just updated, now images link to non-existant pages?

Greetings All...

I've created a sandbox for the latest version, and I'm having a bit of a problem on the album page... instead of linking the thumbnail of an image to the image itself, it links to "image.jpg.php", which of course, doesn't exist...

I've spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out what changed and where... any one have ideas?

Thanks,

    Have a look at Options -> General -> URL options ;-)
  • Also make sure you have mod_rewirte set. The above URL is a rewritten one so the file does not need to exist.
  • Sigh.

    Okay, found that option, thank you. Hadn't realized that my other site already had it off.

    Now of course, instead of getting the image it generates a blank page. The url created is missing the word "album", so it doesn't appear. If I turn on mod rewrite (and delete the .php) it generates a url with the index, but also ends up at a blank page.

    Software is fun...

  • Two things:

    If you turn off mod_rewrite then you cannot use that link at all. Not mod_rewrite links look like ..../index.php?a=xxxi=yyy

    If Mod_rewrite is on then your server MUST support rewrite rules and you MUST have a `.htaccess` file. Check if you have configured the rewrite module in your server software.

    Unfortunately, if you are your own hoster you simply must understand how to configure your site.
  • Oh, mod rewrite is working, the .htaccess file accepts it, etc. It was working, until the latest revision (which is not currently active). My server is pretty well up-to-date as far as that goes; if not, I can bring it up as needed.

    I'm just more interested in zenphoto working than in learning the nitty on the inside. :} We'll, we'll see what Malte has to say about it.

    Thanks!

  • Ok, feel free to wait for Malte, but he might just not be the expert in this area.

    BUT if Zenphoto generated the above link then it believes you have mod_rewrite enabled and working. If the link does not work then infact mod_rewrite is NOT working. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the link, it is what one would expect to get with a rewrite and a `mod_rewrite suffix` option set to ".php"

    BTW configuring your site is pretty much not related to Zenphoto unless you choose to configure the two incompatibly.

    Just to quickly respond here as well. All album/image links I saw and tried on the site mentioned in the mail were non-modrewrite and did work as expected. The overall site seems a bit slow but that is all I noticed. So I am not really sure what the problem is here actually besides that the site seems to be a mix of Zenphoto and static html pages?
