Problems with SMF Gallery Lite
« on: October 19, 2007, 04:11:00 pm »
Hi There,

I'm currently trying to install and run Gallery Lite in preparation of buying the Pro version, but I am having some major difficulties at the moment.

Before we start, the link to the site is www.125bikersclub.com .

This is a currently used and active site and it an update from the previous forum, on the new site we have just short of 100 members, but there are still 1,300 members yet to move cross, so I need this going before everyone start shifting across.

Also, SMF is currently bridged into Joomla useing a bridge. Both Joomla and SMF are using non-default theme's and both have been edited by myself.

Right ... Here's everything that happened so far.



1st Attempt:

When trying to install lite the first time, I got the package uploaded then, got through it testing the files and all were 'Test succesfull', then when attempting to install, all I got was a white screen with a PHP error on, but I cannot remember what it ws.



2nd Attempt:

When clicking apply mod, all I got was Some files are not writeable in the SMF core files. So here I CHMOD'd Package.php and Subs_Package.php to 777 and also created a 'temp' foler in the Packages directory and CHMOD'd that to 777 as well.



3rd Attempt:

Now after CHMOD'ing and Creating the 'temp' folder, I managed to get to the testing stage again, and all were succesfull, then I got to a redirecting page, where it redirected me to my homepage, which is the Joomla home page, not the forums home page.

So now I'm thinking it's installed etc, but nothing what so ever. There's nothing in the top menu of SMF to tell me there's a gallery and in Admin, all I got was an extra blank space down the left admin panel.

So i'm completely puzzled by this and can not find anyhitng about this is any forums etc.

Also when I went into FTP, I noticed all of the files for the gallery were in the 'temp' foler. Not the package parser on here were saying these should be in various other places, but no, everything was in temp. Also all of the syntax edits hadn't been completed.



If anyone could help it would be much appreciated as the re-launch is happening soon and I'd like it to be fully ready and functional.

I've read somewhere that the Gallery wont make a button on the SMF top menu, so I'm happy to make one if someone could tell me how to put it in. Also, could anyone tell me the font used on my SMF buttons, as these were from a package and I dont know.

I hope someon can help.

Thanks,

F600.

The gallery will only create a button/text on the default theme.

For the missing language strings you see in the admin panel. If you are using the english language make sure it is just english and not english utf8.
If another language you need to copy the text strings from modifications.english.php to modificaitons.yourlanugage.php

Sadly I don't even get a button...

SMF 1.1.4 / Gallery Lite 1.8.1.1

1. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test failed

I would manually add this gallery, but have no idea how.

why don't you use the parser , it will show you exactly what to do instead of using the package installer of smf , just follow the steps ...

1. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test failed

I would manually add this gallery, but have no idea how.

I have a similar problem, have one smf which started as 1.12 and updated to 1.14 and updated gallery there, all went well.
Now on same server, other domain but same settings (safe mod/globals),
installed smf 1.14 and Gallery Lite 1.8.1.1.

First time: Modification parse error
removed complete smf+gallery with ftp, and removed database

This morning: 2nd time

installed smf 1.1.4 and  Gallery Lite 1.8.1.1. with new database
Install Gallery succesfull, with ftp I saw gallery folder ok, no gallery*.php's however, en
no gallery configuration in admin. Ftp-ed manually *.phps and checked chmod but still no link in admin???

This evening third time:
On different domain , same server, smf installl ok...gallerly lite failed modification parse error

Difference with former 2 attempts:
Virtual hosts settings:
First 2 on while 2 attempts before safe modes were off, orginal one which worked has it also off and was smf1.12>1.14 and gallerly lite 1.7>1.8.111
 
 On PHP Safe Mode
 
 On PHP Safe Mode GID

 On  PHP Register Globals

 Off Shared SSL

 Off Temporary URL


I'm lost now... couldn't find solution by searching here either.
Because SMF works like a trill I assume it's a gallery package error.

Tried also manuel:

Noted a hidden .htaccess in Packages with (only in online filemanager not with ftp)
<Files *>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from localhost
</Files>
removed this, then same error
tried manuel uploaded files, chmod manuelly , galleryinstall.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: db_query() in /mounted-storage/home20b/sub003/sc20581-HXVG/gratiskrantvannederland.nl/smf/galleryinstall.php on line 22

galleryinstall.php you will need to run the queires inside the file manually on your database if you do a manual install.

will do that with parser .

Have now 5 tryout, sixt with
Off PHP Safe Mode
 
 Off PHP Safe Mode GID

 Off  PHP Register Globals

 Off Shared SSL

 Off Temporary URL

clean instal 1.14 made all writable thru admin and checked chmod

install 1.1.8 gallery lite, all succesfull but only gallery folder is made, no gallery files
to be seen..
uninstalled and tried again,

modification parse error

uninstalled again

tried other 1.14 mods, installed all fine, but nothing showed
If I tried other mod when another already in place , got also modification parse error

will try manually, but possibly smf 1.1.4. error?

