Hi there,

I am using debian woody and have all the pre-requisits for coppermine (I think). I extracted the zip file to /var/www/gallery.

When I type in http://<mydomain>/gallery/ I get a link to install.php

I go in and fill all the details... click "Let's Go!". It stops by displayng the logo banner and does nothing else.

Please help me!

Thanks

I get a timeout both for http://sampath.homelinux.com/gallery/ and for http://sampath.homelinux.com/, so I guess there's something fishy with your server.

Sorry Gau Gau,

I had to reboot the machine to windows and forgot to switch it back to linux.

I will do that this afternoon (In may be couple of hours).

Thanks

I've been reading the forum but yet to solve the issue.

One diffrence I think is that I am on Mandrake 10.

I figured out that "extension=mysql.so" is commented in "/etc/php.ini".

When I uncomment it and restart the web server... Voila! It works...

I think it is better to have an error message or atleast a notification when the extension is unavailable.

Coppermine has as minimum requirement: a webserver with php, mySQL and either GD or ImageMagick. If your webserver doesn't fulfill the minimum requirements, there's little coppermine could do. There are so many pre-requisites that have to be fulklfilled, we can't create an install routine that checks every pre-requisite and prompts an exact error message. Additionally, it's part of the security concept of php that you can't access every resource and check if it's there or not. How would you code a routine that checks if mySQL is working? You would try to establish a mySQL connection - if it fails, either mySQL isn't running or you supplied the wrong credentials. What should the error message be in this case?
It is adviable that everyone who decides to run his own webserver makes sure his server is set up properly and running well before even thinking of actually publishing pages on the internet.
