Gallery Upgrade Issue

[digitaljit]

Hi,

Please help a novice. :dunno:

My fantastico was showing that there was an upgrade to the Gallery and I have click on the upgrade link.
The first part of the upgradation was successful.

For the upgrader to finish, I was instructed to visit..

http://www.digitaljit.x10hosting.com/mygallery/

which redirects me to

http://www.digitaljit.x10hosting.com/mygallery/upgrade/index.php

Upon authenticating myself, I am getting the following error at the system check...

-------------------

Thanks in advance.

Go through all the gallery files looking for readfile() and replace it with file_get_contents.

So, readfile("test") should become file_get_contents("test")

That should work i think

Thanks for the reply. But as I am a novice, could you please tell me which files? FYI, I have a free account and can access my public_html folder via ftp.

Couldnt he just edit the php.ini file to contain that readfile() function?? I have heard places that this could be done, or am I just getting the wrong idea here??

I doubt you would loose all your images, as this is a mere upgrade installation, so it shouldnt effect the files you have stored in the gallery, just the way they are handled by the software!

Thanks for the help. But I cannot locate the php.ini file. I have searched the gallery folder but unable to find it.

then can't you simply create one? don't take my word for this, i am a bit of a PHP novice!

But from reading other posts, I think this might be possible!

Yes, Zenax is right. There isn't usually gonna be a php.ini file that comes with your script, this is simply stored in the root of the PHP core files. I'm not really familiar with configuring php.ini, but I know you can use it to allow features that were previously disabled to enable them just in the directory you put it in, and its subfolders.

Backup all your images from w/e folder and make a new one using a diffrent software

Hi Everybody.

Ok. I don't mind if I cannot upgrade. I see that I have a backup of my Gallery ( mygallery.backup.1176036319.tgz ) under the folder /fantastico_backups/

How do I restore this? Can somebody do this for me?

A thank everybody for all the help they have given.

Warm Regards

Erm, create this in the root of your gallery (In the main folder).

Create a php.ini file, in it put:

disable_functions=""

That should stop the errors.

Try

disabled_functions=

or

disabled_functions=""

One of those should work, i'm doing this off the top of my head at the moment

Hi Everybody

Firstly, let me thanks you for taking the time to help me. My gallery 2.2 upgrader still is giving the errors after all your suggestions.

I had posted at http://gallery.menalto.com regarding this issue ( http://gallery.menalto.com/node/63306#comment-230991 ) and have go the following reply....

Posted: Sun, 2007-04-15 06:48 please ask your webhost to enable the php function "readfile" again. it's pointless to diasable it "for security purposes", since you can emulate readile with 2-3 lines of php code anyway.
and if your webhost argues that we should use some emulation code since it's so easy, ask your webhost if all code should do be done based on the most basic operations.

So it seems, the disabling issue is from the server side and not in my hand. Can the system administrator help me in this matter. I am very greatful to you all for this assistance.

Else the only resort for me is to delete my gallery and re-create it...which is very painful for me.

Thanks again.
