so i just updated zen to the lovely new version 1.1.3. i used to have stoppeddesign as my theme but decided to go with stopdesign. because i've been dealing with spam all day before the update and trying to update and fix my mess ups, i'm a bit tired so please forgive me for doing this as a short cut.
issues:
(1)zenphoto administration error - 403 Forbidden "You don't have permission to access /zp-core/admin.php on this server."
i figure its cause i can't insert anything in the "Website url:" under "options" in the admin page. BUT i also noticed it when i tried to update my "Gallery description:" under my theme options. same error, so what in the world am i doing wrong?!
(2)because i couldn't use a website url i found this post and did what it suggested:
http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2026&replies=6#post-11861weird thing is i didn't insert any url and of course it defaulted to my gallery url and don't know how to change the link. i attempted to try this 'cause it was in my old stoppeddesign zp-config.php:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// General Gallery Configuration
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// What you want to call your photo gallery.
$conf['gallery_title'] = "gallery name";
// Your web site title and address, if you have one. If not, leave blank.
// These are used to link back to your main site, but your theme must support it.
$conf['website_title'] = "Title";
$conf['website_url'] = "
http://www.mysite.com";
this didn't work either so i'm a bit tired, frustrated and stuck!
(3)comments are allowed but i can't see the add comments under any of my photos.
thanks kindly to anyone who reads/responds to this. seriously, thanks much...

and if possible i'd like to get rid of "image info" and "full size." full size especially cause every time i click on it, it automatically pops up as a download option and i really don't like that! ideally i'd like to have no full size at all and for my images to be full size when browsing through images w/o having to resize all of my photos. i've tweaked the code but it freaks out the rest of the page (especially the right side of the page- right side thumb image and text)
2) You did not tell from what zp version you updated. Did you run setup.php or upgrade.php? I suggest you try the nightly build anyway.
3) Did you update the theme as well? I suggest you try the nightly build, too, since there were a few problems with comments anyway.
Regarding favicon: In some browsers you need to clear the cache to get it displayed correctly either in bookmarks or in the adress bar (some Safari versions for example)
2) i think i updated from 1.0.3. i ran both setup.php and upgrade.php. gonna dl the latest nightly build (zenphoto-2007-12-28-trunk.zip - yeah?)
3) update w/the nightly build yeah? if so nope not yet. i was just wondering if there was one main nightly build that just gets constantly updated or is there one specific one i'm supposed to download?
favicon- it displayed correctly when i didn't redirect to my photo page but everytime i go to the photo page the icon doesn't show up
thanks much for tackling my numerous issues acrylian!!
So far, the builds have remained stable, so just using the latest is the best choice.
As of version 1.1.3 setup.php and upgrade.php are essentially the same program. (upgrade.php just invokes setup.php with a parameter inhibiting the system check.)
My recommendation is that setup.php is the program to be run on all upgrades. The system check doesn't hurt. If it complains about something you don't want to fix, you can run upgrade.php and take your chances.

i have no freakin clue what i did wrong cause i did the exact same thing last night when i updated to 1.1.3. this is from a nightly update i just did a couple minutes ago "zenphoto-2007-12-28-trunk"
please help!
One question though. Is namehere_zen the name of your database? If not, then that could be the problem.
I have added some more diagnostic information to setup. It will be in tonight's build.
Also, does the user name match what you expect?
btw i still get the error
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /photos/zp-core/admin.php on this server."
when i try to add a "Website url" under options/General Gallery Configuration. but i noticed when i omit "http://" it saves but of course it doesn't show up cause i'm using stopdesign and i'm assuming i'd have to do the same
i used to get the same error when i updated the "gallery description" under theme options but i figured out its cause i inserted codes like tried this again but still same issue:
http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2026&replies=6#post-11861
weird thing is i didn't insert any url and of course it defaulted to whatever url you're currently at and don't know how to change the link
don't know what you meant by this:
Also, does the user name match what you expect?
expect of what?
still no "add comment" option for my photos for the stopdesign theme. hope the new nightly build is worth doing 'cause i can't stay up late fixing my mess ups when doing another install oy!
There is something unusual happening on your site. First, the SHOW GRANTS list looked correct with the possible exception of the names. Second, there is no reason I know of that you should not be able to save the Website URL with the 'http://' on it. That's how mine is saved.
Nor do I know why wou would get the Forbidden error. Specially since you seem to be running admin.php (or you wouldn't be saving options.)
The addcomments problem is an identified issue. No fix for it yet, though.
