Hello there.

I'm trying to setup the photoshare module in my postnuke site. And i'm getting this results...

I've saw the Terrah post where you advise her to use some different name to Temp (something different from '/tmp')... I've tryied some chages and i'm still getting the same errors...

In my Photoshare Admin page i see these informations...

Save images in files on disc X
Save images in database O

Your PHP server has "open_basedir" set to:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs:/tmp
Your directories must reside under this directory.

Photoshare is installed in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs/modules/photoshare

Folder for storing image files on disc (if required) [/photos ]
Folder for temporary files [/photos ]



For your information... Since i'm on a shared server, i don't have the root privileges...

What should i do to ?

I've some questions too...

First...
Your PHP server has "open_basedir" set to:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs:/tmp

Is it right ?
I think that we have something stranger here: httpdocs:/tmp
This colon sounds strange... :casstet:

Second...
Folder for storing image files on disc (if required) [/photos ]

Where in directory tree will be this folder '/photos' that i've informed ?
[pnroot]/photo ?
[pnroot]/modules/photoshare/photo ?


Best Regards !

p.s.: Sorry about my bad english...

Ok, I am replying to you. But you need to understand that it cannot made clearer in the module than it already is.

In my Photoshare Admin page i see these informations...

Save images in files on disc X
Save images in database O

Your PHP server has "open_basedir" set to:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs:/tmp
Your directories must reside under this directory.

Photoshare is installed in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs/modules/photoshare

Folder for storing image files on disc (if required) [/photos ]
Folder for temporary files [/photos ]




So why is your TEMPORARY DIRECTORY (/photos) NOT set to either something below /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/httpdocs (with a CHMOD 777) or /tmp.
/photos is underneath your ROOT (/) which you are of course not able to write.

I would suggest using the following for your images:

/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/photoshare_images

And then make that directory chmod 777 (read-write-exec for all).

First of all... Thank you both for reply...

I've never tryed to create folders parallel to httpdocs... I'll try to do it now...

But if this 'logic' is right i can choose /httpdocs/photos right ?
Since the 'root' is '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/publish.eyekon.tv/'...

well... I still don't get where the directory i choose in Photoshare admin will be located...

mmm...
Permission denied to create folders under httpdocs...

I'll try the second option... set the photoshare admin to /httpdocs/photos

mmm... no good news...
I'm with the same problem...

Now trying to use [/httpdocs/photos ]

Adding image Republica #001 (89518 bytes): Could not create image(3,/var/tmp/IMGXVI6FD)

YUHHU !!!!!!!!!!!

I've solved the problem !!! ;)

I use [../httpdocs/photos ] and it works... :D

But... Now i'm with a new problem... hehehe
I've uploaded one image... I see the thumb, but clicking the image i get a broken image... :(

Any ideas ?

Finally... I've solved the problem again deactivating the compression and everything is working now...

Really thank you...

Best regards and thank you for this fabulous tool !

I had the same problem. And for me the solution in creating a directory httpdocs/fotos and telling Photshare to use the dir ../httpdocs/fotos worked as well.

Thanks CaptainBlah for sharing the problem and solution

You should be aware that placing images in a folder beneath "httpdocs" makes them available for the webserver. This means a user can point his browser directly to the images files and thereby bypassing Photoshare's access control.

U R L come... :D



Is there a way to avoid this ?
Could Photoshare access files that the browser can't ?

Since Photoshare runs as a PHP program separate from the web server it can in principle access all files on the web server, but most ISP's restricts PHP's access so it can access only the directories that belongs to the customer. Some ISP's have a file system structure like this:

/users/your_domain_name/httpdocs

or

/users/your_domain_name/public_html

Then they grant read/write access to anything below "/users/your_domain_name/" which means you could place your Photoshare directories in "/users/your_domain_name/photoshare". This should then be outside the webserver's reach.

But then - your installation might be without access to "/users/your_domain_name/" and only access to "/users/your_domain_name/httpdocs" in which case you cannot do anything about it.

There's a bit more about this in the article on the front page.

I GOT IT...

Just perfect...

Thanks J?rn
