Hello;
I successfully installed a previous build of zenphoto on one site, so when a friend asked for something similar I jumped in confidently....
Different server, in a development subdomain presently, installed 1.0.2 directly, set up the database and all by the book (I think)...
Everything seems to be working as expected except for the thumbnail generation. They aren't showing up and the cache directory remains empty no matter what I do. I think I have the paths and database right because the file names show up, the large images show up and the comments work. (Actually, if the problem is with GD then maybe the large images will have problems too - I uploaded them to the correct size instead of uploading large images that have to be resized...)
So I don't know where to begin tracking down the source of the problem. I have placed a php info file temporarily so you can see the environment variables:
http://development.darylproduces.com/info.php
This indicates the GD version is within zenphoto's requirements ("bundled (2.0.28 compatible)") and mod_rewrite is enabled.
The gallery in its temporary development subdomain is here:
http://development.darylproduces.com/scrapbook/sb_photo/
Sure would be grateful for any pointers.
Steve
The only reason the larger images are showing up is that they're already small, so zenphoto doesn't need to process them... just uses the original.
Anyway, your problem is permissions of the cache directory. Make sure the /cache dir and everything in it is chmod 777.
