EE1.5 Final Release

[Bundy]

Pekka,

I've been develing HTML and Flash sites for a couple of years now though I no very little about PHP and MySQL. Should I wait until the final release of EE1.5 before I install anyhting or will updating and applying the fixes and patches be easy enough to do afterwards?

Alan, I was running an earlier very stable release of EE, and waited a while to update to 1.5. It is very easy to make the service updates as long as you observe the directory locations carefully. You simply can't drop the new files into one location.

[Pekka]

I will try to spend the Saturday morning/afternoon to make a full installer with all recent fix packs.

[Bundy]

Excellent!

Thank you both for the feedback. I'll look online after the weekend for the full installer.

Where will the full installer be located for downloading?

I uploaded all files for beta 4 in http://photography-on-the.net/EE15_beta_4_all_files.zip but database installer will have to wait on monday afternoon (GMT) because it's too late now (monday morning 2:25 am) and early wakeup tomorrow.

I'll announce new stuff on this forum first.

Pekka,

I finally got a chance to install the EE15_beta_4 and for the most part things seem to be OK, however, I must have some path problems.

When I try to "Upload to the database", I immediately get the following message:
---------------
"Warning: unlink(UPLOAD/ee_temp_upload/foo.txt): Permission denied in /opt2/home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/secretINPUT/ftp.php on line 106"
---------------
It allows me to upload a file OK whenI select "Send to Server", though the when I select "Upload"ftp messages state:
---------------

Also, when I do a test in the Graphics Module, Imagemagick, Imagick, GD1, and GD2 all show as inactive. The test result is just a broken link indicating that none of them are installed. Did I miss a step in the install where I needed to install Imagemagick or should it already be installed with EE?

I have several other request once I can figure out these few startup problems. For example, can the detail names be modified? Instead of PHOTOGRAPHER -> Artist Â*Â*|Â*Â* SHOOTING DATE -> Creation Date Â*Â*|Â*Â* CAMERA -> Media Type Â*Â*|Â*Â* LENS -> Dimension Â*Â*|Â*Â* BASIC SETTINGS -> Edition SizeÂ*... etc.

Ultimately, I would like to customize EE to work for an online art gallery. Is this possible, or could I hire you to assist in the scripting? Please email me with more information at alan@vancouverimageworks.com.

Hi Alan,

Set /input/UPLOAD/ee_temp_upload -folder permission to 777 (all read/write/execute on).

"NO THUMB RESIZEMETHOD DEFINED IN PATH EDITOR" means you do not have not chosen any resizemethods for thumbs and microthumbs (because you do not apparently have any resizing libraries).

Also, when I do a test in the Graphics Module, Imagemagick, Imagick, GD1, and GD2 all show as inactive. The test result is just a broken link indicating that none of them are installed. Did I miss a step in the install where I needed to install Imagemagick or should it already be installed with EE?

EE does not install any graphics engine. They are server-side programs: free, but need to be installed by server administrator. Imagemagick is easiest to install, and most usable (as it can do sharpening and watermarks). Ask your system admin if they already have Imagemagick, you'll need to know the path to make use of it, and before test will be successfull.

I have several other request once I can figure out these few startup problems. For example, can the detail names be modified? Instead of PHOTOGRAPHER -> Artist | SHOOTING DATE -> Creation Date | CAMERA -> Media Type | LENS -> Dimension | BASIC SETTINGS -> Edition Size ... etc.

Ultimately, I would like to customize EE to work for an online art gallery. Is this possible, or could I hire you to assist in the scripting? Please email me with more information at alan@vancouverimageworks.com.

You can change every public text in EE by changing translation files in /gallery/languages/xxx/

Of course editors are still photo editors, but what public sees is most important.

Pekka,

I suggusted you to put the list of all the require modules (ftp module, EXIF, IPTC and Graphics Module) in the beta page.
(and also Links to sites to download if possible)


Otherwise people just think only php will do.

Or they need to read through the forum to get the list of all the require modules

PaulI'm confused now (nothing new, I'm afraid! ;) ): I would like to update from 1.3 to 1.5 - Which files should I use? The 1.5 beta 4 full installer?

/Steffen

[Bundy]

Pekka,

I found out from my ISP that the path to ImageMagick is /usr/local/bin. Where should I input the path so that all is well?

No, sorry for confusion - there is 1.3 to 1.5 beta 3 updater in http://photography-on-the.net/13_to_15b3.zip (see http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17781 for instructions
)


Then add fix packs

http://photography-on-the.net/EE15b3_fix_1.zip
http://photography-on-the.net/EE15b3_fix_2.zip
http://photography-on-the.net/EE15b3_fix_3.zip
http://photography-on-the.net/EE15b3_fix_4.zip

and copy all files from

http://photography-on-the.net/EE15_beta_4_all_files.zip

Then run

http://photography-on-the.net/update15b3_to_15b4.zip

and finally

http://photography-on-the.net/ee/beta/EE15_b4_fix_1.zip

See also http://photography-on-the.net/ee/whatsnew_1_5.html and check http://photography-on-the.net/ee/beta/ from time to time.

