Cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path

I forgot to mention - I verified the path ../var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

is correct the wpg2imageblock.tpl is right there and I have manually tried to validate the path

../var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpg2 in the WPG2 Paths settings.

I am getting the exact same issue. I've tried several alternative ways of typing in the path, but it hasn't resolved anything.

Is the Gallery 2 directory _supposed_ to be inside the Wordpress one?

Thank you! That got it going again. I used ../wp-content/plugins/wpg2 since my WP resides at the root level.

Leslie

Glad you got it working

It will be ../../blog/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

.. = go up a directory so you have to go up two directories to return to / then you are sweet

Have a similar problem. I would solve it but do not really know if the problem is the path or something else, maybe restrictions...

My gallery and blog run on two different subdomains:

For the gallery2 File Path I put
/var/www/vhosts/<my domain>/subdomains/pictures/httpdocs/

For the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path:
../../blog/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

while the file path is

/var/www/vhosts/<my domain>/subdomains/blog/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

I do not really get the failure that the path cannot be validated, but:

Fatal error: Class 'GalleryEmbed' not found in
/var/www/vhosts/<my domain>/subdomains/blog/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/wpg2embed.inc on line 42

Is it not possible two use the plugin over two subdomains, or what should I change?

Thanks in advance!

Ozgreg - would appreciate your assistance also.

my wordpress url is word.scottbsgallery.com
my gallery url is g2.scottbsgallery.com

the error given is Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path, while running Wordpress 2.5.1, & trying to validate wpg2 3.0.6.

thanks in advance!

UPDATE: - nutted it out! Thanks anyway.

well I managed to *jag* it - turns out I had to put in

../../../../blog/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

and that worked

just in case anyone else comes across the thing ;)

Aha - only alter the relative path

all go

Guessing it be be more like -> ../../subdomain/blog/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

Sorry Cantdothis,

As I cannot see your server, I can only guess what the relative path would be, only you or your hosting firm can provide you with the actual path..

After my provider has migrated my website, everything went wrong...

I had a beautiful integration between wordpress and gallery2 via the v3slider theme but I can't even modify the options anymore (always number 1 inserted).

So I decided to upload a fresh wpg2...

I have the same problem with the paths now...

My wordpress file are installed immediately under public_html (no wordpress subdirectory)
My gallery2 url is: http://d-eye.be/gallery2/
My gallery2 file path: /home/users/web/b1361/ipw.d-eyebea/public_html/gallery2
My gallery2 to wpg2 relative path: ../wp-content/plugins/wpg2

I tried different options for the last one but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?

OK. This one solved: I've put /../wp-content/plugins/wpg2 (leading slash did the trick)

I have fixed the weird URL's with info from http://codex.gallery2.org/Integration:WPG2_FAQ
But although WPG2 plugin states that everything is fine, I still get (http 500 Internal Server Error) when trying to view my Gallery from Wordpress..

[edit] scratch that - the weird urls are back even with the fixes list above..

I am running apparently into the same problem.
Gallery: 2.2.5
WP: 2.6
WPG: 3.0.7

gallery is at: http://www.mydomain.com/fotos
WP: http://www.mydomain.com/blog

Gallery2 File Path: /homepages/14/xxxx/htdocs/sites/mydomain/fotos
Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path: ../blog/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/

error: Validation Error: WPG2 plugin cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path /homepages/14/xxxxxx/htdocs/sites/mydomain/fotos../blog/wp-content/plugins/wpg2//templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

When I add a / at the end of the file path, I get a blank page below the main MWP menu (which is still visible).
When I add a / before the relative path, I don't get error, but the validation check still says "failed":

Thanks.

Leslie, Thanks for the direction. It worked.

DWRZ, in my case I had Gallery in a different subdirectory and had to hop up two to get to it.

../../wp-content worked.

Hi all,

I've completely lost the will to live on this one. My relative path validation piece for WG2 is simply refusing to work. For some reason, any combination of entries I make return the error ..

file /home/modonovan/~modonovan/gallery2/embed.php does not exist

Now my gallery like many in the examples about is in my public_html folder and simply called gallery2 (so the absolute path would be /home/modonovan/public_html/gallery2). In this folder is a embed.php file as below which the error reports is not there and it would appear that my permissions are set correctly...

-rw-r--r-- 1 modonovan users 2684 2006-12-20 00:24 embed.php

The absolute path of my wordpress install is /home/modonovan/public_html/wordpress - keep it simple so as to try and get it working.

The url of my site is http://www.mydomain.com/~modonovan/gallery2 for gallery and ~/modonovan/wordpress for wordpress.

With all this in mind I have completed the WG2 path form as follows:

Gallery2 URL: = http://www.mydomain.com/~modonovan/gallery2/main.php (have tried with main.php and with trailing /)
Gallery2 URL: = as above
Gallery2 File Path: have tried all of, ~/gallery2 ~/gallery2/ /gallery2 gallery2/ /gallery2/ /home/modonovan/public_html/gallery2 /home/modonovan/public_html/gallery2/

Each time the same error is returned when I try to validate it. I've also tried a number of times deactivating and reactivating the plugin to no avail.

Can some please point what is probably my glaringly obvious mistake? Is there something wrong with my wordpress or gallery2 path's as standalone applications?

