I downloaded the preview version for Mac OS X. I attempted to fetch albums but I geep getting "Invalid Login Information." Yet, when I take the same url, go to a browser and enter the same userid and password, I can login there.

Any ideas? Need any more information?

Thanks

I have the same issue. Worked fine with the '.4' version with gallery 1.3.1 but the 1.0 preview gives me the 'invalid login information' error. I'm running this on win2k SP2.

Can some or all of you send me logs so I can try to figure out what's going on?

To send the log, modify your remote.properties file in the Gallery Remote 1.0 directory to set the following property:

logLevel=3

Then run GR 1.0 and replicate the problem and send me the log.txt file (there is some private info in there, but I don't print the passwords).

Thanks for your help!

And yes... me too. On all my galleries across 2 servers and a couple domains. I'm sending my logs!

Thanks

me too. On top of that, I don't see the "remote.properties" file at all. Can log on fine using a browser.
OS X 10.2

The remote.properties file should be in the same folder as the Gallery application. It is created the first time you run GR.

I have found and fixed a problem with Java 1.3.x where the combo box of gallery URLs was not being handled correctly because the events are fired very differently than in 1.4 :sad:

I think this was the problem you were seeing, so I suggest you upgrade to the latest daily build. Also, you should trash your current remote.properties, since GR may have saved incorrect login information to it.

The semi-daily builds at Jesse's are up and should work fine as patches to your installation.

A friend and I were testing last night and he had trouble authenticating. He was entering the URL in the form http://www.server.com/modules/gallery and was getting authentication errors. When he removed "http://" from the string, he was able to authenticate.

Hi,

To follow up on what's being reported here... I'm running OS X 10.2 as well and I get the same error (Invalid Login Information)

The pertinent line from the log file is:
<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE> 1032369412583|INFO |GalleryCom|[Login] Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: empty string </TD></TR></TABLE>

There is no remote.properties file being created

well , the login problem is solved, but the thumbs are not working very well.

it display the thumbs very.... let's say randomly. 1 yes 1 no then 2 in a raw yes .. then the next 3 no... and it takes for ever to display the thumbs when they are displayed.

is this has something to do with JVM 1.4.1 that I download ? should I come back to JVM 1.3.x ?

thank

The remote.properties file is created when GR quits, maybe the log holds a clue to why the file is not being created. Could it be that the folder where you installed GR is read-only for the user who is running GR?

The remote.properties should reside in the user prefs dir. I'll change that stupid behavior right away.

I haven't tested on Java 1.4.1 yet. It may cause problems; I heard 1.4.1 was full of holes.

Currently the preferred VM is 1.4.

Have any of you guys upgraded to GR 1.0b5? Does it fix the problem?

If you want to avoid downloading new builds or new versions of the JVM, I discovered a simple workaround.
Open the remote.properties file in a text editor, and add your URL where it has a blank URL listed.

This worked for me on WinME, YMMV.

Right, this is exactly what's wrong :smile:

I would still suggest upgrading to newer builds, because the bug is now fixed, and new builds are tiny (~ 300k). They are not full installs, just patches.
