Team, I can already hear your “you shoot yourself in the foot” comments, but … I upgraded my server’s version from Fedora 34 to 35, which brings with it php 8.0.14… and part of gallery3 broke.  Any guidance will be appreciated re: (a) is this upgrade the reason for my woes, (b) if so, any chance of seeing an updated ‘revival’ version to embrace php8 in the future, (c) any recommendation, other than going back to php 7, if that is the cause?

Thanks in advance for your comments, and apologies as this is probably known and obvious, but I am out of my depth.

Symptoms: adding a new photo to a folder gives a ‘server responded with 500 code’ error; the photo is copied to its right place, however, but the thumbs and the resizes are not created.  Attempts to create them via admin do not work (task stalls).  Everything else seems to work fine.

Environment: Gallery3 ‘revival’ 3.1.5, linux 5.15.7-200 (Fedora 35), MariaDB 10.5.13, graphics Imagemagick (I tried with GD and GraphicsMagick too: same symptoms), Apache, and, as said, php 8.0.14.  Under Fedora 34 with php7, similar environment, all worked well as it had for many years in successive Fedora versions.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention with such detail. Brad Dutton only released Gallery 3.1.5 with PHP 8 support about 6 weeks ago and hardly anyone is running PHP 8 yet, so we will probably see more issues crop up. I don't know why Brad skipped version 3.1.4 and went straight to 3.1.5 but I wouldn't be surprised if PHP 8 had something to do with it. Personally, I think The Powers That Be are pushing PHP 8 out to soon, since PHP  7.4 was the latest & greatest version until just a year ago. And PHP also took a sudden version jump from 7.4 straight to 8.0 (and then updated to 8.1 just a few weeks after that). A lot of servers and hosting companies are still wrestling with getting everyone and everything running under PHP 7.4 (and the reports I'm seeing indicate that PHP 8 breaks a whole lot of stuff that worked under 7.4)

I'll be updating my sites to Gallery 3.1.5 when I can find some time, but I'm going to stick with a sever running PHP 7.4 for now, until some very compelling reasons come along to convince me to dive into PHP 8.0

Hi,

Gallery 3.1.5 should be working with PHP 8.0. I just updated the docker container to use PHP 8. I'm running this container for my personal gallery and there doesn't seem to be any problems. I haven't tried 8.1 yet nor run any code compatibility analysis tools for that version. Can you check the log files in var/logs and see if anything is being logged in there? That could help determine the issue.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad & J.R., thanks for your messages.

 

I forgot to report about logs in my previous message, sorry.  I did add the ‘local.php’ file under var/ as per the gallery3 website instructions; please see below the contents of that file and of the logs themselves.  The logs of Apache, MariaDB and php-fpm have no entry that suggests a problem.


If you (Brad) think that g3 should work under php8 I'll keep digging ... is there an easy way I could get my hands around the docker you mention, with php8 that works fine?

 

Thanks again and Happy Holidays to y’all!

If you are interested in running gallery from a docker container you'll need to read on how to install docker and get that working. Once that's installed you can get gallery working using these directions:

Aside from the docker route, if you are running PHP FPM with Apache then the default PHP settings in the .htaccess file won't be used. You'll need to make sure these are set in your PHP FPM settings:
Any errors are probably being logged to the PHP FPM error log file, so check there for issues.

I finally made time to dig a bit deeper into my problem (g3 broken after upgrading my server).  I now got an actual (interactive) error message (see attachment), and the same info is recorded in the /var/logs/ folder... thanks in advance for any guidance you could provide!

It seems like your logged in session is being lost. Is your site running on SSL? Perhaps the URLs are switching between SSL and no SSL?

After learning from Brad and JR that my problems were not caused by php8 as i had assumed, I reinstalled 3.1.5 and started adding themes and modules in steps until it failed.  This is what I found:

--In my current environment, activating module "image_optimizer" causes the failure I reported: thumbs not created, its tasks stalled.  i don't know what changed in Fedora 35 to cause this loss-of-session/ssl thing that Brad mentions.

--Additionally, module "arrow_nav" causes theme "greydragon" to crash; not sure if other themes would also fail.

