Topic: A couple of things..

[Widgeteye]

I get the following error;

Image Magick Error: convert: unable to open image `/shared2/web2/album/IMG_0021.JPG': No such file or directory. convert: missing an image filename `/shared2/web2/album//thmb_IMG_0021.JPG'.

All those thmb_IMG_00XX.JPG images are in subdirectories beneath /shared2/web2/album
Which is what I put in the Album_dir part of the 'paths configuration'.  I thought everything was working fine till I clicked on the 'popular' button. Then I get rows upon rows of these errors.
Wassup?   

Another question;
In the 'paths and files' part of the configuration it says the following:

member_subdir
If using per_member_upload, you can have all member directories created in a sub album

me) A sub album under what directory???

E.G. The root album could contain album1, album2, album3 and users. The "users" album would contain all user uploads, each in their own directory.

me) Are album1, album2, album3 the albums that I have under /shared2/web2/album??
       And would the "users" album be in the same directory as album1,album2, etc?
       And does this mean that the users directories would be under /shared2/web2/album/users


If you leave this option blank, users will get their own upload directory created at the root of the album.

me) Where? Under /shared2/web2/album ?

I left it blank and there are no such directories. Maybe I am using album.pl improperly.
What I am trying to do is use flat file auth, I have people give me the name and password
they want to use and I put it in the file. Do I have to make the subdirectories too?
Can they not upload to a album I have created but allow them to add to?

Here's what we do. We ride the Motorcycles a couple of us take pictures. Then I create an album for that event, lets call it "Canyon Tour". I want everyone who takes pictures on that run to be able to upload the pictures to the same album. But I also want them to be able to create their own albums also. I want to do this all with flat file auth.

So a little instruction here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Widgeteye,

Try turning on debug when you get the IM errors, so you can see the full command that's executed. We should be able to find the problem from there.

For member_subdir, everything is under your album root. So for example, if member_subdir=users and "jsmith" uploaded, they would upload into /shared2/web2/album/users/jsmith. (So long as per_member_upload=1 that is.)

If member_subdir is blank, then jsmith would upload into /shared2/web2/album/jsmith.

I.E. with no member_subdir, users upload into personal albums the album "root" otherwise you can use it to specify a sub-album for all users to upload into.

Admins of course, can upload anywhere.


Hope that helps!

hehe,   Where do you turn debug on at?

Thanks
