(Doh! feel a bit dumb now :) ) Why I didn't see that before now!?!</p> <p>I know it set the 777 when I was trying to get the setup to run. I was rather confused last night when I was "hacking" away.</p> <p>Thanks a lot, now time to upload and test zenphoto out, it does look good and fast already. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=46519#post-107279 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:08:52 +0000 sbillard 107279@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>The first bit of information you should know is that the "A file permissions error has occurred" message does not come from Zenphoto.</p> <p>So, the possible causes would be:</p> <p>1. security settings on the server that do not allow PHP scripts to run with whatever file/folder permissions you have on the "zen" folder or its contents and subfolders.</p> <p>2. a rewrite rule conflict with your Wordpress install n(or some other .htaccess file) that is preventing access to the "zen" folder. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=46519#post-107271 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:51:10 +0000 woollypigs 107271@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Server is with <a href="http://www.e-noise.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.e-noise.com</a>.</p> <p>No big warnings from my server log. </p> <p>[07/Mar/2013:16:59:25 +0000] "GET /zen/ HTTP/1.1" 200 123 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/24.0.1312.56 Chrome/24.0.1312.56 Safari/537.17"</p> <p>Apache/2<br /> Software version: 5.5.30-log - MySQL Community Server (GPL)<br /> Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 321634 $<br /> PHP extension: mysqli </p> <p>I have managed to upload, create folders, add tags and add descriptions to photos just fine today.

I somehow mistook that the non rewritten links and their GET values are used internally and the rewritten ones are just "cosmetic" for display.</p> <p>So forget me thinking loud. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98477 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 11:15:26 +0000 sbillard 98477@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>And just how would they have issues? Will they decide not to request the link if it is an image? Will they somehow bypass the server and directly get the image out of the either?</p> <p>I think not, I think that they all will make a request of the server which will process it via the rewrite rules as needed.</p> <p>And if they leave the suffix out, what file should Zenphoto look for? </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98470 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:33:11 +0000 acrylian 98470@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I do admit I am not familiar how ZP uses the url internally but the original not rewritten one is:<br /> <code>index.php?album=albumname&amp;image=filename.jpg</code><br /> which is rewritten to<br /> <code>/albumname/filename.jpg.php</code>. </p> <p>So what would change if we leave one suffix out always like <code>/albumname/filename.php</code> and album links stay <code>/album/</code> since they are "directories"?</p> <p>If we use <code>/albumname/filename.jpg</code> some browser/server might have issues as this is not really an image itself.</p> <p>Besides I had never any issus with the two suffixes. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98464 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:16:18 +0000 sbillard 98464@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Perhaps your code is more omniscient. Mine would have no idea what the suffix should be if it is not included. And of course, since the images are in the <code>albums</code> folder, not elsewehere how would mod_rewrite get confused? </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98424 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:39:08 +0000 acrylian 98424@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>But couldn't no default modrewrite suffix cause other issues like browser mistaking the link as an direct image?.</p> <p>Do we actually need the image suffix in the url additionally? Why not just &lt;filename minus suffix&gt;.&lt;modrewrite suffix&gt;? It's rewritten anyway. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98260 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 10:59:02 +0000 sbillard 98260@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Probably the best would be not to set a default at all. We really do not know that these security rules would pass anything that looked like multiple suffixes. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98210 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:10:42 +0000 acrylian 98210@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>That suffix is actually not a rewrite rule. It is an option you can set yourself. It is actually that way since the early days of Zenphoto. I neither don't remember that much reports about that nor did I ever encounter this issue on any of the hosts I used. Of course we don't get reports we cannot change things...</p> <p>Feel free to open a ticket about that maybe to discuss this further. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-98208 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:35:07 +0000 blueboat 98208@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Core team,</p> <p>Food for thought:</p> <p>Would it make sense to set the default rewrite rule to .html instead of .php?</p> <p>I can imagine there are more than a few hosts out there that block .jpg.php extensions for security reasons, and this took a lot of hours to trace. Most new users would probably just give up and use something else. Actually, PHP sites are often hacked using this file extension to upload rogue php code to servers that think they are images. I've seen it happen a couple of times already on CMSes that run TinyMCE, for example. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-97439 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 01:13:07 +0000 blueboat 97439@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Debugging didn't return any error.</p> <p>Daviding, you hit the nail on the head! It's an issue with .jpg.php rewrite suffix. Funny that it works in root though...</p> <p>I have this open with my host....</p> <p>Maybe this would be a good thing to test in the setup checks?(although it doesn't help if your host sneaks in a mod_security rule change after you're up and running.)</p> <p>Thanks all for the comments and suggestions! </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-97024 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:41:54 +0000 daviding 97024@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I sent a note to my hosting provider support (Site5). This problem is not with Zenphoto, but with the environment. They responded:</p> <p>-- begin paste --<br /> We apologize for this situation. I checked Apache logs and I found that because of mod_security, that type of link .jpg.php was blocked by a mod_security rule. </p> <p>I went ahead and I fixed this and now you should be able to load your website without any issue or error.