Problem on PHP5 Server

maxjac

I moved to a PHP5 server with LunarHost (great company BTW) but although it used to work on a PHP 4.4.4 server with the same company, I am having the following problems:

if accessing http://www.quebecgt.com/zenphoto I get a message saying 'Zenphoto error: Album does not exist.'

if accessing http://www.quebecgt.com/zenphoto/index.php? I get the test album I have created but no images appear

This is a clean install with 777 on cache and albums folders. I have tried with mod_rewrite On or Off and it does the same thing. Admin page works fine if you try to access http://www.quebecgt.com/zenphoto/admin it will redirect to the proper path. Could it be a problem with GD ? How can I fix it if this is the case ?

BTW, I have left the default user/pass for the admin part so knock yourselves out before I change it !

Thanks all for your time,
Maxime.

Did you changed the mod_rewrite inside .htaccess and zp-config.php? I got this behavior (no picture) with mod_rewrite = true ==> so I changed it to false ==> it works.

GD:
Look at the output of
<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>
Is a GD section there?

Same error I was seeing yesterday, maybe try this?

Yeah, that's a very weird error, probably having to do with Apache and mod_rewrite -- I use the -f test in the .htaccess to see if a file exists, and if so, halt the rewrite process and just serve it. It seems like the Apache default file for the / path doesn't hit that condition though, so it thinks there's an album there instead. I've added the rule shown in http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=1077&replies=2 for 1.0.8, which should fix the problem.

Thanks for your replies

Adding the line: RewriteRule index\.php$ index.php [L,QSA] did not solve the problem.

Changing mod_rewrite to false works but I do not know how to configure .htaccess for it to point to the right place... Also, I would preffer using the mod_rewrite method. Seems to work for admin, why not for the rest ?

My PHP info: http://www.quebecgt.com/index.php
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)

Any ideas ?
Thanks again !

Definitely looks like you have some paths wrong somewhere.

1) Check `RewriteBase` line in .htaccess. It should look like:
`RewriteBase /zenphoto` for you.

2) Try overriding the WEBPATH variable at the bottom of `/zen/zp-config.php`. Delete the `//` in front of it and change it to `/zenphoto` as well.

Something wasn't detected right, seems that mod_rewrite messed with the php_self variable... I'll have to investigate more later.

Thanks for your help
I followed your instructions and now everything is working fine

Excellent, that's why those overrides are there :-) Thanks for dealing with that.
