cpg1.6 miscellaneous / Re: Can't upload pictures

Last post by phill104 - October 09, 2025, 01:55:56 PM

A 500 error could be many things. It is your server reporting that it has received a command that it cannot understand or process. For security reasons, most servers are setup to display a 500 error rather than the details of the actual error. Most hosts allow you to configure this, or will have logs available that detail the error. You may need to reach out to your hosting support to find out the actual error.

cpg1.6 miscellaneous / Can't upload pictures

Last post by typomaniac - October 08, 2025, 08:05:07 PM

Hi,
I'm running version 1.6.18 (stable) with MySQL Version: 5.7.44 & PHP Version: 7.4.10.
I had to go to 2 different browsers to get new folders but every time I try to upload pictures, everything is coming back with a 500 error after every file.
Is there something I need to do to fix this?
Thanx and you do have the best gallery (I've been using since 2011).

cpg1.6 upgrading / No Docs Folder

Last post by typomaniac - October 08, 2025, 07:40:34 PM

Hi, I need to upgrade from 1.6.18 (stable) to cpg1.6.x-1.6.27
I extracted all the files and was reading the Readme file and it said I could find all I need to know about this op in the Docs folder but looking through I'm not seeing this folder.
The webhost included the following information:
MySQL Version: 5.7.44
PHP Version: 7.4.10
My bad for not having kept the gallery up to date. I was trying to upload pictures to it but they're not uploading.
I don't want to jump into an upgrade blind and can't find the Docs folder.
~Thank you much, I have been using Coppermine since 2011 and love it.

Just saw this.  Thank you.

To unzip, simply remove the .txt part of the filename first and accept in windows that it will change they type of file. Then you can unzip the archive. I have done that part for you and attached the zip version

In your gallery file structure there is a directory called tools. So you will need to use either your hostings cpanel or an ftp tool to access that and upload the file. It cannot be done from within the gallery interface.

cpg1.6 permissions / Re: header.php only for Admin

Last post by ron4mac - October 04, 2025, 09:38:31 PM

There is no header.php so I'm not sure what you are referring to. But you can place the shell of an admin tool in tools to just present said links to you.

{edit} corrected an error in the sample tool

cpg1.6 permissions / header.php only for Admin

Last post by docjackdaniel - October 04, 2025, 04:33:15 PM

Hello, is there any way to secure the header.php only for admins ?

I put some links there to make a databasecopy and some other tools.
but i don`t want that every user couls follow my Links..
can i put a query in the header that the links are only shown for an admin user ?!
Or, better.. Some Links if it´s a user and other Links if it`s a admin ?!

I moved from GoDaddy to Siteground.  We would have to be online at the same time to get you in.  I don't remember you having to get into my host for gallery work.  I will send it to you privately.

cpg1.6 miscellaneous / Re: slow loading

Last post by fotohaefeli - October 02, 2025, 05:50:12 PM

hello phill,
first of all: Thank u veryvery much for take time to help me.
Can u do something for me? Can u click in my coppermine archive in the folder "aktuell" and count how many seconds it goes until u see the galeries inside them? i changed now my password in coppermine and maybe a complete re-install helps, but im not shure i can do that because i have much more than a half million pictures inside my archive and when i lost that all structure, i never cant reload that all. but i must solve the problem with that sluggy slow loading of my galeries.
again: thank u very much for helping and maybe we stay in contact
thanks and greetings from switzerland
