Hi Steen,

It may just be sloppy coding on my part... the double / shouldn't have any detrimental effects, have you had a problem?

Cheers

Hi Mike.
Those double slashes only cause problems. Do you mind telling how to get rid of them?

That would be great.

Hi Steen,

What sort of problems are you seeing?

http://yourserver.com/picture.jpg should be the same as http://yourserver.com//picture.jpg or even http://yourserver.com//////picture.jpg for that matter... The tricky part is that the double slashes may occur from any number of locations, as the image URLs are being built so it's not a simple matter of finding the one source of the //'s, as there are potentially many.

One way you can cut down on the //'s is to run through your config again and see if there are any trailing/leading slashes that can be removed. Sometimes these are the cause.

Sorry I couldn't be more definitive.


Cheers

http://yourserver.com/picture.jpg This leaad to the picture. http://yourserver.com//picture.jpg this lead to the error 404 page. Maybe it works on UNIX servers. but not on other serers

try this: http://sbrandt.dk// and you will get the 404 page. No more no less.

Hi Mike;
I had found a solution which can be used. There are some drawbacks
If i set this code: $thumbnail_html=~s/([^:])\/\//$1\//g;  after it had generated the Thumbnails. the double // will be removed. Drawback is that personal thumbnails cannot be used. Only the first photo in a folder can be used as thumbnail..

Sincerely

Thanks for your work Steen... that's probably about as good a solution as any... if I come up with something better I'll let you know!