<br /> -- end paste -- </p> <p>Problem solved. If you have this problem, ask your hosting provider support. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96955 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:55:03 +0000 sbillard 96955@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>You can set the <code>DEBUG_IMAGE_ERR</code> define to <code>true</code> in <code>global-definitions.php</code> to get any Zenphoto debugging information recorded in your debug log. If something is recorded then it may help discover what is causing this. If not, then the 403 error is not comming from Zenphoto. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96952 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:32:54 +0000 daviding 96952@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I seem to be having the same problem, that access to the albums is fine, but selecting on the thumbnail gives a message like:</p> <p>-- begin paste -- </p> <p>You don't have permission to access /webphotos/201211a-McMichael/di_20121106_142734_mcmichael_billvazan_1989_shibagaushard.jpg.php on this server.</p> <p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.<br /> -- end paste -- </p> <p>I don't recall having that problem before. I was running on v.1.4.3.2 , and just upgraded to v.1.4.4 with the same result. When I ran the setup, it didn't like the way htaccess was configured, so it updated that.</p> <p>Strangely enough, slides shows seem to work fine. Go to <a href="http://daviding.com/webphotos/201211a-McMichael" rel="nofollow">http://daviding.com/webphotos/201211a-McMichael</a> , and "View Slideshow", and that works. </p> <p>It's just getting from the thumbnail to image that seems to be a problem.</p> <p>My versions read:</p> <p>PHP version: 5.2.17<br /> Graphics support: PHP GD library bundled (2.0.34 compatible)<br /> supporting: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp<br /> PHP memory limit: 96M (Note: Your server might allocate less!)<br /> MySQL version: 5.1.65</p> <p>I seem to recall also having the PHP display_errors warning on setup. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96945 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:44:47 +0000 blueboat 96945@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Thanks again for the suggestions.</p> <p>Here is what I have found doing completely fresh installs and uploading 1 image in an album called "album".</p> <p>1) On my host (rochen.com) zenphoto 1.4.4 works fine in the root using mod rewrite. ex: <a href="http://test2.exploringbliss.com/album/_MG_0930-1024.jpg.php" rel="nofollow">http://test2.exploringbliss.com/album/_MG_0930-1024.jpg.php</a></p> <p>2) However, on my host (rochen.com) zenphoto 1.4.4 doesn't work with mod rewrite when the installation is contained in a subdirectory (it is fine without mod rewrite). ex: <a href="http://test.exploringbliss.com/test/album/_MG_0930-1024.jpg.php" rel="nofollow">http://test.exploringbliss.com/test/album/_MG_0930-1024.jpg.php</a></p> <p>3) on a local MAMP install everything is fine, both root and subdirectory installs work.</p> <p>But I have no clue as to why this may be. It has been working fine on the host since 2007 until sometime recently. The only variable I know that has changed is a zenphoto upgrade. Perhaps my host has upgraded something at their end, but what and when I do not know.</p> <p>My host's PHP version is 5.3.20 and MySQL version is 5.1.66 (warnings in the install). The other warning I get is because PHP display_errors [is enabled].</p> <p>So do I have to downgrade zenphoto?</p> <p>Thanks guys for everything so far. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96937 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:45:39 +0000 sbillard 96937@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Somewhere on this forum there was a discussion of a user having problems with some security module that did not like the extension <code>.jpg.php</code>. (Sorry, I cannot find the post at the moment.) So maybe changing the <code>mod_rewrite suffix</code> to maybe "\view" will fix the issue. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96917 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:15:53 +0000 acrylian 96917@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Zenphoto works fine both in the root of domains or subdomains and also subfolders actually.</p> <p>If you move Zenphoto from and to folders and use modrewrite you always need to either run setup or change the rewritebase of the htaccess file. Otherwise it of course will not work.</p> <p>On a domain/subdomain root that would be /. On a folder /&lt;folder&gt;. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=36756#post-96916 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:10:09 +0000 blueboat 96916@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>hi guys, thanks for the input.</p> <p>Getting closer now:</p> <p>* when I delete the wordpress installation so that there is nothing in the root folder except /photography , I get the error below. And when I put wordpress back, the .htaccess catches it and redirects to the wordpress 404 page.</p> <p>----------------------<br /> Forbidden</p> <p>You don't have permission to access /photography/new_zealand/20081223-NewZealand-9779.jpg.php on this server.</p> <p>Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.<br /> ----------------------</p> <p>* Now here is the interesting bit: I moved my test zenphoto installation that was working fine in a subdomain from the root to /test and the SAME ERROR OCCURED! Then to double-check, I installed a completely fresh installation in a test subdomain in a subdirectory ( /test ) and i get the SAME error.</p> <p>In other words, the current version of zenphoto doesn't seem to work out-of-the-box in a subdirectory! The setup works fine in root though.</p> <p>Thanks for the support,<br /> Fraser </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=37213#post-96685 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 05:00:08 +0000 darkufo 96685@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I've currently got the following in my .htaccess of my zenphoto cache folder.</p> <p>RewriteEngine on<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?spoilertv.com [NC]<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?fanshowcase.com [NC]<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?spoilertv.co.uk [NC]<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?images.spoilertv.co.uk [NC]<br /> RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ <a href="http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/bandwidth.png" rel="nofollow">http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/bandwidth.png</a> [NC,R,L]</p> <p>This blocks all not allowed domained from hotlinking our cache files.</p> <p>However, what I would like to do is to allow sites to be able to hotlinked our thumbnails.

