Server Upgrade

[portkey]

My server was recently toyed with and a few things changed. The server folder leading to my gallery used to be /home2/ but now it's /home/. I can't seem to remember how to change this. Coudl someone please tell me?

I don't understand your question. Post a link to your site.

Basically, when I try to upload files, it says that my host does not support GD Image Library. I contacted my host and they told me to change the server folder it was in.
For example, the folder would like this:

/home/portkey/public_html/gallery/

Check phpinfo if you actually have GD (refer to the FAQ). I still can't see how this is supposed to be related to folders.

I've checked the FAQ and it's helped somewhat. I just need to know how to change the URL to find where my php files are stored. Anyone know how?

[Joachim Müller]

I still don't understand your question: if you need to know the absolute path your files have on your server, create a phpinfo file as suggested in the faq, upload it and browse it. You should see the absolute path in phpinfo. If this is not the answer to your actual question, please describe it with more detail, and mind the words (path vs. url vs uri etc.).

I don't want to just see the path. My host said that in order to get GD Image Library working, I would need to change the path to the gallery that was supposedly set when I installed it.

[Joachim Müller]

That is just plainly wrong: either you have GD support built into PHP, or you don't have it. The location where you gallery is on the server doesn't matter at all, as long as php files are being parsed in this particular path on your webserver. I guess there has been a misunderstanding, could you post what your webhost actually told you to do?

He said:

you need to edit the direct paths to /home/ from /home2/

Basically what I think he's trying to say is change the path that locates the php files and the GD Image Library.

[Joachim Müller]

I don't think so, I guess there are two paths on your webserver. Use ftp to look into your path structure. I guess this is something you will have to discuss with your webhost in detail.
