Well, sure didn't take me long to have my first problem with G2 :)

I was trying to rotate an image, and got an "500 Internal Server Error". Now the picture doesn't show. It's listed in the album still but no thumbnail appears, and if I try and do anything with it I get "500 Internal Server Error", including trying to delete it. I uploaded it again thinking it'd overwrite it but now I just have an additional picture (which works) with the same name in the album. How can I axe/surgically-remove the problem picture? I have access to phpmyadmin.

Thanks!

By the way, it'd be nice if "Edit Picture" didn't take you to a tab that had to load Java. That's a slow process if all you actually want to do is rotate. Maybe make the "Modify Photo" tab the default instead of "Crop Thumbnail"?

what's the exact G2 version?
and can you check your server error log to shed more light on the 500 server error?

I downloaded the Beta 2 tar.gz package from SourceForce. I can't find anywhere in G2 to give you a more-specific version than that.

It looks like the error in the logs is "Premature end of script headers: /powweb/web/cgi-bin/php4"

So once you had me look at the error, I used it to search the forums. One idea was to disable GD. Once I did this, I was able to delete the problem image and successfully rotate the 2nd copy I had uploaded.

Looks like there are common problems with gd?

for most people the default tab is "General", but we don't have any specific code to set the default tab.. i think it's just using whichever was registered first. you could file a feature request to have a default enforced.
