I changed my $conf['upload_dir'] to '../../files/piwigo'. I'm able to upload pictures with the flash uploader to this directory. That works fine. My problem is now that piwigo is not displaying the pictures in my album. I get the error message the file does not exist. It would like to safe my pictures in the files directory outside the html directory to backup them seperately.

Error Log:
[Sat Feb 18 09:33:37 2012] [error] [client 87.174.99.117] File does not exist: /var/www/html/web123/html/files, referer: http://www.das-zweite-konglomerat.de/gallery/

My directory structure:
/files/piwigo_pictures
/html/gallery_installation

It works, thanks a lot.

A quick guide:
I created the symbolic link with php. You only need to copy a php file to your root directory and start it in your browser. The code is:

<?php
if (symlink('/var/www/html/web123/files/piwigo', '/var/www/html/web123/html/gallery/upload'))
{
  echo "Symbolic link was created";
}
else
{
  echo "Symbolic link was not created";
}
?>

It is possible that you need to change the chmod to 755.

The upload_dir stays like it is. You don't need to change it anymore.
$conf['upload_dir'] = './upload';

is there any to change the upload images path to diffrent folder or diffrent server ??

Hi there!

I'm confused. Can I use this symbolic link "trick" to integrate my existing Gallery2 folder-structure with pics into PWG?

As I've about 20k pics in the G2-structure (and on a particular partition due to its size), I'm not to keen about re-importing all the pics to the small galleries-folder in the PWG-install.

Any tips or tricks available to do this?

I did try the Menalto2PWG-plugin but got a wjole load of errors. If those are relevant I can post them as well.

Thanks.

yes

a symlink is a symlink, the origin of what your are linking has no impact

of course you will loose all your data, like if you made a fresh upload in Piwigo

Thanks, loosing the data is of no consequnce as this is a new PWG install (it's empty).

So, in short, if I create symlinks as above and then run the Menalto2Piwigo plug, I should be able to integrate the current folder structure as is into PWG.

Did I understand that correct?

Thanks.

and absolutely don't know about the migration
I answered for the symlink

if you don't care about the data then you don't need the migration plugin and you fall in the standard sync procedure http://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=user_ … ure#by_ftp

edit: I read the mini-guide of Menalto2Piwigo and it should work

Yupp, it did work most excellent.

Thank you very much for the assistance!

Now to customise the crap out of PWG. ;-)
