problem setting up

[UK_Terry]

hi
i have downloaded EE 1.22 and i am now trying to install.
on the quick install Guide i have succesfully done 1 - 4.

however when i try step 5 i get this error message.

Error in performing query fetchsettings: Table 'robinfce.ee_settings' doesn't exist

advice please as to what to do next. (robinfce is my database name.)

also looking forward step to step 8
i went onto my sever (via cutftp) and selected the correct folders, but in multieditor i could find no mention of microthumbs or http photo on the net etc.
what line is it on?

is this a difficult program to install?
how do you upload your photos info etc.

Thanks in Advance.

I am still stuck, can anyone suggest how to proceed?

It looks like you have had a partial installation which now causes problems for setup.

You have two choices:

Download and install phpmyadmin (you may have this already installed on your server) and check that your EE database is empty before you run the full setup.

OR

Remove in setup.php lines

$test = mysql_query(
"
SELECT
ee_light_id
FROM
ee_light
"
);


and run setup again. The above step will bypass check for something already installed.

If you still have problems let me know.

Thanks pekka, i was beginning to dispair.
i thought something might be wrong so completly cleared from server and then re-installed.
i have now got to the program.

a couple of questions though.
how do i delete your samples in D30 and how do i reset the
" 19140 PHOTO PAGES HAVE BEEN VIEWED TO DATE ON THIS SITE "

lastly how do i upload lots of pictures ie a folder full, do they automatically get found by the viewer?

Many Many Thanks.

Great!

Each photo has its own counter. The number you see is combined hit number for all photos in all public galleries. If you hide the D30 gallery (use exhibition editor and give D30 gallery a pass "xxx") its hits are not displayed and the exhibition is hidden from public.

lastly how do i upload lots of pictures ie a folder full, do they automatically get found by the viewer?

There is a FAQ in EE which may prove helpful. For now you need to resize with Photoshop and use ftp program to upload but as latest PHP includes GD library and FTP is the too (is PHP is installed with --enable-ftp) it means that as soon as 1.3 is ready I'll start working with upload and resize code integrated to size path system in EE. I have waited this far to do it as one principle with EE is that it must work with standard PHP installation - optional modules are very often not offered by ISP's.

PS. I recommend you update now to 1.3RC as it is easier to use, see http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5552

Read the instructions in http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5552

You may skip all parts which refer to closing gallery, backing up current database, so if you have a new 1.22 installation with no own photos in yet just do steps 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9.