Gets stranger..because I'v read on smf forum that's php 4.4.4 got error I applied AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php to my a.htaccess and gallery lite installed on a fly... ;D
However other mods got same error again...
Will try to debug package.php because it seems it's written for specific php versions,
so I don't think anymore it has something to do with gallery lite.
End october my isp had major upgrade and since that time problems occur.

SOLVED modification parse error with CHOWN and still having problems!
« Reply #11 on: November 18, 2007, 02:04:33 pm »
SOLVED and still having problems with the package manager!

Been busy last week with "modification parse error", had even to say to my wife , no sorry have a headache honey  ;D
but have partly solved it , with the help of my host servage:

1. It has nothing to do with smf version "whatever",
   besides perhaps   ...package.php
2. it has nothing to do with mods, not suitable mods give errormsg themselves.
3. it has nothing to do with what phpversion you have

Errors besides "modification parse error" are unpacking (if any) zips/gz with filelength 0 bytes, and not modifying files, files or links not showing up and no functionality whatsoever.

I have setup several 1.1.2 and 1.1.4 clean install on different domains, and worked my way thru.

Safe mode (GD) both off before (mod)install, register globals on off
(takes 3 hours to take effect).
lean install works fine but encountered time after time the same "modification parse error".


Checked forumerror log SMF:
admin Today at 11:43:15 AM
82.176.116.58 9532d96eaa5ac8fd62af10f0561e0b73
http://www.degratiskrantvannederland.nl/smf/index.php?action=packages;sa=install;package=feed.zip
8: fwrite() [<a href='function.fwrite'>function.fwrite</a>]: send of 91 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe
File: /mounted-storage/home20b/sub003/sc20581-HXVG/degratiskrantvannederland.nl/smf/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 2902

function.copy and function.fwrite don't work.

And unpacking (if any) zips/gz with filelength 0 bytes has to do with zlib of Apache.

That broken pipe points to server (over)load !!

But there's more:

My host points out that besides chmod there's also CHOWN.
I'm not a techie so I use normal language now:CH is change OWN owner.
When you have Filezilla you see owner in your screen and there you see the
name-holder of the account, for smfsoftware to modify the files you have to change that ownership recursivly (througout the entire smf folders) TO
WEBSERVER recursivly (I use the names as shown to me..perhaps with others that's called otherwise) so the webserver can act standalone as temporay owner
and change files.

However you have to have superuser-status to change the CHOWN.
For chmod a simple ftp prog will do.
If you have in your account a online filemanager, that can point to that status.
Possibly there you can change CHOWN.
(For techies, type chown in google or se)

Note: If your /smf folder has WEBSERVER recursivly as owner, you can download by ftp, but you can't upload anymore ! So plan your work.
One thing at a time. (Or use packagemanager for manuel upload)

After the modification has be done (when doing that I've uploaded and installed/modified 8 mods without errors) you have to CHange the OWNership
back to YOU recursivly, for safety reasons.
You can/should also return to PHP safe mode (GD).

HOWEVER, and this is why it partly works sofar, that broke pipe and server (over)load hampers flawless working.

For instance, I live in the netherlands, europe and around 16.30 USA wakes up
and get online, then I get the same "modification parse error" again !!
Server (over)load..
Cheap servers get server (over)load, expensive once less..I assume..
Or run your own.

For me the late mornings seem to be the best time to install mods, when the USA
is still asleep.

For the developers of SMF : Is perhaps the solution that files to be modified are downloaded on the user computer, modified there and uploaded again,
by a standalone packagemangerprog, I dont know if db querys present a problem, but sofar the php functions open, write give the largest problems.

Or divide the modify.xml's in modify files.xml and modify db.xml's ?

Hope this is clear...




Forgot to mention: chmod recurisvly (all folders/files to 777 and now no problems when usa is awake...(up till now then ) ;D

After modinstall change chown and chmod RECURivly back, except folders/files that still need 777...

, please make the following files 777 (writable, 755 on some hosts):
attachments
avatars
Packages
Packages/installed.list
Smileys
Themes
agreement.txt
Settings.php
Settings_bak.php

Having this same install problem, won't write to modifications.english.php. "Test Failed"

I have had gallery working on other smf forums installed at 1.1.RC2 and upgraded over time to 1.1.4.

Will not install at 1.1.4.

Wasted an hour of my time messing with file permissions etc.

Going to investigate coppermine.

It's not only chmod !
But also CHOWN...

That's the problem..
