unable to update image title via admin panel.

After completing the upload of images via the "Upload>Images" Menu and having them placed directly into the appropriate album>sub-album i tried to update the Image Title and description, via the admin panel, as i don't want it to list the file name.

i hit apply and it says "Changes applied"

but it reverts to the previous name...

i look in the database and sure enough the changes are not applied. i can modify the database directly via phpmyadmin to set the title but that is tedious and shouldn't be necessary.

any help with this issue would be great.

    Version information:
    Zenphoto version 1.4.3.5 [11059] (Official build)
    PHP version: 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.18
    Graphics support: PHP Imagick library 2.1.1-rc1
    ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2012-08-17 Q16
    MySql version: 5.1.66

    it is all running on apache2 current build as of 12/7/12

    as far as the zen photo debug logs there is nothing of merit in it except for a few theme notices. nothing relating to the database.

    here is the setup log:
    Zenphoto Setup v1.4.3.5[11059]: Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:15:14 -0500
    Warn: Zenphoto attempts to make log files accessable by owner only (permissions = 0600). This attempt has failed. The log file permissions are 0644 which may allow unauthorized access.
    Warn: If file permissions are not set to strict or tighter there could be a security risk. However, on some servers Zenphoto does not function correctly with tight file permissions. If Zenphoto has permission errors, run setup again and select a more relaxed permission.Set File permissions to readonly (0444) strict (0644) relaxed (0664) loose (0666)apply.
    Warn: Setup did not perform a test of the filesystem character set. You can cause setup to test for a proper definition by creating a file in your zp-data folder named charset_tést and re-running setup.If your server filesystem character set is different from UTF‑8 and you create album or image filenames names containing characters with diacritical marks you may have problems displaying the names.Change the filesystem character set define to Unknown ASMO-708 BIG5 CISO2022JP CP1026 CP870 DOS-720 DOS-862 EBCDIC-CP-US EUC-CN EUC-JP EUC-KR GB2312 HZ-GB-2312 IBM437 IBM737 IBM775 IBM850 IBM852 IBM857 IBM861 IBM869 ISO-2022-JP ISO-2022-KR ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-3 ISO-8859-4 ISO-8859-5 ISO-8859-6 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-8 ISO-8859-8-i ISO-8859-9 JOHAB KOi8-R KOi8-U KS_C_5601-1987 MACINTOSH SHIFT_JIS UNICODE UNICODEFFFE US-ASCII UTF-7 UTF-8 WINDOWS-1250 WINDOWS-1251 WINDOWS-1252 WINDOWS-1253 WINDOWS-1254 WINDOWS-1255 WINDOWS-1256 WINDOWS-1257 WINDOWS-1258 WINDOWS-874 cp866apply.If you do not know the character set try "unknown"

    these are the only things from the apache log that could be of merit:

    mysql log has nothing of merit. only startup and shut down information.

    hopefully This helps...

    Could be that the failure to write to the debug log is significant. Try emptying the apache log and re-attempting the description edit. See what is in the apache log after that.

    The only other thing I can think of has to do with database charactersets. If your tables are not UTF8_general_ci and you have any diacritical marks in the data you are saving then MySQL may reject the update.

    Mr sBillard i have to say that you are a genius! it seems against all freaking odds my server decided to set itself to utf8_swedish_ci... not sure how in the hell that happened but alas it is all fixed up now and working like a champ!

    seriously what is the address i can send you a case of good beer at by way of thanks!
  • sbillard Member
    `utf8_swedish_ci` is the default (the MySQL developers were Sweedish!) so I am guessing that the database got reinitialized or something.

    A contribution to Zenphoto would do in place of a case of beer. Shipping would be much less expensive:)
