very strange: The requested URL not found

Mistatoms

Hi

wonderful zenphoto! Just need to get it to work! I feel i am almost there!

I followed all instructions, managed to upload first set of images to albums folder, all respective folders are read/write but I have trouble viewing the images.

Tried the test.php route http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~ffl/noaurelia/test.php but to no avail. Not quite sure which path and it should be fine since I was able to upload ?!?!

Here http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~ffl/noaurelia/ everything is 'fine' (thumbnail not showing) but then it does not use the 'albums' folder in its path.

Any ideas??

When you uploaded the images, did you use the system admin page?
The reason their is no index image for your albums, is because it doesnt detect the the first thumbnail for your album.

It will be the same if you use subdirectory for your albums (if you do).

It doesnt link because it is just trying to open just the folder (I Think), I think it should say something like
http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~ffl/noaurelia/index.php?album=american-arrival

So check your code for index, do some debugging. In php, echo the link-

echo getAlbumLinkURL();

Thats the first step...

Hi, I am not sure but I think I have the same problem. http://www.stiftungleostrauss.com/zenphoto/

I uploaded both by the admin page and by FTP. When I try and access the gallery a page not found. I am not a php maven and beyond the basics can't follow much of the conversations it seems.

I've spent a few hours trying to find an answer on the Forum and checked the permissions, etc. It seems like this problem is not rare and am suprised the FAQ doesn't deal with it.

I'd like to keep ZenPhoto on the site -- is there a resource here that explain what to do in simple terms that the non-php guru can understand?

Here is the .htaccess file I have. I gather this is often a problem with Page Not Found/no photos/no thumbnails showing up in the Admin Page from reading the forum.

# -FrontPage-

Again, the problem with no pictures showing up (they are there by name in Admin but no thumb nail and have a red x) and no page ---- >>> http://www.stiftungleostrauss.com/zenphoto/

Sorry to be a pill and a newbie - would appreciate any help anyone could give.

Here's the zp-config.php file, too. Still can't get ZenPhoto to work. Have reloaded latest version, checked and rechecked permissions, etc.

You have `mod_rewrite=true` in your zp-config.php file but your .htaccess file does not have the code needed to support mod_rewrite. You need to fix that--the right .htaccess file is included with the ZenPhoto distribution.

However, it may not be so simple. I'm guessing you are using FrontPage to manage your main site. FrontPage is really touchy about files in the site that it did not put there. So, it may be messing with you as well. Specially with the .htaccess file, but maybe also with some of the other folders ZenPhoto creates.

I solved this delimma by putting my album in a subdomain. This keeps FrontPage's fingers off it.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Am using Dreamweaver. Will hunt for the code i need in .htaccess here or if someone could put it up would be profoundly grateful.

LeoStrauss

Hi Sbillard,

Thanks for the tip -- I re-downloaded Zenphoto and the .htaccess file was 100% different than what I had before. How it got so funky no I idea, but will work from there. Appreciate your patience.

LeoStrauss

Sbillard, I cheated and turned mod_rewrite = false in the config file so at least Zenphoto is working at

http://www.stiftungleostrauss.com/zenphoto

But I really wish I knew what to do with the .htaccess so i could have mod_rewrite= true . . .
