Hello!

I use Gallery 2.3.2 and wanted to configure it to use another Theme than Matrix (Carbon).
There are several several Themes in the Theme-Directory, even Carbon. I read that I have to activate the desired Themes via the option Site-Administration - Erweiterungen. But then I get an empty page and dont know how to proceed.

What do I do wrong?

Greetings

Ralf

Do the other admin pages work?

The most common error is memory limitation
You can try to squeeze out more memory from your host by adding a line to your gallery2/config.php
just after line 28
@ini_set('display_errors', 0);
add:
@ini_set('memory_limit', '64M');

See if that helps as some hosts do not allow this or don't like it anyways.

It happened for my two sites hosted on same host, and the problem was the memory limitation. Increasing the memory will work for sure as stated by suprsidr.

Hi - seems not to change anything.

The other Admin-Pages seem to work - I haven't tested every option yet.

Can you create a phpinfo for me to see?

Ok, everything looks fine there.
Put gallery into debug mode and try to visit the Site-Administration -> Erweiterungen
Copy/paste the debug info to a txt file and attatch it here.
FAQ: How to set/use Gallery in debug mode?

Also check server error_log files for clues and you can use a tool like firebug to look for javascript errors and network responses.

Lastly you can PM me w/ admin credentials and I can try viewing the page through firebug.

This is the debug-output.

I fear I have no direct access to server log-files.

I could send you my access- data to the 1&1-Configpages where I can config everything I normally need. Or do you just need the Gallery-Admin-Data?

Usually the only way to diagnose blank pages (server 500 errors) is by looking to the logs
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:FAQ#What_is_the_webserver_error_log.3F

but we do know some of the causes that others have revealed.
try clearing the top 7 caches in http://www.zeltlager2012.kjr-rd-eck.de/gallery2/lib/support

run the upgrader to step2 system checks and relay any issues gallery reports http://www.zeltlager2012.kjr-rd-eck.de/gallery2/upgrade

How did you install gallery? did you use your host's one-click-install? or Gallery2's pre-installer? or our recommended installation method(unzip->upload->install)?

Also 1&1 has know issues and are not held in high regard with many php projects.

I'm trying to give you as much info to resolve this so we don't have to reply back and forth so much.
So please try all of these steps.

First many thanks for your help.

I will try the other steps later. For now it is running with the homepage of our summercamp and I have no time for long hunts :-)

I used the recommended installation method (unzip->upload->install).

I started the upgrader and now he works for more than five minutes on step two without showing any step forward. Is this normal?

No.

I think you will have to get a look at the server error_log. You may have to ask your host.
