Hello,

I have a problem to add items from the local server.

Following situation:

I have Win2kPro with Apache as local testing environement.
Installation, album importing from gallery 1 worked fine.

My root document is D:/apache-documents, and gallery2 is installed in
D:/apache-documents/gallery2

In this directory I created an subdirectory "upload" for ftp-uploads, and I copied some images inthere, so that I can make add items->"transfert from local server".

As path I give D:/apache-documents/gallery2

Then I click on this path, it fills in the field, I add /upload, so the
transfert-path gets D:/apache-documents/gallery2/upload in the textfield.

Then I click on "find files".

I get the following error message:
"The directory you entered is illegal. It must be a sub directory of one of the directories listed below"
(Well, the directory listed below is D:/apache-documents/gallery2)

I dont understand.

The same directory in add items->"from webbrowser" workes fine.

Is it a missunderstanding from me, or a bug?

By the way: I like a lot this gallery2!!

Thanks a lot - Diety

Go to your Site Admin / General page and look at the section called "Local Server Upload Paths".. you need to add an entry here. You could add your "upload" directory , for example..

Diety, try adding a trailing SLASH to your directory specification in the "Site Admin" in General at "Local Server Upload Paths". Like this:

D:/apache-documents/gallery2/

And try again if it works.
