Our main Coppermine gallery is at
www.bark.ch I upload the "larger" images via FTP, and then batch add them into the gallery. They have been keyworded, captioned, etc., before they are uploaded, and this has worked very well for us.
About two weeks ago we started to encounter problems, where the mid-size image would not always show up. I posted a thread here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,51733.0.htmlI also updated from 1.4.12 to 1.4.16 to see if that would fix the problem, but it didn't.
Nibbler kindly told me to shut off the EXIF data --- this is apparently a known problem. I shut it off, and everything worked fine.
And then, although I was at 1.4.16, I was hacked. Updated to 1.4.17 and got the folks who manage our server to remove all the offending frames. And then hacked again. Updated to 1.4.18 and got the folks who manage our server to remove all the frames again, and we seem to be OK on that front.
But we are back to having the intermediate images not always show up. And now many of the larger images don't show up as well. They are there, but Coppermine seems to time out in trying to find them.
If you look, for example, at this image:
http://www.bark.ch/displayimage.php?album=33&pos=7145You are actually looking at the mid-size image, created by (presumably) ImageMagik when I uploaded the larger image --- and then added the larger image to Coppermine as part of a batch.
If you double-click on the image (above) you can't see the larger image --- you get, instead, an error message. In Safari the error message says, "Safari can’t open the page “
http://www.bark.ch/displayimage.php?pid=14503&fullsize=1”. The error was: “unknown error” (CFURLErrorDomain:302)." I have also tried this in Firefox and IE7, with the same results.
But yet the larger image is there ---
http://www.bark.ch/albums/Apr_04_08-Web/Z2Q9W2045.jpgWhen I click on the random images, some are there, and some aren't. For example, I clicked on a random image and it took me to this page --- but the page was blank:
http://www.bark.ch/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=0&pos=-7269In another thread where someone else seemed to be having a similar problem, Nibbler suggested turning off the album keywords. But I can't seem to find how to turn them on, or off. There are no keywords shown in my album properties.
I have clickable keywords shut off because we have more (much more) than 100 keywords. When I click on "Manage Keywords" (in config) nothing seems to happen --- tries to open
www.bark.ch/keywordmgr.php but just sticks.
Are the keywords the issue? Do we somehow have "too many?"
Our Coppermine gallery isn't small, but it's certainly not huge (13,592 files).
I
really appreciate all of the hard work that y'all do on this forum, and know that it is a labour of love. And I really like Coppermine software --- we have (besides
www.bark.ch) six other CPG installations on the same dedicated server. The others are operating fine, but are much smaller than
www.bark.chBut the two hacks, and the earlier know problem with the EXIF information, and now the problem with the mid-size and larger images not reliably showing up is starting to wear me down. (I know, I know --- I should be made of stronger stuff.)
Any help with the problem d'jour would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
