Topic: [Announce] Gallery2 for SME7.x

[berdie]

to the community,
for the ease of installation a rpm package of Gallery2 for the SME Server 7.x is available at http://wiki.contribs.org/Gallery2.
This package installs the gallery 2 photo and video gallery system into /opt.
You can start it with your browser with the URL http://MYSERVER/gallery2.

Rgds.,
Dietmar

I'm going to try this rpm. There was already a package with .sh scripts to install gallery, but I did not like it. Curious for this one

Tested it and works great. Thanx Berdie!

Tested flawless install and runs perfectly txs for the contrib!

I tested this and it works beautifully.

Thank you for packaging it all and creating a very simple utility.

There is one issue, however, and it pertains to the security of the g2data directory. The devs at Gallery are very clear the g2data directory should be in other then the document root for security reasons.

Have you considered this issue? Perhaps you could change the package to install the g2data directory somewhere else on the server?

thanks

Thanks for your comments.

This should not be an issue. The g2data directory is not in the tree, it has in fact his own document root and this is not within the /opt/gallery2/html directory.

Additionally to this the template has the line

php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/gallery2/html/:/opt/gallery2/g2data/

for security reasons.

Well devised, berdie.

Thank you for the reply.

Might I ask where two specific modules install? Using the Gallery GUI, I cannot locate the paths to dcraw or ffmpeg. I have installed them, and when attempting to configure they cannot be found.

Imagemagick installs into /usr/bin. But not these other two.

Any pointers?

thank you.

regards,

patrick

You can download the necessary files from

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dberteld/gallery2/rpms

to a tmp install directory. Fore installation type

yum localinstall *.rpm

from this directory.
I've successful tested ffmeg, ImageMagick and NetPBM.

Rgds.

After the install Gallery2 from http://wiki.contribs.org/Gallery2 and change the admin-password. Everything is working fine. Thanks for the fine contrib..
But I have noticed  that the http://web.site/gallery2/upgrade still had the password admin.
How can I change that because I don’t want that someone ells can upgrade my gallery2 software. And how and ware can I change it.
I hope someone can help my, I’m not so very good in Linux. Still a beginner.

Thanks

Thanks for your comment.
You should change the rights for the "upgrade"-folder as follows:
Login to your server as user "root" and hit the command

chmod -R 640 /opt/gallery2/html/upgrade

I will upload a new version without this "bug" soon.

When i add the path to an ibay i get this error "Your webserver is configured to prevent you from accessing that directory.Please refer to the open_basedir documentation  and consult your webserver administrator." Does anyone has they same problem with this?

Thanks!

I noticed that many of the addon contribution like Joomla and Gallery2 always make the following url
www.websiite.com/joomla/  or www.websiite.com/gallery2/ is it possible to make the installs without these directory structures.
I would like to choose my own name. Not everybody has to see that i use joomla or some other addon.

Please help
