Gallery 2 on Debian Lenny/ISPConfig3

Gallery 2 on Debian Lenny/ISPConfig3 [SOLVED]

Hi All,

Got what will hopefully be a quick one. Just done a fresh install with Debian 5, Ispconfig3 with Falko's Perfect Setup guide. Which got me up and running nicely.

What I'm having a problem with is that unless I put my Galleries data directory under web/ (which isn't recommended) Gallery 2 comes up with an error:

Code:

Error: Some files and or directories in your storage directory are not writeable by the webserver user. 
Run chown -R webserverUser /var/www/gallery.techieman.net/web/g2data/ OR 
run chmod -R 777 /var/www/gallery.techieman.net/web/g2data/.

I've tried owning it with the right "web:client" and also the apach user "www-data" and even trying 777 (shouldn't be necessary). I don't think SElinux is enabled as running a "ls -Z" just lists question marks next to all the directories.

My only guess is that something in Apache is preventing Gallery from accessing any files outside of web/.

Any help/general prods in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Do you have right paths in G2 config file?

 

Yep, I can confirm that. When I moved it under web/ it worked fine. I even tried moving it to /g2data with correct perms, just to take all the complexity out, to no avail.

Thanks,

Leon

EDIT: To note, above error shows the working path, but I moved it back out after confirming I could get it to work somewhere. Re-tested with path outside web/, still got error

 

That's definitely it. I changed the vhost file under sites enabled and it worked. I'm assuming if I make any changes to the site from the panel, it will overwrite those changes, but it'll do for the time being until I have time to learn how to make a custom template and apply it to that site (if it's possible).

 

Thanks, Found and done!
