Hi, I'm a newbie on forum as well as MOB installation, please bear with my fool question.
I've set up a forum Snitz 3.4.05 and run well so far. I also tried to install the Photo Album v1.80, and followed the instruction at the README file, i.e. 1) Unzip all files and copied into forum folder ; 2) Inserted the script into default.asp as instructed ; 3) Inserted the script into admin_home.asp as instructed ; 4) uploaded the nconvert.exe into forum folder.
When I view the forum mainpage, the column "Photo Album" can be shown, however, an error page displays when I tried to go into.
At the meantime, "Photo Album Configuration" is also available on "admin option", another error page displays when I tried to go into.
I knew that there're a file "aspexec" need to install, but when I uploaded it and view it, another error page displays.
Would anybody gives me a helping hands...
Thanks in advance! |

ewong104,
Welcome to Snitz forum! I am pretty much newbie too, but I was able to install Photo Album successfully, so maybe I can help.
Is this the only mod you have put on or are there others as well?
If this is the ONLY MOD and you are putting it on, you do NOT have to do your #'s 2 & 3. In other words, the correct script is already in the Photo Album package and you just overwrite what is there.
You then go to your Photo Album configuration in the admin option and finish setting up.
Hope this helps, I chose Photo Album first because it appeared to be easiest. I'm trying to figure out the Events Calendar now. It involves many more changes and I keep coming up with errors.
I think Photo Album is a really great MOD!!!

Dear knitheaven, Thx for your reply. However, I've no luck that although followed your steps, i.e. Unzip all files and copied into forum folder, and uploaded the nconvert.exe into forum folder, it still doesn't work. I can see the "Photo Album Configuration" at the Admin option, and it is pointed at "admin_home.asp" but is an error page. This is the only MOD I install at my forum. Thx again.

ewong104,
I did NOT upload the Nconvert.ext into the forum folder either (sorry, I did not say this in my first reply). All I did was FTP all of the PhotoAlbum downloaded files (22 of them) into the forum folder on the server. I then went to Admin Options and completed the setup.
Good luck!

I uploaded all 22 files to the forum folder, and in fact I tried both, uploaded the Nconvert.exe or not, it did not work anyway. Do you think it is relate to the Access DB that I'm using?

Sorry to hear it is still not working correctly.

I have Access also, so I don't know if that's your problem or not.
My only other suggestion is to contact the creator of Photo Album? In the "readme" text he gives his email and website.
I hope you have success with this MOD as it seems very worthwhile.

What are the errors? We can't be of much help if we don't know what's wrong.

Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.” |

Switch off friendly HTTP error messages under the Advanced tab of your Internet Options to see the exact error messages.

Shaggy, Bingo! It shows Microsoft VBScript error '800a03ee' /myname/forum/inc_photo_album_function.asp, row 290 tmp = replace(tmp, "?, " ' ") After inserted " ' ", it works now I'm now busying on another error... After uploaded the picture, it shows "Error! File did not upload to system please contact the system administrator" It seems the directory uses to stroe the uploaded files not works properly, as "FOLDER DOESN'T EXIST ON FILE SYSTEM!" was shown on the "root file directory" column of Photo Album Admin.

And the directory does exist? If so, check the permissions on it to ensure you can upload to it.

I placed a folder "album" in my "db" directory, I think it has write permissions as my access.mdb is at the same directory. But it doesn't works!

Is your db directory in your root directory or above it? Is the script definitely pointing to the correct directory? You can double check the latter by using a response.write no the path it tries to upload to (unfamiliar as I am with this mod, I can't tell you exactly where to do so).

I'd say the problem lies, then, in the directory path specified in the script.
