Problems getting started

Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I just installed Pimwigo on my hosting site. I had previously used Gallery with another web hosting company and was used to merely having to type:

http://amyalan.com/gallery
to view the albums and photos.

When I moved to the new hosting service, I did a straight FTP of all my photos and they are now in a directory structure. The admin page shows the number of pictures and folders (albums), but only some of the thumbprints appear. Plus, I have no idea how to tell my friends what to do to see the pictures - if I type
http://amyalan.com/piwigo
I just see the directory listing.

Please send me or point me to instructions on using Piwigo on my new host. If you need additional info from me please let me know.

Thanks,
Alan R.

Re: Problems getting started

Somewhat strange for Linux system, but easily addressable - using urls below I do see your entire server file structure instead of original Gallery 2 or Piwigo.
This is due to the fact that web server does not know to look for index.php

Easy to solve:
* create .htaccess in site's root and add "DirectoryIndex index.php" into it

With that addressed or by adding index.php to PWG url above I was able to see many photos.
Some thumbs did not generate properly from the first run
Could be ImageMagic issue, image content itself or some other issue.
This would be next step to look at

Re: Problems getting started

Hello Serge,

I added the .htaccess file as instructed and I'm getting the album thumbnails. Many thanks for this.
Could you (or anyone else) point me to how to resolve the thumbnails issue? (What is "ImageMagic?)

Thanks again,
Alan R.

Re: Problems getting started

one of the sample lists - http://amyalan.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/8

but I think server may be underpowered as I am intermittently getting 500 error

Re: Problems getting started

Hello Serge,

From your comments and from what I see, piwigo is not looking too good for me.

On occasion I can click on the blank thumbnails and get the full-sized picture, but response is very slow.
And many thumbnails are not loading. This should not be a problem because these are pretty standard JPEG pictures of about 1 MB size.

Finally, I was noticing that my disk space usage increased dramatically. I see the culprit - CORE files in the Piwigo root directory on my website. See attached graphic. I removed many of them, but they are increasing quickly. If I cannot get this resolved I'll have to remove Piwigo. It's too bad because the product in many respects looks excellent. I just need to get rid of the bugs,

Thanks,
Alan
P.S. I removed my Gallery2 files to clean up as well, so my disk space is about 2GB now (it was as high as 9)

Re: Problems getting started

Looks like my upload from the last message did not work. My screen print that shows the CORE files can be seen here:

I have no idea what those CORE files are. Never seen them before
PWG similar to G2 does create derivatives but they should reside in _data folder
there is something else at play here.
You may need to take closer look at your hosting environment and its configuration as something may be misaligned there on system level

Re: Problems getting started

.core files are memory dumps when PHP process crashes
I am talking about real process crash here, like segfaults in the interpreter, no "common" fatal errors

I think your host could help you indentifying the source
