Intended use of URL field?

[rsend]

Hi,
I just installed this gallery on my home server. What is the intended use for the URL field, if, for example, I want to test this on the LAN only?

Thanks

Hi,

it depends on your network and server configuration. You should use the local Domain or IP (with http:// or https://) of you homeserver an the path and/or the port where novaGallery is running. Use in the config just the url, where you reach novagallery.

Some examples:

• http://192.168.1.3
• http://192.168.2.8:8080
• http://192.168.3.10:8080/novagallery
• http://mynetwork.local/gallery

[rsend]

Ok, got it. That part seems to work - but now I get this error:

`Deprecated: substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /jffs/www/nova-base/core/Site.php on line 23

Deprecated: rtrim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /jffs/www/nova-base/core/Router.php on line 47

Any ideas what that is related to?

EDIT: In the php manual, I do see this: "Note: The GLOB_BRACE flag is not available on some non GNU systems, like Solaris or Alpine Linux. " I'm running on an embedded router (dd-wrt). Could that be the problem?

This is sad, this might be the problem... It needs a fix, to check if GLOB_BRACE is available and if not, every filetype has to be searched separately... I will try that it is added soon.

I've inquired with the dd-wrt maintainers to see if it is my mistake in installing something or not, I'll update once I get an answer. But in the meantime, if it really is not available, how difficult WOULD it be to make the changes you mentioned?

[david-novafacile]

It should be quite simple. It's the same solution like in Open Cart project (opencart/opencart@fd2e4b8) --> first commit change with image files.

The method protected function getImages($dir) on line 52 in nova-base/lib/novaGallery.php must be extended with something like this.

[rsend]

Done it, that improved things.

However, something must be wrong with my setup. I now get broken thumbnails, and clicking on an item gets a 404 error.

The paths for the latter look like: [URL]//NovaGallery/galleries//cache/2000/sn853983.jpg - but that folder does not exist. If I modify the URL to remove /cache/2000, then the image loads correctly.

My server is running lighttpd, by the way. I've set the lighttpd config root folder to the /NovaGallery subdirectory, and mod_rewrite is enabled. It is possible my GD module is not working correctly, I'm investigating that separately - but that should only affect the Thumbnails, not the cache, right?

[david-novafacile]

It looks like missing write rights for the webserver in galleries folder.

[rsend]

Hmm, as far as I know write permission works fine. I tested this by deleting the "files.php" inside the cache folder, and when I touch the content of the gallery and reload, that file is regenerated with the correct list of new filenames inside (i.e write to the directory works) - except there are no thumbnails or other files in the folder.

Is there a way to check what is throwing an error? Loading the Gallery just gives a 404 (as before) - but not WHY...

[david-novafacile]

Okay, if files.php is created, than writing rights are correct. Which kind of 404 error ist shown? It's an error by the server or by novaGallery?

In most cases a 404 error is caused by missing mod rewrite or wrong rewrite rules.

[rsend]

Well, it looks like this. I'm guessing it's because that cache file doesn't exist. Also I noticed the double / after the "galleries", is that correct or do I have a typo in some config?
