a few questions

[chriz]

If I may :)

1. When setting up the albums on another ftp-server (and changing the paths in path setup) I find that 360° panorama's are not displaying anymore. should I copy the ptviewer file to that external server too?

2. When doing a test in EDITOR_ftp_servers.php I get following results:
It appears that everything works fine except disconnecting.

3. I acquired my own rootserver with:
redhat 9
apache 2.0.40
php 4.2.2
mySQL 3.23.58
Are above versions up to the task or should I upgrade?

Thanks for your advice,
Chriz

PTviewer will not display images which are not in same domain as the applet. There is a workaround to this, in misc settings (bottom of the page) there is a setting "Localize paths in Panorama Tools" which when enabled will fetch the photos to temp dir via ftp before displaying them.

Disconnecting error with PHP ftp module is common and should not be a problem. You can of course use internal FTP, it should disconnect without problems.

I very much recommend upgrading to MySQL 4 with query cache enabled if you can - 4 is much faster and eats less resources.

Unfortunately I do not have the expertise yet to do an upgrade.
I found that under redhat 9 there are some unresolved dependencies and I would have to recompile the perl and some other module too.

Anybody who has done this before?

Thank you,
