Hello, I need Help

I am a non-programmer, and a short 48 hrs on drupal (latest stable), which went very fine to my opinion. Congrats to DRupal dev team !!!

All is best, but to the last 24hrs on Gallery...

I do all on local for the moment. Use Win98, Apache 1.3.14, PHP4.3.1 etc...

Install Drupal is Fine,
Add Content etc: ok
Change themes: ok so far
Add Event module: ok

!!!Add Gallery Module: !!!

I did it all (I hope...) Installed DJGPP, JHEAD, PERL, NMAKE, DMAKE, IMAGEMAGIK, NETPBM, but nothing seems to work really proper except maybe IMAGEMAGIK.

I go through gallery setup fine (no jhead declared...).
But when I get to the gallery itself, and want to upload pictures it always says thumbnail = 0
Although gallery is working fine, I can't get pictures to load. I followed several threads (in this forum and several other forums...) for several (20+) hours now and do not get anyfurther. I installed so many programms/modules/patches, I do not know what my name is anymore...

I do not see where the problem is.

Thanks for very much needed help.

here some update from the front:

when i run setup/index.php diagnotics for imagemagick, it says following files do not exist:

convert.exe
identify.exe
composite.exe

but my path is correct (c:/apache/imagemagic/) and the exe files exist, i can see them.

Where could the problem be ?

Tx

Hello (it seems I am just writing to myself here Only local images are allowed.

I now have found a solution for the 3 binaries to show green in diagnostics bby copying them to c:/ .

However, I still receive this error message while trying to upload photos:
[[
Processing status...
- Adding PHOTO_035.gif
Executing:

c:\apache\htdocs\ImageMagic\convert -quality 50 -size 150x150 c:\apache\htdocs\albums\album01\PHOTO_035.gif -geometry 150x150 c:\apache\htdocs\albums\album01\PHOTO_035.thumb.gif

Results:
none

Error messages:

Status: 0 (expected 0)
Error: Unable to make thumbnail (0)!
Need help? Look in the Gallery FAQ
]]

Anybody a clue as of what is wrong with my install?

Thanks
Quentin

if i search for convert.exe string anywhere in Drupal folder (htdocs/) including misc/gallery/ , it returns a no match...
Shouldn't a code line call for that exe at some point in thumbnail creation process ?

Thanks

Gentlemen, I believe the problem is with ms windows. I had the same problem 2 years ago and finally gave up and did my testing on a remote testing server.

Seems Windoze lacks or has not published the hooks for the operations you are requesting. Windoze won't do sendmail on local installs either, but will with a hack program, for an example of similar occurrences.

So if you have a remote server, then set up a test bed password protected. If not ... hmmm I dunno if anyone has hacked this yet.

Need a remote server we can rent you space for cheep
