Setting up image path...

[niks_007]

Dear Sir,
        My two sites are hosted on the same server. where i can share the database by changeing database connectivity details in config.inc.php file. after that the second site shows tha category and files names on the copermine galleary but images are not displayed. please let me know from where i can set the image path so it can retrive images corresponding to database data from my other sites url from where the database is used connected.

            i want to show the same images used in one site on other sites gallery the data base can be shared by giving the databse details. but need to set images path as images are not show.

ex:-
site 1 :- http://www.abc.com/gallery/

Are you on linux or windows server?

Also give us the real URLs instead of dummy.

You will have to create a symlink to achieve what you want.

Suppose the path to original gallery (where actual images are stored) is "/home/lakesparadise/public_html/wallpapers/" and the second gallery is "/home/bollywoodplus/public_html/wallpaper/" then follow the steps below (The paths used are just for example. Replace them with your real paths)

• Rename the albums directory of bollywoodplus gallery i.e. rename "/home/bollywoodplus/public_html/wallpaper/albums" to say "/home/bollywoodplus/public_html/wallpaper/albumsOld".
• Create a symlink "/home/bollywoodplus/public_html/wallpaper/albums" which will point to "/home/lakesparadise/public_html/wallpapers/albums"
• The command to create a symlink will be "ln -s /home/lakesparadise/public_html/wallpapers/albums /home/bollywoodplus/public_html/wallpaper/albums"

If you are on a shared webserver then you will have to ask your webhost to create symlinks.

Note: If you don't know how to create symlinks and what does it mean then i suggest you ask your webhost to do the same.

Hi.......
         Thanks Mr. Abbas.

Ya we have same web server. actually i have purchased a resaller plan from a webhosting company. and they have provied us cpanel and web host manager to create hosting planes. lakesparadise.com is the main account there and bollywoodplus is created by me.

I have reded about symlinks after you wrote here. now please let me know it is possible for me to set symlinks for me. and how is gonna help me becouse i want when some one take a look as the property of a image the url path should not indicate the real lakesparadise.com path it should be like bollywoodplus.com path or somehting else.

if i cant create a symlink then what i have to ask my web hosting company to do...

i am realy thankfull for you that you are helping me...

Yes the urls won't indicate that the images are coming from different site.

If you have SSH access then you can create the symlinks by yourself else ask your webhost to do the same.
