab_bottom.gif in place of ..../images/tab_bottom.gif (easy fix - create directory, copy file).


Trying to install "Gallery" Looks good but it don't work

As the FAQ question on the owner's site says... I'm getting an error no matter what I do. These instructions say the fixes appear to be on the server side(?)

------------- cut from their FAQ: ----------------

C.2. I've installed Gallery and all seems well. But when I try to upload an image it says Unable to make thumbnail(0) or Invalid image. What gives?

This is a very common problem. It's usually because the image manipulation program isn't getting called correctly, and this can happen for a number of reasons. To diagnose the problem, follow these steps:

Verify that the binaries (NetPBM or ImageMagick) are installed correctly and are chmodded 0755 (including the directory they are in).

One common installation mistake is to put the executable in a path that contains spaces. This happens often on Windows, if either package is installed in Program Files. The executables must not be installed in a path that contains spaces.

Put Gallery back into configuration mode (see the tutorials earlier in the manual for details)

Re-run the configuration wizard. On step 2, select the option to put Gallery into debug mode. Finish the configuration wizard and secure Gallery (this is described in the configuration wizard tutorial).

Attempt to upload a picture using the web form interface, not the applet. There will be a whole lot more debugging messages now, and it will help to diagnose the problem. Possible issues are listed below:

If you see any of the following messages, the solutions are listed below

Error in loading shared libraries -- Indicates that your dynamic library loader can't find a library that it needs. On Linux you can add the directory containing the appropriate library to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig -v as root to fix this. If you don't have root access to the server, either contact your host for help or download a new version of ImageMagick or NetPBM and use the new install instead.

Abort trap or Segmentation Fault or Cannot execute binary file -- probably means you installed the wrong binaries for your system (e.g. installed the FreeBSD binaries on a Linux system) or you uploaded the binaries in ASCII FTP mode instead of BINARY FTP mode.

Permission Denied -- More than likely, your NetPBM directory or the actual NetPBM binaries are not chmodded 0755. It could also mean that your host has disallowed you from executing programs; if this is the case, you must talk to them in order to get it resolved.

/usr/bin/convert: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x0a 0x4d (/home/uspalmer/public_html/gallery/AUTHORS). -- This is a bug that has been fixed with the latest version of Gallery, please upgrade.

/usr/local/bin/convert: no delegate for this image format (/home/sites/home/web/albums/album_01/IMGP0215.jpg) -- This means ImageMagick doesn't have the appropriate libraries to handle a type of image format (in this case JPEG). If you have root access, make sure the appropriate image libraries are installed or ask your host to verify this. If not, you can try using NetPBM from the Gallery Download Page, which has all major image formats already included. If you are using FreeBSD and installed ImageMagick from the ports collection, see FAQ C.30.

Status: (expected 0) -- This means that Gallery is unable to get a status message from PHP, which it relies on. One possible solution is that your host has disabled some needed php functions. To determine if they have create a PHP file containing


<?php
echo ini_get("disable_functions");
?>

I'm having the same problem and saw this reply on the Gallery forum. Is Fantastico installing one of these programs with Gallery? If not, they should be available or Gallery 2 will not work!
---------------------

it doesn't seem you actually have netpbm or imagemagick.
additionally to g2, you need to install netpbm and / or imagemagick, which are programs like easyphp and need to be installed separately.

Hello, does anybody read these?

David

Are either of you sure you are using the correct path for image magick?

Getting the same problem here .. I installed it via Fantastico, it should have configured Imagemagik for us no? If not which file can I edit to correct the path, and what is the correct path anyhow? Please help.

If you haven't already, contact support. I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago on SH88, which was a new server. Imagemagik had not been set up. The path on SH88 I am using is /usr/bin.

I did not use Fantastico to install. I uploaded version 1.5.1 myself.

Fixed it myself ..

goto:
http://yoursever.com/gallery/setup/c...magemagick.php

this will verify your path/setup for Image Magick

next goto:
http://yoursever.com/gallery/setup

this will also verify your image magick and settings (will not erase any current settings). just go through the various tabs.

at the end i ran into an error with rar .. i removed the path under the optional tools tab and saved the config. now everything works like a charm!

hope this helps someone else as it looks like this was asked many times but no one seemed to explain how to fix it.
