Hi, So tried to install gallery, im not sure if its a problem with gallery or fantastico.

When i look at the overview, its says

Missing optional binary pnmcomp. Without pnmcomp and pamcomp gallery will not be able to watermark images, unless you use ImageMagick and have the composite binary installed.

12 of 13 NetPBM binaries located.

the locations for the netpbm are here /etc/netpmb/

When i check the status os the netpbm binaries, everything is ok theres no errors anyone had this problem ?

Ok so then i copy the same exact folder which was there to
/home/test/public_html/netpmb

and it then it finds all 13 of 13, so its exactly the same folder i've moved, any ideas?

and by default what should be status green in install, if i put jhead in a location such as /usr/bin/jhead will it automatially pick it up ?

also does it still require the user the chmod all the directorys ?

Gregh, not surw why it would find 12 in /etc/netpbm and all 13 in /home/test/public_html/netpbm...

As for jhead, you need to enter the path to the binary in the config, like //home/test/public_html/netpbm/jhead if thats where you place it.

As fpr chmod, yes, the binary files and the directory they reside in, need to be 755.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, but my netpbm directory was in public_html folder from the beginning, and in fact I didn't have all the binaries there, but now I uploaded the rest of them (downloaded from soundforge), placed them in that folder, and changed their permissions (755). I ran the config wizard and the diagnostics... and it still sees 12 out of 13 :(

I also can't get through the whole config wizard as it says at the end (last step) that it can't write to the config.php and .htaccess files (even though I changed their permissions to 777:

Error: File config.php is not writable by the webserver - chmod it 777 before proceeding. See documentation for more details. 

Error: File .htaccess is not writable by the webserver - chmod it 777 before proceeding. See documentation for more details.

did you experience permissions problem like I did? with the .htaccess and config.php files (even after changing their permission levels to 777) ?

nope thats all ok, what i do have a problem with is i get this warning in netpbm

Note: Your NetPBM directory (/usr/bin/) is not in your open_basedir list
/home/popop/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp
The open_basedir list is specified in php.ini.
The result is, that we can't perform all of our basic checks on the files to make sure that they exist and they're executable.

now would this cause a problem ? anyway around it at all ????
