Hi all,

Im having trouble rotating photos.
I turned on debugging mode and got some interesting and confusing errors:

jpegtopnm: WRITING PPM FILE
jpegtopnm: Error writing single byte sample to file
pnmtojpeg: EOF / read error reading magic number
Status: 1 (expected 0)

I am using the latest stable release of Gallery (v1.3), PHP4, and netpbm.

Any advice/solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Peace.
Foobonic.

Two things:
1. The latest version of Gallery is 1.3.1 -- it's got security fixes so install it today.
2. What happens if you run the commands by hand, a la FAQ C.2?

Ive actually upgraded to 1.3.1, but it shows at the bottom of the page version 1.3. Sorry about that.

I do not have the option of running command line commands. Everything i do in relation to my gallery has to be done via a web file managment system provided by my isp =/

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Peace.

Humm. It's going to be hard to figure this out without any debugging input :-/

You can try using different NetPBM binaries (try the ones from the Gallery download page).

Try asking your ISP for your Apache error log -- there's probably a clue in there.

You could try the latest bleeding edge Gallery code (see the download page) as it now supports ImageMagick which may work for you.
