Requriments:
Database Server
- MySQL or MS SQL Server (experimental support for ODBC)
- Administration tool for the database server (e.g. phpMyAdmin)
- Support for MySQL has been tested thouroughly.
- Support for MS SQL has been tested and seems to work fine.
- Support for ODBC is currently untested.
- PhpMyAdmin to import database structure http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
- ImageMagick installed on server http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/
- The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

- PHP 4 (PHP 3 untested, but should work)
- Tested with PHP 4.2.2
- Forum Software
- Tested with phpBB 2.0.4
- Tested with vBulletin 2.2.x
- With vBulletin 2.3.x, and error message is produced by vBulletin, but still works.
- Forum software is not really needed (but highly recommended), you can use ip-based authentication too.

Web Server
-OakGallery currently requires a web server that allows you to run shell commands from php-scripts (for ImageMagick).

Installation:
1. Create a database for the gallery (using e.g. phpMyAdmin)
(You can use the same database for OakGallery as for other things, as long as the table names don't collide)
2. Execute the complete database script found in InstallDB/<server-type>-OakGallery.sql
3. UnZip the gallery to a local folder
Edit the Upload/config/galleryconfig.php to suit your needs. The configuration options should be self-explanatory. To find where ImageMagick's convert and composite are located. Try running this from your shell (unix):

which convert or
whereis convert

4. Upload all files in the 'Upload' subdirectory to your webserver.

5. Make the directories 'thumbnails' and 'images' writeable by the webserver.

E.g:
chown nobody thumbnails
chmod 770 thumbnails
(In this example, the webserver is run as user nobody.)

7. Also, you need to make the PHP temporary upload directory writable by the webserver.

(Contact your system administrator if you need help with step 6-7)
Now, try loading the gallery page in your webbrowser and start creating categories for your pictures!

8. Dont you get it working ? Please post your problem here ... include the following:

- Path to the gallery
- Path to the forum
- Path to phpinfo.php
- Path?s in the galleryconfig.php

Then it will be much easier to help you out.

Modification:
If you want to modify OakGallery to better suit your needs, the following rules must be obeyed:

- The 'PayPal-donate' link and text must be CLEARLY visible. Preferrably near the top of the page.
- The original copyright message must be CLEARLY visible near the top of ALL pages.
- Add a message saying 'Modified by xxxx' or similar near the copyright message.
- Have fun! (and yes, that is a rule!)).

Zelda, have you verified the local path to convert with you server admin ?

GREAT SCRIPT!


but help! I've got a strange DB error with vbb 2.28:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Northwest Nissans database.Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.




Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE session SET lastactivity=1049960744,location='/gallery/index.php' WHERE sessionhash='07d1e56dccb81aaa0b59751bb7f4bd82'
mysql error:

My db settings are correct (triple checked) and here are my path settings:

$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/home/alkatraz/www/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/home/alkatraz/www/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
// Put the forums usernumbers for the OakGallery Admins here (comma separated).
// Like this: '1,2,3,4' - NOT like this: '1, 2, 3' !!!
$cfgAdminList = '3,176,349';
$cfgForumDir = '/home/alkatraz/www/board/'; // The local path to the forum dir
$cfgGalleryDir = '/home/alkatraz/www/gallery/'; // The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite

Verified with phpinfo.php SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] /home/alkatraz/www/gallery/phpinfo1.php

The only thing I'm not sure I've done correctly is step 7 and the imagemagic path.

BUT everything looks like it's working.. i can upload pics and it will thumbnail them.



I read through the posts talking about a db error in 2.30, but I run with vbb 2.28:


Here is my gallery URL:

I checked the paths in the server email from when we joined that host. As far as I can tell it's correct but I've just emailed them about it anyway.

w0000000t great!!!!!

Where might one find "php.ini" to make the necessary change to kill a few errors? I'm having the same troubles as a few others and I'd like to fix it correctly instead of editing the full path into the includes files as recommended by Oak and Bergman.

I've searched high and low and I'm not finding the file. Any suggestions?

Also - Oak - I'd like to chat with you privately about some modifications if I might. I'm on msn at thecharmedgirl@hotmail.com or I can pm you. My site is strictly private so I'm unable to post the url in here.

Rose, unless you are on a dedicated server, the php.ini file is an ISP issue, and it would be up to them to change it.

One thing I have noticed with my host...
I do not have path problems untill I go 3 deep into subdirectories.
It must be a virtual server quirk of some sort. :bunny:

Gotcha. Thanks!

ok, just tried installing this and it didnt work for some reason...here is what my index.php displays..

garoboldy - you're having the same problems as I am. If it's not run locally, the only way (I can think of) to fix most of the errors is to hardcode all files that contain "include('" in them to the full path. But I'm still getting a sql error that I can't get quite fixed.

[alkatraz]

Am I the only one getting the "Invalid SQL UPDATE session" error??
