I read through a lot of threads here and I can't seem to find the answer.

I'm running an apache server with PHP 4 and MySQL and I get to the main install screen where it prompts for admin name, password, server name, etc... and it does finish fine. WHen I log in using the admin account, it goes to a Welcome screen, then back to a screen that says "no imae to display" and there only these options, none of which do anything:

Am I missing something? I couldn't get ImageMagick to install (said it could not find convert.exe and to try GD but I had no clue how to get that sucker installed!)

In a nutshell, what am I missing? This is an amazing script and I really wanna use it.
Thanks,
Dennis

The fact you can't login indicates a cookie problem. Even when you fix that you won't get very far without either GD or IM to manipulate the images with.

post a link to your site for a start, so we can check if the cookie issue is client or server related.

DennyD,

Nibbler is right. It sounds like a cookie problem with your client web browser. But as GauGau suggested, post a link ot your CPG installation so we can verify.

I am assuming that you are using a Windows server because you are referencing convert.exe. Make sure you install the W32 binary of ImageMagick from ImageMagick.org. If you have done this then it sounds like a permission problem. Make sure Active Directory can see convert.exe and that the proper permissions are set so that the webserver can access and execute convert.exe.

Personally I would recommended a Linux Server... but that's me being an ass towards M$. :-)
