1.22 or 1.3 for beginner?

[Jeff Farris]

A friend just pointed me to your software, and I have just begun working with it. Would you suggest that I stop, and upgrade to 1.3 before proceeding past the initial installation? I am muddling through this, and have the system installed successfully, but I noticed in a forum post that the new version has on-screen help which would be a God-send for me. Should I get fully functional on 1.22 first, or upgrade first?

[Jeff Farris]

Well, maybe I should have waited for an answer. I proceeded with the update. The updater program reported "OK ZERO ERRORS", but now I am having problems with the editors and the display.

I get the following error for all (or most of) the editors:

Fatal error/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/digitaldiver.net/httpdocs/gallery/*****/multieditor.php1047

Multieditor worked for me before the upgrade

I get the following error messages on the index page:

I have now opened my new photo site. Feel free to comment any exhibition. Enjoy your stay and thanks for stopping by!
Warning: Division by zero in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/digitaldiver.net/httpdocs/gallery/indexstyles/1.php on line 79

Warning: Division by zero in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/digitaldiver.net/httpdocs/gallery/indexstyles/1.php on line 149


I have checked (and double checked) the add/connect settings and I did the file copy of the new input folder to my old renamed input folder correctly (I think).

Any direction and help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Those errors suggest to me you're use old (1.22) version of fetchsettings.php. Maybe your ftp program failed to overwrite files? Upload and replace all files from 1.3RC pack again, and see that your ftp program is set to overwrite all files with same name.

Thanks, Pekka! That solved most of the problems. I thought my ftp program was overwriting everything, but apparently not.

Could this message be from a similar problem? It shows up at the bottom of the display pages.

Warning: Failed opening './footer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/plesk/php/lib/php') in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/digitaldiver.net/httpdocs/gallery/photo.php on line 1962


Is there any way to do a clean install of 1.3?

If you indeed have "footer.php" in your gallery root then you must edit in the beginning of fetchsettings.php to have an include path:

Change line 12

// ini_set ("include_path",".:/home/pathtosites/mysite/mywebroot/mygallery/myfolder/");

to

ini_set ("include_path",".:/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/digitaldiver.net/httpdocs/gallery/");

That should do the trick. It's a bit odd that php misses the include paths sometimes (this site uses also Plesk) but I guess there are zillion ways to install php.

Not yet, I'll do full installers for release version.

hi;

i've dowloaded the application this evening, tried to upgrade to 1.3 and got the following message :
"mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/photo/122_to_130.php on line 552"

can someone tell me what does that mean?

i've just noticed that 1.3 was a shareware. as a donator, do i have the right to use it?

one last question : where can i find a manual?

That means you do not have a table row ee_version in table ee_settings. This means that the version you're updating is not probably 1.22.

Of course. All those who have donated fro EE have automatically a single licence to EE.

one last question : where can i find a manual?

There is a FAQ inside EE and also online help in 1.3 editors. There is no separate manual yet, but it will come.
