Images can't be added

[Shelly]

I have trouble adding photos to my gallery lately. It's http://marina-diamandis.org/gallery

I usually add them to the folders via batch after uploading the images through FTP. Now, when I have uploaded an image and try to add a photo it works as usual, but then the photo is still not in the folder in the gallery I've out it into, although a thumb_x.jpg, normal_xx.jpg and all those things have already been created.

I don't know if I explained it well enough, however, can anyone help me with this problem?

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.27 (stable)-->

There's no support for cpg1.4.x since a half year. Upgrade to the latest cpg1.5.x if you need support.

Updated now

Does the issue still exists? If so, please explain again what happens exactly, as I don't understand what you mean with

Yes, the problem still occurs.

Well, when I open FTP, upload a file and then add the image via batch, this doesn't work properly. I click on the file in searchnew.php and try to choose the folder I want to picture to be added to. But for some reasons I am not able to add the pictures anymore, after a while loading only a symbol appears, that looks like a time-out-sign? The black/green circle, looks a bit like a clock thing. And the image is still not in the gallery folder, but when I check the place where I've uploaded it to, a normal_xx.jpg, orig_xx.jpg and thumb_xx.jpg have already been created. It's kinda hard to explain, but I hope it gets a little bit clearer now...

Please try to add the same picture with the simple upload form and/or the flash uploader. Additioinally, read and follow http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upload_troubleshooting.htm

When trying to upload images with the simple uploader as suggested the following error occurs:

Template error
Failed to find block 'file_line' (#<!-- BEGIN file_line -->(.*?)<!-- END file_line -->#s) in :
                    <div class="{CSS_CLASS}">
                        <h2>{HEADER_TXT}</h2>
                        <span class="cpg_user_message">{MESSAGE}</span>


                        <br /><br />
                    </div>

I found this thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,67645.msg335719.html#msg335719 where a similar error occurred and "Brooklyn" gave some possible ways to solve the problem, but could you explain me how to check for table faults through phpMyadmin? ("I have seen database and table faults result in these types of errors. To investigate, access phpMyAdmin and select each table one after another for errors.") I know how to access phpMyadmin, but where do I look next?

1) Try using the Curve theme:
http://marina-diamandis.org/gallery/index.php?theme=curve
If that then works, try fixing / updating your theme as instructed in the docs.

2) Fix / update your theme anyway...it does not look right.
Then return after following all of the instructions as Αndré indicated, including the test album and user requirements.

[Shelly]

I don't think the error has something to do with the theme itself, since it already occurred before I updated the gallery to the newest 1.5 version. However, I've created a test-user account, it's "tester" and the password is the same. The test-album is placed under "Miscellaneous pictures".

[Αndré]

When I try to upload a (small) picture it lasts a quite long time before it continues and the error occurs. I tried your theme as well as the themes curve and water_drop, it happens with every theme. Looks like some weird timeout issue.

I don't know how you can check it with phpMyAdmin, but you can try to repair your tables with the sql command REPAIR, e.g.

Code Select Expand

REPAIR TABLE cpg_pictures

[Shelly]

Where exactly do I have to type this in?

[Shelly]

Oh, I just found it out. I've entered REPAIR TABLE cpg_pictures but it said:

Error: Table 'marinadi_gallery.cpg_pictures' doesn't exist...
Status: Operation failed

Does this just mean there's nothing wrong or could this be the problem?

[Αndré]

Of course you have to adjust the table prefix to your setting. It's probably cpg15x_pictures

[Shelly]

Oh, haha, did that. It seems like this wasn't the problem that caused the error, though