In "graphics modules" editor, set your imagemagick composite path to

/usr/local/bin/convert

press "update path". Set composite path to

/usr/local/bin/composite

and press "update path". You should see green OK text there right after you save each path. Then do the module test, if it is not ok, change profile command and try again (three choices). If you still get errors, make sure folders

/input/UPLOAD
/input/UPLOAD/test
/input/UPLOAD/ee_temp_upload

all have chmod 777 (full privileges).

[Bundy]

Pekka,

So far so good, the paths to ImageMagick are OK, however there seem to be some ftp errors to straighten out:

How does you ftp server test work? Seem like a plain "can not connect" problem which may be fixed by putting of passive mode, or perhaps your ftp server name is not correct (mysql1.dca1.superb.net sounds like mysql server connection, not ftp).

[Bundy]

You are correct, it was my ftp settings that were incorrect. I had my MySQL server info in there by accident.

Unfortunately, I'm still having thumb and microthumb path problems. Is there any more information that you can provide about what should be used in "path setup"? I'm sure I just have them mixed up as well. The images seem to upload OK, but I can't get any images to be displayed in the exhibition at http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery.

The ftp server tests all show OK except for the following errors:
-----------
FAILED Reason: ftp_chdir(): /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/outputstyles: No such file or directory

EE has an outputstyles folder installed, so what does this error point to if all of the other tests show OK?
-----------
Warning: unlink(temp/foo.txt): Permission denied in /opt2/home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/input/ftp_servers.php on line 929

This error show up underneath the list of tests in the window.
-----------

I created the thumb and microthumb folders in the input folder and I thought I was pointing to there in the path setup. Based on my root EE folder being http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery, what should the path setup being for the normal, thumb and microthumb?

Thanks in advance!

It means the EE Home ftp server "ftp path to EE root" is not correct ftp path, an ftp path which points to EE folder.

This means access permissions to folder gallery/temp/foo.txt are wrong for PHP's ftp. Go there with ftp program and delete foo.txt manually. Check also that folder "temp" has 777 permissions.

Thumbs:

URL: http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery/thumb/
RELATIVE PATH: ../thumb/
FTP SERVER: anything but "OFF "
FTP FOLDER: /your_ftp_server_path_to_/gallery/thumb
RESIZE METHOD: anything but "NONE"

Note "slashes" or "no slashes" in the ends.
Check also in exhibition editor that it uses correct thumb paths.

[Bundy]

Pekka,

1. If my EE root folder is set correctly to /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery and EE already installs the "outputstyles" folder into the root "gallery" folder, then shouldn't it be working without an error. Would this error be causing any of the problems I'm having with the thumbs and microthumbs not working?

I assume that the "ftp server", "username" and "password" are the same for both of the "FTP servers" and the "EE Home ftp server". The only thing that doesn't seem right to me is that the "FTP servers" "test folder" points to the path /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/test, though the only "test" folder I can find in EE is located at /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/input/UPLOAD/test. Should the "test folder" be that later of the two?

2. Removing the foo.txt file got rid of the "Warning: unlink(temp/foo.txt)" error, though it was by removing the "gallery/input/temp/foo.txt" file not "gallery/temp/foo.txt".

3. Should the thumb and microthumb folders live in the root "gallery" folder or in the "gallery/input" folder? I assume your last description has them living in the root "gallery" folder.

My "path setup" settings are as follows, just in case it helps troubleshooting:
--------------
Size Path:
URL: http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery/input/normal/
Variable: default
FTP SERVER: local
FTP FOLDER: /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/input/normal
RESIZE METHOD: for non-resized (IMAGEMAGICK 1024)
--------------
Thumb Path:
URL: http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery/input/thumb/
RELATIVE PATH: ../thumb/
FTP SERVER: local
FTP FOLDER: /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/input/thumb
RESIZE METHOD: thumb (IMAGEMAGICK 110)
--------------
Microthumb Path:
URL: http://www.vancouverimageworks.com/gallery/input/microthumb/
RELATIVE PATH: ../microthumb/
FTP SERVER: local
FTP FOLDER: /home3/beyondthebox/public_html/imageworks/gallery/input/microthumb
RESIZE METHOD: microthumb (IMAGEMAGICK 43)
--------------

Thanks as always, I don't know how any of us would get by without your help... Pekka you are the best!
