Album 5.6 on XP
« on: December 03, 2002, 22:07:13 »
I abandoned my old Netfirms account and installed apache on my XP Pro computer here.
I am not as knowledgable in this server stuff as I should be but I figured out how to get it running and I can run album.pl just fine.. but I cant view any pictures.
I know that one problem is the thumbnail address for the albums has an extra slash in it (it is after the album_web portion of the address), I didnt add a trailing slash.
I have imagemagick installed but I am wondering if maybe it performs differently on XP than Unix?
It reads all the directories fine but no files are listed in the albums.
I am in over my head here but Im almost there so I just keep changing little things to see if something small could be the cause but so far I have nothing.

If my explanaion wasnt clear, the address is http://bobn64.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/album56/album.pl

Your first step would be to upgrade to 6.0, released this week. It's easier to set up and has many more features :)

Allen's right, going to 6.0 now would save a lot of trouble later... (http://perl.bobbitt.ca/album/album60.zip)

Not sure exactly what's going on there, but it looks like maybe your album_web is not a real URL for one, and if you notice, all your icons are missing the extension...

Cheers

Well I just started from scratch with Album 6.0 and it works great.  I dont know what I was doing wrong with 5.6 but evidently I did something different when I set up 6.0.  Thanks

Woah
I just found the problem.

I have some old thumbnails I made in the directories and I didnt want to use them so I just left the thumb_prefix blank.  Then it started with the double slashes thing.  I changed it to a bunch of t's (so it wont find any) and it works again now.  So I dont know if that is a flaw or just a fluke of the way my server is set up, but that is what caused me all this grief.
It wasn't just 5.6, because 6.0 suffered the same fate.

Yeah, if you set thumb_prefix to be null, it thinks *everything* is a thumbnail (because all photos have the "null" prefix) and therefore hides them from view.

So no photos show up that way!

Glad you got it working though, and the double slash thing, though sloppy on my part, isn't a problem... (Even http://perl.bobbitt.ca//////////////////album will work. ;))
