Just installed zenphoto. I'm on an IIS server (I think)--its windows. In order to get the setup.php to work, I had to set mod_rewrite to false and uncomment the path lines:
define('WEBPATH', '/Images');
define('SERVERPATH', 'www.desilva.info/Images');
Zenphoto is installed in /Images.
Setup then ran, it connected to the database, and with a hack (explained below), I uploaded a jpg to a gallery. Viewing the gallery works fine, navigation from the main page to album to photo all works.
But, I keep having login issues.
On my server, there is a subfolder on my hosting account called info, which is where www.desilva.info takes you. /Images, where zenphoto is installed, is actually under /info--/info/Images. So www.desilva.info/Images/index.php is the URL for the gallery. The way the server seems to work, you can also get there with www.desilva.info/desilvainfo/info/Images/index.php--the hosting account name followed by the /info directory. Interestingly, if you go to www.desilva.info/Images/index.php, and click on the album (Memorial Bridge), it takes you to www.desilva.info/desilvainfo/info/Images/index.php?album=memorialbridge. Somewhere zP is adding in the "/desilvainfo/info." This doesn't seem consistent with having defined SERVERPATH to 'www.desilva.info/Images'
Anyway, for whatever reason, the public interface seems to work. The problem is with administration. I can go to the admin page, but if I add an image, it takes me to the login page--www.desilva.info/desilvainfo/info/Images/zen/admin.php. I then get trapped there in a login loop.
However, if I shorten the URL to www.desilva.info/Images/zen/admin.php, I continue on and it seems to perform whatever function it was trying to do.
Any ideas for having to hack /desilvainfo/info out of the URL in the browser everytime I want to edit/upload anything?

`define('WEBPATH', '/Images');
define('SERVERPATH', 'www.desilva.info/Images');`
The first one is perfect, WEBPATH should be the path after your domain, so `www.desilva.info/Images` has a WEBPATH of `/Images`, perfect.
The second one is the filesystem path of that same directory on the server. It should be something like (on Windows) `D:\iis\htdocs\desilvainfo\info\Images` (JUST GUESSING, you have to use your FTP program or a php file with just `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` to find the real path).
Frankly I'm surprised it's working with the SERVERPATH you gave it... did you end up re-commenting it? Give it the correct one though and see if that helps the admin problem...
define('SERVERPATH', 'E:\userdirs\wwwroot\desilvainfo\info\Images\');
after running a phpinfo() call on the server. Still end up with the same issue--it allowed me to upload four new jpgs into an album, kicked me to the login screeen, and looped there. The pictures did get uploaded, however, and if I edited the /desilvainfo/info out of the URL for admin.php, I could get back to the admin screen.
Argh. I really wish I had a better working knowledge of PHP... Any more ideas?
define('WEBPATH', '/zp');
define('SERVERPATH', 'd:/website/chilifrei.net/zp/');
I really like this app and want it to work... Something must be deciding I'm not logged on or something. Is there a debug function that can be enabled to see what is being called?
Odd bit is that it actually does the function I'm trying to do--change themes, upload pictures, etc. Its just when it tries to go back to the admin page that I get bounced to the login.
The redirect looks something like:
`header("Location: " . FULLWEBPATH . "/zen/admin.php?page=edit");`
and FULLWEBPATH is calculated like:
`define('FULLWEBPATH', PROTOCOL . "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . WEBPATH);`
That could be your problem. IIS might not be assigning the HTTP_HOST environment variable that you want. A simple fix for you would be to replace that... here's how:
In `zen/functions.php`, around line 24, you'll see the above line. Change it to:
`define('FULLWEBPATH', PROTOCOL."://www.desilva.info" . WEBPATH);`
You're basically replacing $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] manually with your domain. I think that should work.
I might need to make another override option for this, I didn't even know it could cause problems, but thanks for pointing it out :-)
Thanks so much for taking the time to look at the issue... I'll follow up w/the results as soon as I can.
BTW, I think I said it before, but great piece of work!
