Hi Norbert,

([Bugtracker] ticket 2335)

Have you tried to add photos directly via the Administration Console in your gallery?
He must know where the problem originates.

Hi norbusan/norbert,

1) to make sure ImageMagick is used on your Piwigo, open screen [Administration > Photos > Add > Configuration], do you have a section to manage high definition resize settings? If yes: you're using ImageMagick, if no: you're using GD.

By the way, the automatic rotation does not depend on ImageMagick. You can also have rotation with GD. It depends from other prerequisites.

2) can you give a link on a photo that is not rotated by Piwigo?

I've tested with your bicycle photo and rotation is perfect either with GD or Imagick (the ImageMagick binding for PHP).

My feeling is that you don't have the imagerotate function available. Please check it :

1) activate plugin LocalFiles Editor on screen [Administration > Plugins > Manage]
2) go to [Administration > Plugins > LocalFiles Editor], tab "Local config" and paste the following code:

if (function_exists('imagerotate'))
{
  file_put_contents('/tmp/piwigo.log', "OK : function imagerotate exists\n", FILE_APPEND);
}
else
{
  file_put_contents('/tmp/piwigo.log', "K0 : function imagerotate does not exist\n", FILE_APPEND);
}

3) Click on the "Save file" button
4) Go to Administration Home
5) open file /tmp/piwigo.log and tell us what's the message

If my feeling is correct, then maybe ImageMagick can save you :-) :

1) sudo apt-get install php5-imagick
2) sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
3) do the test once again (is there a "High Definition" section on [Administration > Photos > Add > Settings] ?)

I've been following along.  I found that ubuntu hardy and a few other versions have a bug with php5-imagick that results in the following error:
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/imagick.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20060613/imagick.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I fixed that.  I then uploaded a few photos with piwigo -> admin -> photos -> add.  They correctly autorotated.

When using digikam's built in upload -> piwigo they did not auto-rotate, even though they display correctly in digikam.  I tried adding via the localfiles editor:
$conf['upload_form_automatic_rotation'] = true;

That did not fix the problem with digikam uploads.

Does that effect programs that directly use <piwigo_home>/ws.php?  Is there a different variable I should set?

Does it look like it's a bug with Digikam?

Is it possible that the poster is uploading using more than one method and only one method is broken?

sbyke, please use another thread, your problem is a bit different and would like to mark this topic as resolved :-)
