Newbie to this stuff, here is my setup details:

IIS
PHP 5.2.4
MySQL 4.1.22
Etomite 0.6.1 Final PL4 Prelude

I install the auth_vistor on a page with the EtoGal and everything works. I can login, Manage Pictures and even upload them to the folder. I can see the pictures in the folder with the thumbs, but there are no entries to the etomite_etogal db. Even when I add the EtoGalGallery snip I get a placeholder thumb. I've been reading a lot of these forms but I can't find if its an API issue or a mySQL issue. A little direction would be greatly appreciated...HELP!

Please explain exactly what you can do, step by step, with etogal and say what is visible on the screen.

where do you 'see the pictures in the folder with the thumbs'
how are you checking for data in the table (not a separate database, just a table in the etomite database).

have you checked all the etomite configuration settings? Its not unusual for some to be set wrong if you are using IIS

The snippet code for the page(63) is:

etogal
[[EtoGal?display=none]]

[[EtoGalGallery]]

login/out
[[authenticate_visitor?id=63&use_captcha=0]]

EtoGal Check
[[EtoGalCheck]]



I get this:


I log in and get this screen:




Go to Manage Pictures and get this:




Upload a picture and get this:





I can see the image file in the assets/galleries/63 folder. I'm using DBA Central to veiw the etomite_etogal table and there is no data in any of the fields.

I hope this helps.

well, almost immediately after the creation of the files, a call is made to the etomite dbQuery function to write the data to the database. The dbQuery function doesn't seem to return any diagnostics so there's not much I can do unless Ralph has some suggestions. (This part of the code has survived unchanged for well over a year, without problems that I'm aware of!)
The only thing I can think of is possibly some strange characters in the filename. Is the filename restricted to purely A-Za-z0-9 and underscore characters (and no accents etc on the characters)?

edit: IIS is not in common use with etomite, and I don't know whether your version of PHP is either, but i don't see why either should cause this problem.

Several possibilities why the images aren't working come to mind...

Have you checked your phpinfo to make sure uploads are enabled...??? I don't think you will receive an error if they are disabled...

Does the version of PHP, as installed on IIS, include a graphics library such as GD2 for doing any processing that may be required...??? Depending on server configuration, again, you may not receive any errors if one is not present...

As Mike pointed out, filenames could be the culprit, but I would assume that you have eliminated that possibility before posting here...

Are you running in localhost mode or is this a true domain...??? The use of localhost on IIS is a known issue with many PHP applications...

Is there a possibility that you could either PM me login details or provide a URL to a script with phpinfo() in it so I can see the server configuration...??? I might be able to save a lot of guessing by looking at the server settings and available resources...

[Fixed] I figured it out. Thanks for all your help

[mikef]

could you summarise the cause and solution please, fo the benefi of anyone else with the similar problems, or, if relevant, so I can add some protective code?

thanks,
mike
