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

I usually upload the folder netpbm to the root of my site.

You need to mark each file as "executable" on your server.

Another problem I had was "pnmtojpeg: No such file or directory" when I would upload images.

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 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!

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!

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?

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

Solved? If so, glad it all worked out for you. It is kind of a pain to setup.

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.