You should try removing the Wordpress <code>.htaccess</code> and see if things work.

Love it! Especially the slick integration from Lightroom!</p> <p>The only thing is that for some reason (probably after an update a few months back that I didn't test, i think) whenever one clicks from the album page to an image there a 404 that is being caught by my wordpress site. Wordpress is in the root and zenphoto is under it in /photography</p> <p>any suggestions as to what the deal may be? I've looked extensively though the user guide, trouble shooting, searched this forum, permissions ok, not using php safe mode, upgraded zenphoto 1.4.4, reinstalled zenphoto, created a fresh zenphoto install.... but no luck yet.</p> <p>I also copied the database tables into a new database and did a fresh install in a subdomain and it was fine. Must just be a conflict because as it is under wordpress (which it has been for years now).</p> <p>The wordpress /.htaccess file looks like this:</p> <p># BEGIN WordPress<br /> &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;<br /> RewriteEngine On<br /> RewriteBase /<br /> RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> RewriteRule . /index.php [L]<br /> &lt;/IfModule&gt;</p> <p># END WordPress</p> <p># no directory listing<br /> IndexIgnore *<br /> Options -Indexes </p> <p>and the zenphoto /photography/.htaccess is standard with the setup (with RewriteBase /photography of course).</p> <p>FYI, I am using the default theme (had a beautiful custom theme that matched my site, but it broke with an upgrade a year ago and haven't had a chance to fix it yet, been traveling round the world for 5 years in places with crappy internet...)</p> <p>See the problem here:<br /> <a href="http://www.exploringbliss.com/photography/" rel="nofollow">http://www.exploringbliss.com/photography/</a></p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Many thanks! </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=21505#post-79592 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 01:31:16 +0000 acrylian 79592@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>The rewrite base is important. Just re-run the setup script to fix that for you.<br /> But you have to decided how you wish to access your Zenphoto install. </p> <p>If it is 199.16.152.234/~pixmixca/photos/ the rewrite base must be /~pixmixca/photos/<br /> If it is <a href="http://www.domain.com/photos" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/photos</a> is is /photos<br /> If it is directly under a domain <a href="http://www.domain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com</a> the rewrite base is just /. No matter if the actual folder is named /photos and the domain just links to it. The webpath via the browser is important. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=21505#post-79485 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 19:00:19 +0000 pvankempen 79485@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I am a exe developer, not a web developer, so am not used to working with htaccess files.</p> <p>For about 2 months, during our spare time, my wife and I were developing her site (she was adding the pictures and text, I was tweaking the php). During that time, the main htaccess file (at same sub-directory level as zp_data and themes) contained "RewriteBase /~pixmixca/photos" and we accessed all the pages as admin from 199.16.152.234/~pixmixca/photos/.</p> <p>When we went live a week ago, the pages were not working and so our ISP host changed the line in the htaccess file to: "RewriteBase /photos".</p> <p>Now, when we (or the public) connect, all the pages work. But, of course, neither the unpublished items nor the admin menu show. We can still access <a href="http://199.16.152.234/~pixmixca/photos/" rel="nofollow">http://199.16.152.234/~pixmixca/photos/</a>, but whenever we click anywhere from there (to an album, page, etc), we get a 404 error - for example: "404 Not Found The server can not find the requested page: 199.16.152.234/~pixmixca/photos/page/contact (port 80)".</p> <p>We would like to view various pages and images without incrementing the hit counters. And we would like to try creating a dynamic album. For both, we need to be able to view the site as admin.</p> <p>I'm sure a simple change to the htaccess file is all that is needed, but I could not figure what, even after reading everything I could find related to htaccess in the user guide and the forum.</p> <p>Any hints at pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. </p>
