Hi,

I admit I feel a bit lost. If I try to upload photos, I fail miserably. The upload dialog looks fine, the backgrounds of the photos' names turn from yellow to green, I can close the upload dialog. But nothing is on the server. No errors in any log files. I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

Is there a way to check, if all php5 modules are correctly loaded (filter, json, simplexml)? How to manually add them?

Thanks a lot for the help.
Martin

Ok, I found out how to check the php5 installation. All ok, json, simplexml and filter are enabled.

Are you still having problems then?

Want it easy and just working out of the box, try this:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

I haven't installed their Linux package, just the Windows one, but it just works. I'll need to double check what all I've installed on my Debian server to see what config I know works.

Hi,

Well, I still got the problems. But XAMPP should not be necessary on a distribution with a good online repository. Since others may run into the same problem (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will be around for another 3.5 years...) I would like to know the real cause of the issues. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

If you know what you installed on your debian system, I would be happy if you could tell me and I will crosscheck.

Cheers
Martin

This is everything I installed to get it running under Lighttpd.

But when I switched/added Apache into the mix I know there was an additional Apache module I had to install, but don't recall just what it was. I think it might have just been the non CGI version of php.

Aha. php5-cgi was missing. Whether this was the reason, I do not yet know. Will test the next Gallery3 release and report the results in this forum.
