Hello,
I installed Piwigo today, and uploaded a few photos using the web uploader, created an album and put the photos in two sub albums.
I am not able to have Piwigo sync any of the metadata from the exif in the JPGs. I can see the data I need using exiftool before I upload the photos, but none of it syncs. The creation date is blank, as are the latitude and longitude. I have selected Tools->Synchronize, selected "directories + files", "even already synchronized photos", deselected "Simulation" and selected "Search in sub-albums". The results always show that 0 photos are synchronized, and none of the metadata shows up in Piwigo.
I copied include/config_default.inc.php to include/config.inc.php, and I edited config.inc.php as follows:
--- config_default.inc.php 2016-07-07 22:06:22.000000000 -0700

=================================================
I'm not sure if there is something horribly borked in the installation (installed via Softaculous by my web host), or whether I have something misconfigured, or whether it is pure user error.
Are there any logs where I can find any errors?
Any advice is appreciated. If I don't figure this out in the next day or so, I'll try a manual installation of Piwigo.
Thanks,
Kevin

I had misread the instructions in include/config_default.inc.php. Thanks for pointing out my error.
I moved include/config.inc.php to local/config/config.inc.php. Unfortunately, that did not fix my problem. I still am unable to sync metadata.
I note that the top right of the Synchronize page has "Database Synchronization With Files: ./Galleries/ ?". But, I have a virtual album, so there are no files in ./Galleries/. I tried clicking on the "?" following "/Galleries/", but that produced an error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/khorton/public_html/piwigo/plugins/rv_gmaps/qsearch.inc.php on line 141". I'm not sure if that is relevant to the sync problem or not.

I blew away the piwigo installed automagically via Softaculous and did a manual installation. After reading the French language documentation, I decided to try SFTP to upload the images instead of the batch uploader that uses flash.
Now sync works. I still have some fiddling to do to extract all the metadata I want from IPTC and get it in the correct fields, but I found a few hints in the forum that may work. I'll post a new thread if I have problems extracting the metadata.
