cpg1.6 install / Re: Fresh Install with Install...

Last post by ron4mac - April 19, 2025, 02:16:23 PM

The php.ini file is not a part of CPG. It is a system file that sets values to control how PHP operates. Depending on what package you have with Hetzner, you may have to have them make necessary configuration changes. If you have an unmanaged plan, it could be a bit of a challenge to find where and what modifications are needed.

It is quite likely that Wordpress just doesn't need to have some PHP features that CPG requires.

(edit) A work-around could be by using the attached install.php file in place of the normal one. Replace the normal one, remove the config.php file, then go here: https://diego-luna.com/gallery/install.php?step=1
(ignore a complaint about a modified install.php file)

Ron:

Further question if I may? Why was I able to install Wordpress but not Coppermine?

Ron:

Where would I find the PHP.ini file? Is that in the Coppermine files, or someplace else on the server? Thanks so much.

It would seem that PHP on your server has been configured with some restrictions. If you are able, check your php.ini to see whether the exec() function is disabled.

What is the 500 error? You will need to check the server logs to find out what the actual error is.

cpg1.6 install / Fresh Install with Installer S...

Last post by nowordneeded - April 15, 2025, 12:40:50 PM

Hello:

I've been trying for the better part of two days to try to install a fresh copy on a new site using both the installer stub. Each time I do, I get a white screen directly after I select which version I want to use. When I refresh I get "Please first delete the log file: installer.log.txt." When I do that, I go back to the screen to select which version I want. Basically, I'm thrown into a loop.

I've tried just uploading the files directly to the server via FTP, and I get to step 4, and it goes to a 500 error. When I try to add the database information directly to a created config.php file, it tells me the installer was already run and the file is locked.

I'm trying to install version 1.6.28 here: https://diego-luna.com/gallery.

The Wordpress installation worked like a charm. I've yet to have Coppermine act like this before.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

cpg1.6 permissions / CPG 1.6 - Safe to use

Last post by SolidSnake2003 - March 28, 2025, 04:27:02 AM

Is it still safe to use the current version of 1.6 of Coppermine Photo Gallery on a fansite? I ask cause I'm working on relaunching one of my fansites and want to use Coppermine as the gallery. I see that there hasn't been any updates for a year.
