Bizarre Error Report After Upgrade (1.4.4)

[projectego]

Hi all,

I've been using Coppermine Photo Gallery for a few months now and simply love it, great program indeed. However, after performing my first upgrade today (v1.4.3 -> v1.4.4) I notice that there are a massive amount of errors on the versioncheck.php page. I am certain I followed the upgrade procedure down to the T so I am quite baffled.

Anyway, this is what is reported:

I'd hazard a guess that every essential file is reported as "missing", yet my gallery still seems to function correctly and I can assure you I have uploaded and overwritten the old files with the new v1.4.4 files. I can even click on the small white box to the left of the filenames and be redirected to the file, so I'm certain they are all there. I cannot work out for the life of me what is wrong or how it can be resolved. I performed a quick search but was not able to find any threads similar to my own.

As far as I can tell, everything is operating smoothly, but all those misisng file reports make me concerned that there is a problem somewhere that needs rectifying.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Sorry if I missed anything out.

You can ignore that, it doesn't work properly on all server setups.

I have the same problem, after I updated from 1.4.3 to 1.4.8 .

The issue is that:

Code Select Expand


// step three: go through all files that exist in the repository and check if they're on the webserver as well
if ($webroot == 1) {
$dir = ''; // this is the place to start browsing for root folders
} else {
$dir = '../'.cpg_get_coppermine_path().'/'; // this is the place to start browsing
}



Does not work for my installation.
I installed coppermine directly in the webroot. When running versioncheck.php the "$dir" variable looks in "..//" as a result of $webroot not being "1".

$webroot is 0 as a result of:

Code Select Expand


if (!$_REQUEST['changes']) { // set default settings for options
.....
$webroot = 0;
.....


When it looks for files in "..//" it will not find anything correctly and everything turns red.
Setting the $dir hard to './' works and everything turns green. There is probably something wrong with the path detection, or is this a configuration issue?

As suggested, version check doesn't work on all setups. Particularly, there are issues when it is being installed in your webroot. Just ignore it, as your users won't notice a difference - in fact, versioncheck is meant as a tool for newbies who have issues upgrading. If it isn't working as expected, just make sure that you have followed the upgrade intsructions to a T. If everything else is working as expected, then just ignore the fact that versioncheck doesn't work for you.
