Failure in Installation

[copperwire]

Hi GauGau,
I have changed ALL the occurances of $HTTP_*_VARS to $_* . It took me a few hours to do it, so if you need the zip-file, let me know: http://www.notathing.com/contact/contact.htm. It seems to be working beautifully, except when I try to Batch add files: 404 Can't read that file. I think this is because I have moved everything from C-drive to D-drive.

Please tell me where I can change the path from c:/imagemagick/ to d:/imagemagick/

[Joachim Müller]

you change the path by clicking on "config" in the admin menu, not in a file, but this can not be the reason for a 404 error. Thanks for offering to let us have the files, but short vars are already in the devel version of coppermine.

Thanks for the help Joachim,

How can I get rid of the 404 (can't read that file) errors? Is there a version under development that I can use already?

[Joachim Müller]

you're free to check out the devel version from the cvs, but you have to be aware that the devel version comes without any support.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I found the following link: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/coppermine/devel/

Is there an FTP link or a way to download the files all at once?

(The notification of new posts is not working at the moment.)

Thanks,
Hennie

You can try using CVS. It would also make it easier to get your files synchronised as the developers update them. http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=89658

It's working beautifully - thanks!!!!!!!! I had to reinstall coppermine and add all the pics again, because I just couldn't get rid of the 404 errors. It has something to do with the database. I was not able to do a clean install and then insert my old database values into MySQL, without getting serious errors.

Here's how to get the 1.4.0 Alpha release if you have Windows:
1. Install TortoiseCVS. http://tortoisecvs.sourceforge.net/
2. Command Prompt to where cvs.exe is installed.
3. Type: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/coppermine login
4. Press enter twice.
5. Type: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/coppermine checkout devel

Maybe you don't need step 3. The version I've got (29 September 2004), seem to be very stable. There is one small problem though: Only the Default theme is available.

Thanks Joachim and TranzNDance for the help and for the excellent software.

I made the same mistake and included 'login'

It should just be
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/coppermine

All themes should be available.

Try running another 'CVS Update'.

That's great that you enjoy the software.

See this post by nibbler, which has a screenshot of the tortoise login page for the dev module.  Makes it dead easy to do;

1. Sorry, the Themes are working perfectly. (Config)
2. Nibblers post looks better. You have to right-click and choose "CVS Checkout" to get that screen.
3. If somebody needs some cheering up: http://www.notathing.com/coppermine/

Have a good one,
