Nevermind, I got it figured out :)

Everything seems to be installed alright but for some reason the index page remains blank, even when I upload and image. I've reinstalled and it still doesn't work :(

Help?

Natascha,

there are two reasons which I found:

1) you posted the url "index2.php"
that is not existing
it is "index.php"

but this might be a typo

2) "coming soon" means mostly:

everything is installed and working, but no images

check which date you gave to your images?

are they posted into the future?

tell us about your progress :wink:

Thanks for having a look Connie but I got it worked out, I had forgotten to upload the language files [smacks forehead]. Thanks again for trying to help though, it's very much appreciated :D

Natascha,

thanks for telling me the reason why it did not work, because we are collecting information for a FAQ and I never had this situation ;=)

so I will add this question to our FAQ (which is in "statu nascendi" as chemistry people say...)

i have just installed pp, and uploaded 3 images. there's nothing at all on the index page (www.900hp.com/photo) and no thumbnails were created. what do i need to do?

here is some information i can give you from the admin pages:

PHP-version 4.2.2

MySQL version 3.23.58

GD-lib

Server software Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.2.2 mod_perl/1.26

EXIF Your php does not seem to be compiled with exif-enabled.

Permissions

Images folder
Images folder is writable, which is a good thing.

Thumbnails folder
Thumbnails folder is writable.

thanks much, matthew

Matthew,

do these photos appear in the images-directory, their thumbnails in the thumbnails-directory?

which date did you give these images?

did you decide which template you will use?

is this template existent?

c,

photos are loaded at http://www.900hp.com/photo/images/

nothing is in the thumbs directory.

i selected the standard template "pixelpost dark."

thanks for helping, m

Guest,

did you upload the photos using FTP or did you use the "New Image"-form in the admin-panel?

if you uploaded using the admin-panel the thumbnails must show
if not, try to re-generate them (admin panel as well)

if you uploaded via FTP, you must go two steps:
- generate the thumbnails via admin panel
- edit the entries via "images" in the admin panel so that you will have title, date etc.

C,

sorry, didn't sign my name (matthew) to that last post...

i have been uploading via the admin panel only.

maybe i don't have GDlib installed to make the thumbnails. but i am still confused by the empty index page.

thanks, m

Sorry Matthew, I need glasses!

PHP-version 4.2.2

MySQL version 3.23.58

GD-lib

this is a minor small bug which is misleading sometimes:

if there is only GD-lib and no version number, it means that GD-LIB is not installed....

so it will not work
ask your provider to install it for you!

This will be a good topic for the FAQ which is growing in the moment ,=)

well, this seems to be a contradiction ..,

check it using a simple php-testfile:

test.php:

<?

phpinfo();

?>

upload this to your webspace and call it from your browser, find the Information about GD-LIB in this section:

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.15 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
T1Lib Support enabled
GIF Read Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
T1Lib Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled

is it any problem?

check the relative image path in the Admin>>Options.
UPDATE:
It seems that all thumbnails and images are created thus, my above statement is not going to help. BTW, your site does not recognize index.php as index and does not open your photo blog with the address http://www.900hp.com/photo/ and it needs http://www.900hp.com/photo/index.php . Tell you hoster to do it for you.

That's might be your main problem here.

Additionally, if you want to know what is the exact problem read the following text. It's a part of the FAQ that right now we are woring on:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Q: There is something's wrong with my photoblog but no error appear or I see a blank page. What did go wrong? What should I do?

A: Basically PHP error reporting is off on run-time of your server. If you want to know what's wrong with your Pixelpost codes which is written in php , you should turn on the error reporting.
insert the line

error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the top of the PHP file you are using. Open the page you had problem with in the browser and see the errors. Copy/Paste the error to the forum for more help. Pay attention that by reporting errors functionality of your photoblog may be affected and do this for temporary fixing purpose only.
