PHPBB avatar gallery issue

[britfolkgod]

Hello,

Having trouble getting my avatar gallery to display. Here's what I HAVE done:

- did a CHMOD of the avatar folder to 777 (recommended by Matt earlier - did this and it hasn't helped)

- created the subfolders correctly - they do match the default in the admin panel.

It's winnipegearlymusic.com

Location is /home/kevinscott/mainwebsite_html/images/avatars/gallery (although in the configuration panel of the admin area the avatar gallery path is truncated at images/avatars/gallery).

It's PHPBB version 2.0.20.

Hope you can assist!

What error message is phpBB spitting out? I can change the permissions around recursively on avatars/ to apache-owned, but somehow I don't think that directory is the issue here.

Hi,

No error message at all. I ftp the avatar pictures to the gallery subdirectory which I appear to have correctly created - no problem - then when I go to the user profile area when logged in to the forum and click the "show gallery" button, there's nothing displaying.

According to the tutorial I followed, the category of avatar should display but you can't select anything - it's blank.

So when you said you read the manual, in reality you didn't. Avatar galleries reside underneath a directory in avatars/gallery/soandso/ -- http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=28

No, I did it correctly. In fact, I referenced the same set of instructions you sent above.

Configuration page says they should reside under images/avatars/gallery.

I didn't just stick the avatars in the "gallery" subdirectory. I created ANOTHER subdirectory for the avatars under "Gallery" (can't remember the name of it now since I can't FTP the server at the moment). I know that if I wanted a bunch of dog avatars, I'd have to put them in a "Dogs" gallery, etc.

I've been through all this already when it came to uploading different styles, which is done the same way - had no problem whatsoever with that.

It worked fine for me. Here:


[kernel gallery]# ls
index.htm test
[kernel gallery]# ls -la test/*
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 admin126 admin126 9318 Dec 12 18:29 test/phpbb.jpg

And if you check the gallery section the phpBB logo is there.

Bizarre. You were able to create a "test" directory and I can't seem to do the very same thing.

I can't FTP in there at the moment but I'll poke around some more when I can get connected and report back. Thanks.

The wonders of root. Anyway updated ACLs on the directory and you should be able to make them now.

[britfolkgod]

Problem solved.

Couldn't see your "test" directory anywhere, so I backed up a couple directories...

The whole structure didn't exist under the "Forum" directory (which I SWEAR I didn't see before...) so that's where I'll place it.

Thanks.
