We cannot support installations made with fantastico. It messes with all sorts of things and as you can see, it is way behind. In fact, the host are leaving themselves open to hackers because they are so far behind. You will also find that if you install using the built in installer instead of the buggy fantastico you would be unlikely to have had the imagemagik problem in the first place.
Upgrading is simple and will protect your site from the hackers out to destroy your work. As it is, I could gain full access to your site very quickly.
Sorry I didn't read your post fully. I was under the impression you needed help.
Woah boy..... What are you? 21 and straight from Uni?
At what point did I say I needed help?
I was meerly pointing out where I, as a newbie, lost lots of time trying to fix something that was, IMHO, documentable (is that actually a word?).
"We cannot support installations made with fantastico."...... Why not include that in the docs? Then I could make some informed decisions instead of working in the dark and I would not have bothered you VIPs with such a mundane thing.
"....it is way behind"...... Normally, 0.04 behind would not be referred to as "way". If this version is so "way behind" and "hackable", what about the current version when we get to 1.4.28? Is this going to be so bad then?
To be honest, you're not really presenting such a good argument for your software here. I changed from gallery some 3 years ago on recommedation from a friend and was happy with Coppermine until I messed up a bit 2 years ago doing some updates, but didn't worry about it until just recently. I then tried to fix the issue and commented here on what I found. Shame on me.....
And YES, Shame on you. As a moderator, you should read the posts fully before replying. You just wanted to have a pop at a newbie because I didn't fully grasp all the facts quickly enough. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WITH NEWBIES. It's why we are newbies. But I did EVERYTHING your docs said. It just didn't give me the answers and I didn't realise I had to leave those things set when I reported the issue.
But congratulations on making me feel small, even though I read all your docs for 4 hours but still didn't manage to understand it all. Most, but not all.
Just read my first post again. Was it in any way agressive or abusive? If so, my unreserved appologies. I thought I was just informing the facts as I found them.
I like Coppermine. It shows my pictures in a nice way. I had some problems getting it going and I reported them as best I could. Sorry if I in any way upset you with my ignorance. I actually studied your docs and tried to follow them for quite a time before posting. If you feel hacking my vunerable site would somehow better your life, help youself. I'm a newbie so can't really protect myself anyway. My wife has MS and I found out 2 weeks my Dad has cancer. I'm 50 years old and taught myself a bit of html so I could design my own site. I try now to run a stress free life and moved my family to Spain to help achieve that. It seemed to be working but I do still rise to the bait now and then. Can't help it. Just happens. On the plus side, my wife has been so much better since we moved here.
Oh, and if you didn't already gather it already, you,, Mr Luckhurst are a young, imature..........
PS. This is ONLY directed at Mt Luckhurst. Appologies to any other moderators as I'm sure I don't mean to offend.
PPS. I have removed the "test" user as obviously, Mr Luckhust's threats have hit a cord. Again, appologies to any genuine moderators.
Finally, to i-imagine. I understand that this is an older version and will now consider upgrading over and above what my server provider offers. Didn't realise when I first did it that there would be newer software that they did not promote. Fair enough.
Secondly, I am obviously trying to learn to support myself from the work done to date but one has to start somewhere. Assistance and encouragement rather than Mr Dickhurst's slaging go a lot further. IMHO.
