...and more!

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!)).

Ok so I go tthis installed and I have been testing it out, so far so good except I'm getting error's on file size. It seems that when I upload a file of 603546 it fails due to the configured limit of 524288.

I have modified the galleryconfig.php $cfgMaxFormFileSize = 30720000 but there is a comment on it that it can be ignored. I even hard coded in this value in the upload.php file and I still get an error.

HELP!

You need to change the setting in your php.ini. The problem has nothing to do with the HTML being sent to the client, but is a limit set in php itself.

I think the directives you need to change are:

upload_max_filesize = 8M
post_max_size = 8M

8M can replaced with something else, like 1M or 2M ..

Regards,
?ke

Ok they both are at 8M they where set to upload_max_filesize = 2M post_max_size = 8M prior so it shouldn't have been any big deal. I copied the exact error that I'm getting in the log file.

[Thu Dec 11 08:03:29 2003] [error] [client 209.221.185.226] Requested content-length of 610908 is larger than the configured limit of 524288, referer: http://www.r1wolfpack.com/gallery/upload.php

If I change the file and make it 65K it works just fine.

Problem was not with the php.ini I found that the file size was being limited by the php.conf file located in httpd/conf.d directory. There is a line called limitfile size or something like that when I changed that to 6M and restared apache it worked fine.

i have the same problem. i just installed the latest version 2.03, and i coudln't see the second line on the admin page.

what do you mean by "didn't add userid"? it could help me figure out the problem.

after installed, it shows i logged in as admin.. but no way to add categories.

if type in the url manually to create category, it says i need to be an admin to do that..

[WeBBy]

First, your problem coolmile...

Search for yourself on vB (in control panel), then click on edit or something, and look at the address for userid=x. Whatever that number is, that is your userid #. Then, open your galleryconfig.php. On line 74, you will see "$cfgAdminList = '1';". Change that "1" to your userid# and it should work.

NOW MY PROBLEM...

It would appear that Oak Gallery and the small calendar hack dont get along too good. This is my error when trying to upload:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/cal.php:121) in /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/gallery/upload_handle.php on line 108

Any idea how to get around this and or what the problem might be?

Thanx

EDIT: IGNORE THIS POST (I really should just delete this post but maybe someone is as stupid as I am and will be helped by it). Removing the end comment "<-- End of vbPortal calendar script" from the cal.php script solved the whole problem. What a dumb ass .. lol :O

So, this does make OakGallery the BMW 7-series of Gallery software.

LOL sorry no, I don't think OakGallery is the BMW 7-series of Gallery software. It's silly to say that all applications that allow image uploads and user comments are automatically in the same league whatsoever. After 2-3 years of development work, maybe oakgallery will get there - who knows, but it isn't now.

PhotoPost has been developed for several years with thousands of manhours and has improved VASTLY since you installed it over a year ago. Here's an example, PhotoPost is now deeply integrated with vBulletin 3: http://www.photopostdev.com/

Nice to see that you obviously saw there was issues and it could have been improved. I shall certinally be taking a look when I am not at work later today.

Any idea if Oak Gallery will be upgraded to vb 3 compatibility?

[Keyser S?ze]

i relize everyone is into vb3 now but i am sticking with vb2 for a long while, and was wondering if this hack is going to be updated for vb 2.3.2
