UPDATE ---------------------

Ok, after some rest I started looking at the reasons why it wasnt working ,, well it was just as simple as a / being at the begining a location, after fixing this it now works just fine..... I cant for the life of me understand why I didnt see that the first time. anyhow I appreciate all the help everyone gave me...

Ok ,, I uninstalled the xcgallery thinking I did something wrong. After setting it back up I get the same error. I tried leave the line blank where the NETPBM is , and I get the same result. so is it safe to say its not with netpbm. if I use GD 1 it cant set true color, and errors out as well, displaying a ? box for a picture.
I know the albums and thumbs are correct they give you errors telling you that they couldnt write to the directory....

to no avail, I have added the netpbm to CGI and gave the permisions that they needed. still doesnt post the images nor does it do the thumbnails, GD1 doesnt work right either and gd2 isnt not installed... here is the error for xcGallery:

Please advise if I am not seeing what I should in this error..... maybe it needs a new set of eyes...

Ok here it goes, I have been having MAJOR ttroubles setting up the realy nifty modules like Relations, MyGallery, Gallery, XcGallery. Nothing but errors, I dont know what to think of this, I have been trying to get this going, but to no end, its not been so pleasant. Am I alone in this I see everyone using XcGallery which I want to use realy, the relations module realy didnt do anything except give me a headache. I am not an newbie when it comes to web building , but I am not a super user either.... Stewdio helped alot with other things, and got alot accomplished, but I still can't get any further.

Xc Gallery Failes to resize thumbnails, can not save them, even though the permissions are set...

MyGallery , same thing

Gallery is HOPELESS, I like it but with the PHPsafemode_On its usless....

Stew,,, Thanks for all your help, you have been a tremendios part in how far I have come. right now I am having problems just with the actual image resizing, colors, and stuff, it's actualy just posting a blank image, and then errors out when it comes to this. I am sure we will work this out, I have Netpbm in the HTML directory, but as to yet to get it to work I can not. do I need to put this someplace else like in a CGI, or down on root level....

as far as the links mentioned above, I would like to have seperate pages, that are not filled with forums, like I would like a About us page, a page with a seperate forum and information page for the Photography club. a seperate page for each photographer with links to his album in the gallery.

I have a website called www.ozarkworld.com and I am hoping to list a few photographers there with galleries and pages for the photographer. I would like to be able as well set up a site with forums for our photography club seperate from our forums on the main site. I see how on the side bar here that some links lead to other information links on the side bar over there <---- like features list. and overview go to other pages, I am a real NEWBIE at this , so please forgive me if this is such an easy task for most. as for me I am just use to the WYSIWYG building that I dont know much else. any help in that area would be helpfull ... on to the next question I get an error when I try to upload images to the website via XCgalery.... Like

Warning : getimagesize: Unable to open '/home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/modules/xcgal/albums/userpics/dwtemp_bm.jpg' for reading. in /home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/modules/xcgal/db_input.php on line 162

Then I get this message below that one

The file you have uploaded is not a valid image !

This has been a very daunting task installing the XCGALLERY, that its almost not worth it. but I realy am anxious to get it installedI feel that its the BEST for what I need, without looking so much like a stock art image gallery.... Please help if you can....

For some reason I can not remove the Safemode from the PHP from my server, although I have permissons to veiw the set up and do all the MySQL database admin. but cant change the INI file for I can not find it. I am a photographer and I have a website that I wish to set up for me and another photographer I would like to be able to set up a photo gallery this gallery needs to have more than one area for photographer, and then sub albums for their work. I would like to make it where they can upload to their own directory from their PC/MAC. I have tried with extreme failure with XoopsGallery and XCgallery. I would like this to be be a joint effort with the other photographers, so here is the challenge how do I get a gallery that will work, or better yet can I find my INI File for PHP and shut off Safe Mode
