> In cpg1.5.x the silly feature URI upload from cpg1.4.x was dropped. This means: you never upload by URL in cpg1.5.x. You always upload by file, i.e. from your client's drives to the webserver.
Do you need step-by-step? Are we referring to different things?
Here the step-by-step process for Win 7 64-bit. My CPG host is a Win2003 machine, so it's IIS:
1. Click "Upload file".
2. Under the "Album" drop-down that says "Select Album", select an album.
3. Click the "Browse" button.
4. You get a standard "Select file(s) to upload" dialog. Under "File name", type in a URL (say,
http://coppermine-gallery.net/images/coppermine-logo.png).
5. Click the "Open" button.
6. Wait 30 seconds. The file will load and be shown under "1 files uploaded:"
Viola. File uploaded from URL.
I think that the "
http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upload_troubleshooting.htm#upload_support" link is great and wonderful, but it asks me to go ahead and use the "simple file upload". I'm not having any issues with that, so that step is moot. I also don't particularly care if user accounts do have access to do anything: my CPG was never really much more than a browseable gallery that people can add comments to, so those steps are moot. And I had read that section when I installed 1.5.3, thus my post.
Finally, I asked a yes/no question: "Is it normal for the Flash uploader to take that long?" If yes, then I don't have an issue. If no, I'd be more than willing to provide more details for you to improve your product.
