Hello
is the picture registered or just nothing new happens afterward? is it a fresh install and if yes from which method?

Firstly, my apologies. I realised quite late last night that I'm running Piwigo 2.8.1 not 2.8.0.

Not sure what you mean by 'registered'. The pic is captured, I hit Start Upload, it begins to upload then, at about 7% of the upload, switches to the screen I described, then the process just hangs there.

I installed Piwigo about a month or so ago using the auto install method. I have uploaded a number of pics without any problem until yesterday. I've just tried again with the same result. It starts to upload, then just seems to stop. I've tried changing browsers, without any change.

My options seem to be to uninstall Piwigo and start again, if that's possible. Or, to try with the FTP client method. I had a go with that yesterday and uploaded a number of pics without a problem. So, it definitely seems to be Piwigo or that version of it. I just have to get the hang of using it and setting up sub-galleries (folders).

Thanks.
Deborah

So the only thing that changed was the update to 281?
First re upload all files by ftp by overwriting them

Hi. Thanks. Yes. I installed 280 and then, after uploading files and setting up galleries, hit the upgrade button for 281. I'm pretty sure I uploaded files after that.

The instructions for using FTP are to create an album on the desktop then copy it to the Gallery directory in the FTP server. So, not sure files doing it that way can be overwritten because the files that are on the server already are in a different location and their directories have numeric titles not descriptive ones. But, I think I take your point, I think. Basically, use FTP. It's so early in this process, it won't be a problem to actually delete the files that are there and start again with FTP. It would be nice to know what the glitch is with the web form but so long as there's another option available, it's not a necessity.

Thanks, again.

I asked you to upload the Piwigo files not the pictures etc There is no need to switch to ftp method [Forum, topic 23208] READ ME: getting an error after the update?

Hi. Sorry. I don't understand what you mean by uploading the Piwigo files not the pics? Isn't a file a pic? I don't get an error message. I just get taken to a separate page where nothing happens. Looking at more recent posts in this forum, it seems that I'm not the only person to have experienced problems after uploading to 2.8.1. Is it at all possible to go back to 2.8.0?

Thanks.

Hi. I've had a look at your link, now (I had looked through the docs and couldn't see anything relevant and thought the link was one of the files I'd already looked at). Like one of the other people posting, I've only uploaded by clicking the Upload button in the Administration section. I've no idea where to find the Piwigo 2.8.1. files on the server or which ones to upload and overwrite.

Thanks, again.

Hi. OK. I've found the folder with the 2.8.0-2.8.1. files in the Upgrade thread and downloaded them. I think I can see where they need to go. However, partly because I'm having a lot of trouble with FileZilla and partly because I'm not at all confident uploading something like this via the cPanel File Manager, I'm really not sure how to resolve this problem other than, perhaps, uninstalling Piwigo and reinstalling it?

Thank you.
