The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL: http://cv41.org/photos/gallery
Gallery version: 1.5.7
Apache version: Apache/1.3.37
PHP version: PHP/4.4.5
Graphics Toolkit: Netpbm
Operating system: Linux 2.4.31
Web browser/version: FireFox 2.0.0.14 / IE 6

Attempting to run find_orphans.php prior to migrating to G2. FireFox results in a blank screen. IE results in a "page could not be displayed. Cannot find server or DNS" Error

I've upped the PHP memory_limit to 64M
Removed an entire sub-album.
Broke up albums with more that 100 photos into smalled nested albums.

None of this has helped.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Eagle3,

when bharat invented Gallery 1, it was made for *some* family photos.
He never dreamed about Gallery becoming so popular, thus the code is ... kinda not so good ;-)
~15.000 items is really A LOT for a G1 install.

So in your case you can only try to increase the memory limit (and execution time) again. (Don't forget to restart the apache)
Or try to migrate to G2 without this check.

Sorry for not giving a better answer.

Thanks Jens,

Thats pretty much what I thought, but you always hope there's a simpler solution. I migrated my smaller, family gallery 1 to G2 today and that was pretty painless. I'll try the big one after I figure out all of the configuration for G2.

Thanks,
Buzz (E3)
