Pictures won't display. Help!

Thursday 13 May 2004 8:30:39 am

I've been using MySQL 4.0.18 with php 4.3.5 and phpbb 2.0.8 with IIS on Win2000 Server with no problems. I wanted to try Ez-Publish's Photo Album. So I downloaded Apache 1.3.29 and Ez-Publish 3.3.4. It installed ok. However, I can't see any pictures I put on the Photo Album. I only see a white dot or a 1cm white box. In IIS with phpbb it works fine with any picture extension so the problem must be between Apache, gd and Ez-Publish. I have the php_gd2.dll is in the System32 folder and is un commented in the php.ini. Apache starts without errors, but one- [warn]:(mod_php4.c is already added; skipping). If that means anything to you guys. Don't know what I can do to remedy this. I looked at a bunch of Google suggestions form different sites but none of them helped. I'm hoping that having IIS and Apache taking from the same php install isn't a problem. You can see both the phpbb and the problem with Ez-Publish at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1tvxm/pete/
Scroll down and on the left in a white and red box are the 2 links you need. Thanks alot guys. Any other info you need I will be glad to post.

I'm a total n00b at this so please forgive me. The Photo Gallery is running on a server that is not a part of my website. The website is hosted by Verizon, and I am trying Ez-Publish out as a personal project on my own server at my home. I just linked to it from my Verizon website. That being said, I found the file "site.ini.append" for the Gallery. Here is the entire text:
<?php /* #?ini charset="utf8"?

[SiteSettings]

SiteName=Gallery

I don't know exactly what to do about your suggestion of the debugoutput section. What should I do? (I'm no programmer as you can tell, although I have an MCSA). Thanks again.

Thanks again. I have a couple of questions.
When I added that text to Debug to the append file it saved the file as text out of Wordpad. Is that ok? Should I have used a different program to edit the append file? I have the original so I could do it over with something else.
I rebooted the server and I think that took care of the cache.
Second: The debug messages are the ones at the bottom of the Ez-Publish Gallery when I logon, right?
Thanks again.

As i can understand reading the debug output, probably you dont have a image hanlder installed.
You need imagemagick or GD.
GD is used on many hosting companies.
And if you dont see any image, is becasuse magemagick or GD are missing or bad configuration.

I can sugest you, first take a look on the documentation:
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation

And about instalation methods:
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/toc/(from)/34400

Just a quick tip:
When you have started the instalation, you see a screen with a option to "fine tune" (or something like this, dont remenber) the system.
This option gives you important information about things missing or things you need improve.
This includes the image handler.

good luck
