Well not really solved. It worked but the drop down menu's for photos would drop down but wouldn't perform the function I was asking it to. In fact if I chose an option it would just revert back to the default option. Perhaps this is because I am using an older version of netpbm.

The solution seemed to be

download
netpbm1.1-gallery1.0-linux2.2-redhat6.2-intel.tgz
from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130

Upload the NetPBM dir/files via FTP client (in binary mode) and CHMOD the directory and all the files in that directory with the following permissions: 755.

The keys to the above are
1. "binary mode" FTP upload
2. 755 permissions on the binary (executable) files
3. perhaps using an older version of NetPBM

I am lost, here are my new errors...... please help.

the path seems so be right and I changed permissions to 755.... not sure why I am getting errors?

Are these the files I was supposed to download and the upload to directory

"netpbm-10.28.tgz"

from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5128&package_id=5165&release_id=333006

this is a huge upload... do I upload the whole thing?

Thanks,Warren

P.S Finally got the full path to my root folder... it only took three phone calls to my host provicer ugh!

okay put a new folder called "bin" in my root directory... then uploaded all the files in binary mode to "bin" and then changed permissions to 755 and I still get a message saying they don't exist... I can't figure out why.

Anybody see something I am missing?

Cheers, Warren

P.S Also, I changed the "Path to NetPBM" to "/bin"..
still no luck!

Hi thanks for your help.

I uploaded it to the same place as you suggested and changed permissions to 755 ..is that what you meant by marking the files as "executable"?

I did this and still receive the same error?

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks,Warren

Okay I uploaded and installed xoopsgallery and then uploaded netpbm in binary mode but the "Check NetPBM" feature says

okay so it doesn't exist... does that mean I uploaded netpbm to the wrong location? Just where is /usr/bin anyway? I can't see it via ftp and I do not have shell access.

I have read and read and read instructions on how to install netpbm but I need the instructions in very simple step by step instructions that don't assume I know what /usr/bin is and where to find it. I read that netpbm is easy to to install but I am very lost.

Thanks, Warren

thanks so very much...can't wait to add them to my site.

Cheers!

Thanks, now I need to know how to get a screenshot... I have no idea. Can somebody please tell me? Thanks!

I turned on the screenshots option in the Links module but I don't see the screenshots anywhere. Do I have to manually get the screenshots? Does it take a while for them to appear?

Any help would be most aprreciative.

Warren

P.S My site isn't live yet so you can't see my links.