Thanks in advance,

MickoD

hi there,

i have the same problem...
as everybody

I cannot get it working anyhow. attaching screenshot.

any help would be appreciated

EDIT: solved! oh man, the relative path must look like this to get it going:
../../../var/www/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

Have spent hours trying to get wpg2 configured. very very frustrated. i too have this same problem. i've read numerous posts and can't resolve it.
here's my info: gallery url: http://highfxtest.com/wp-content/plugins/gallery2/.
gallery2 file path: /homepages/32/d248266722/htdocs/highfxtest/wp-content/plugins/gallery2/.
relative path manually set to: ../wpg2; ../../../wp-content/plugins/wpg2; and many other variations. wpg2 saves this path but i still get the message that it's not validated.
any help identifying the correct relative path would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

yup. i've tried every combination i could think of.

WP 2.7
WPG2 3.07

None of these options have worked for me. This worked fine until I upgraded to WP 2.7. I have tried all kinds of combinations of paths and I can get the validation to work, but the random photo block blows up with "can't find templates..." errors. Gotta be a path issue of some sort. I don't even want the darn blocks. Can I just shut them off somehow?

Same error same issues I think I am going crazy.. I have tried everything any help would be greatly appreciated...

Gallery2
WordPress: 2.7.1.
Plugin: WPG2 3.0.7

Here is the deal..

Gallery2 Directory: http://5starunitedmedia.com/gallery2
WP Plugin Directory: /5startest.com/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

ERROR - Validation Error:

Validation Error: WPG2 plugin cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path /hsphere/local/home/<useraccount>/5starunitedmedia.com/gallery2/../wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

I have a lot of hobbies and that's good because I use the rule of thumb to work with all my capacity on something for a couple of weeks before either giving up or completing it. I hit a dead end on this one, and just gave up on it. It seems that the law of probablity would dictate at least a handfull of people would subscribe to 1and1 and be using Wordpress with Gallery2, but on the other hand, maybe once they got it working they are so exhausted they don't feel up to helping anyone else. I have run into that myself.

I am just speculating. There is also the possibility that maybe 1and1's business model doesn't like supporting these new types of "strap on packages" that take up a lot of space and resources (more than the past normal, simple business-card HTML hung-out "shingle"). Come to think of it, these new applications are becoming frightenly easy for the less-than-expert user to install and set up (recently I even scared myself when I was partially successfull at it). Just speculating but perhaps it's a good way to discourage installation of these, that is, add some quirk to the system to keep it from working right.

I don't know and I am only speculating, but the short answer to your question is "I gave up". (The older I get the more easy it is to say that ;-), e.g. it's not such a bad idea any longer.)

I tried the development version of WPG2 and got the same results, with a slight twist. This time there was a button that appeared on the WPG2 Paths option that said Validate. The development version "guessed" every one of the file paths correctly except the first, the URL of the Gallery2 (reasonable, since it was subdomain.domain.com). I entered the path then pressed the "Validate" button on "WPG2 Paths" screen and then both the "WPG2 Paths" screen went blank as well as the "WPG2" screen. It apparently really didn't validate (I got no message yea/nea.) Like before all the other options under the blank screen "WPG2" and "WPG2 Paths" (Gallery2 Rewrites, WPG2 Output, WPG2 Tags, etc.) displayed the error message that they were not available until the WPG2 Plugin is Validated.

So the short answer is no, I have not gone to a back level of WordPress yet; only tested current and development version of WPG2 Plug-in. If you want to test going backlevel with Wordpress, I will start testing back levels of WPG2. I can't begin until early next week, however.

we're running a multi user gallery2 on one virtual webhost and our customer's word/buddypress on another. paths look like ...

G2: /home/gallery/public_html/<customer>
WP: /home/<customer>/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

I was able to validate the Gallery2 File Path: /home/<customer>/public_html/<customer>/ fiddling with /etc/group and symbolic links, but I can't get the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path right.

My settings:

Gallery2 URL: http://gallery.<domain>.be/<customer>/
Gallery2 File Path: /home/<customer>/public_html/<customer>/ (*)
Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path: ../../../<customer>/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpg2

(*) note: this last directory is a symlink to /home/gallery/public_html/<customer>

Results in:

Validation Error: WPG2 plugin cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path /home/<customer>/public_html/<customer>/../../../<customer>/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

When I try ...

Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path: ../wp-content/plugins/wpg2

This results in:

Validation Error: WPG2 plugin cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path /home/bunker/public_html/bunker/../wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

Is it possible to get G2 and WPMU + WPG2 working when they reside in two different root folders anyway?

Can anyone help me?

Here is my situation:
I am running:
WP: 2.8.4
G2: 2.3
WPG2: 3.0.7

I have successfully installed G2 at photos.thejourneyler.org/g2
I have successfully installed wordpress at pro.thejourneyler.org/wordpress/
As I understand WPG2 to work, I should be able "pull"/"embed" galleries from photos.thejourneyler.org to embeded wordpress pages at pro.thejourneyler.org

This is the error I get:

Validation Error: WPG2 plugin cannot validate the Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path /home/<username>/photos.thejourneyler.org/g2/
../../home/<username>/pro.thejourneyler.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/templates/wpg2imageblock.tpl

Here are my settings:
Gallery2 URL: http://photos.thejourneyler.org/g2/
URL to WPG2 Output: Set automatically.
Gallery2 File Path: /home/<username>/photos.thejourneyler.org/g2/
Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path: ../../home/<username>/pro.thejourneyler.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wpg2
On Gallery Error Redirect to: <I don't think this is relivant>

I have tried several combinations of "../" and "/../" and "../../" as you can tell from my Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path setting I have added "../.." before the default "/home/..." I have tried only modifying the relative path. nothing seems to work... What am I missing?

If you have any clues to how I should set the relative path setting so that it validates I would appreciate them.
