This path stuff is kicking my.... 1.3rc

I have two computers (RH 9.0 & XP). The server is running Redhat with Dynamic DNS in one room (see where I'm going with this..interal network). As I work from the other computer XP, the path editor has:


http://192.168.111.4/eengineX/NWMr/big/ quarter
http://192.168.111.4/eengineX/NWMr/medium/ default
http://192.168.111.4/eengineX/NWMr/small eight

http://192.168.111.4/eengineX/NWMr/thumb ../NWMr/thumb/
http://192.168.111.4/eengineX/NWMr/microthumb ../NWMr/microthumb/



All dir. are set under NWMr: big, medium, small, thumb, microthumb.
I can see the thumb & micro in photo editor.

I "select size paths for this photo" save (all three paths are now hi-lighted)

I then "check validty of paths for this file name", and all I get are three boxes with the red "x" inside them. Which is also occurs in the Exhibtion.


Is this happening because I'm on my internal network? If I change the path to my domain name, it just times out?


I saw the code snippet (TopicID=13012#63088), the reply to b_wood - will this correct my problem?

Or am I way off?

Thanks

I know your pain. The code snippet enabled all the different editors to see the relative paths. My problem was that I assumed that in the path editor the URL field (thumb & microthumb path) had to be the full path. It doesn't. My URL field is now the same as the Relative path field.

The problem with the red X sounds like the path is incorrect. I thought I understood where the relative path was from, but I have to include an extra ../ in front of the path. My relative path looks like ../../blog-picts/thumbs/ I still think it should only have one set of ../ , but I'll get red Xs if I don't have the second set.

Good Luck

Ah. Call me a M_R_N, but I was under the impression that Pekka did an ALGORITHM conversions from the thumbnail. I didn't understand where the big, medium, small images were coming from, his dirs. were empty?
But, I finally loaded a pic in my medium dir. and cha-ching the image appeared in the Exhibition - duh!!!!
