Can someone please explain to a dummy (me) how to use the Server Add plug-in? I have it enabled, but every path I try returns this error: What gives? Clearly I'm not getting this. Thanks! |

Most likely an open_basedir restriction by your host. Post a link to phpinfo, this link explains how:

hmm, no open_basedir restriction. Make sure the directory has the permissions of 755 and make sure the path you are using is a system path like:
/home/YourUserName/photouploads/ or something like that, not http://www.example.com/gallery/uploads/

Still not getting any love.
Are you saying it doesn't need to be inside my site/G3 volume? I've tried both. I've tried volumes all over the place.
Thanks!

Give me an example of a path you've tried.

servername.dreamhost.com/UploadedPics
servername.dreamhost.com/username/UploadedPics
servername.dreamhost.com/domain/UploadedPics
servername.dreamhost.com/username/domain/UploadedPics
servername.dreamhost.com/domain/gallery3-1/UploadedPics
servername.dreamhost.com/username/domain/gallery3-1/UploadedPics
domain.com/UploadedPics
And a bunch more. Permissions on the folder I created are 755.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

None of those are going to work. You need to specify the full system path, not a URL:
/home/YourUserName/photouploads/ or /home/YourUserName/domain/gallery/UploadedPic or something like that, not http://www.example.com/gallery/uploads/ or servername.dreamhost.com/.....

similar to this:
/home/.fred/gallery23/Uploads
I am on the .fred server and gallery23 is my username.
so in your case it will be:
/home/.server you are on in dreamhost/your user name/UploadedPics

That did it!
I was trying to think it too much and not just copying what you suggested. I do that.
Now to play with the function!
Thanks!

On a related issue (Gallery3 beta 2), I have a server based directory structure (several layers deep) and quite wide that contains a number of jpg files (no access restrictions). How can I specify a path that will search through all the layers for new pictures?

OK, I figured it out and it is SLOWLY entering about 20,000 jpg files that are about 1.5 to 3 mb each.