I disabled both and am up and running again.  This extends the life of my gallery for the foreseeable future, so I am satisfied.  I am sorry I cannot offer a more complete solution but I report this as is in case somebody else has a similar problem.

Incidentally, while I was thinking that gallery3 was dead for me I installed "piwigo", making it use the gallery3 albums in-place, and spent some time playing with it.  It works fine, but i prefer G3, so I am happy having sorted this bump, even if at a small loss of functionality.

Which takes me to the real reason for this email: to extend my thanks to JR, Brad and everybody else involved in supporting and adding value to this system and this group.  I would not have found this walk-around without your input; I would have just installed the next best solution, and be worse off for it.  Thank you, guys.  Never mind user attitude: stand tall.  You are making the internet better.

Geraldo,

Thanks so much for letting us know which two modules you found to be causing bad behavior with gallery ver 3.1.5 running under PHP 8. This kind of report really helps with the current process of tweaking Gallery (and its add-on modules) run under the very-new PHP 8.  Brad and others did a lot of work to check out the included modules under version 3.1.3 and PHP 7+ and to correct any the problems they found. But PHP 8 is a whole new ballgame. The internet is full of people who have jumped into PHP 8 and been having lots of problems with software and scripts of all kinds.

It might be a good idea for most gallery users to stick with version 3.1.3 and a server running PHP 7... preferably 7.4 -- or if you want to upgrade you site to 3.1.5 or just install it fresh for future work, do it on a PHP 7.4 server for now.

I personally believe that PHP 8 is "not ready for Prime Time" and was released prematurely under industry pressure because of all the hacking attacks which have become epidemic.

Based on what I've read up to this point,  I, myself, would suggest everyone forget about running PHP 8 for at least another year. Most server companies will not insist on you running PHP 8 right now, but will have the option to let you set your account to running something like PHP 7.4 -- that's a good bet for now, unless you are running apps that do financial transactions or store user's personal data. And even though there has been a very ol Shopping Cart module around for a long time, using something like that inside Gallery never seemed like a very good idea to me, not even 10 years ago on gallery 3.0.9 back in the good old days of the comparatively "safe internet".

Having waited for a year I tried switching my gallery 3.1.5 installation from PHP 7.4 to 8.0 and 8.1, resulting in extensive crash reports too long to post here - the start of the 8.0 crash report is shown below. This installation was migrated from gallery 2, uses greydragon for styling, and has been customised to give a similar appearance to the original gallery 2 installation. The customisations made are described via winmerge reports in https://github.com/dajavous/thejigasaurus.com

Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. I am considering starting with a fresh 3.1.5 installation and migrating the existing content without the additional modules installed, prior to switching to PHP 8.0.

Is there any way you can post more details, I don't see the actual error in there. There hasn't been an updated release that fully supports 8.1 yet, I'll see if I can get that pushed out this weekend.

I also changed the theme from greydragon to wide wind, which resulted in more useful error messages to the logged in admin.

For this theme error your customizations appear to have some syntax errors:

error: File not found: %27%20.%20%24this-%3Eurl%28
That looks like $this->url( is being interpreted as a filename somewhere.

The database_info module you are using doesn't appear to be compatible with PHP 8 when there are no tables in the database. Update the  modules/database_info/views/admin_block_db.html.php file with the content from here:
https://github.com/bwdutton/gallery3-contrib/blob/master/3.0/modules/database_info/views/admin_block_db.html.php
and the error should be gone. Note that it will say 0 tables.

Thanks again. This now allows me to access the admin dashboard using PHP 8 and Wide Wind. When I try to change the theme from the admin pages I get different errors depending on the theme selected. The Gallery Wind errors below are also reported using Wide Wind when returning to the front end.

      I now have a fresh installation for Gallery 3.1.5 successfully setup with PHP 8 using Wide Wind as the template, and have imported some tables (so far) from the original database and the contents of the var folder (except database.php). This is now displaying the albums and metadata correctly (with a few thumbnails yet to be updated) at www.dajavous.com/gallery315. The original custom installation is at www.oldtoysandgames.com/gallery315 and the Gallery 2 version currently at www.thejigsaurus.com. None of the customisations made in the custom installation has been implemented on the fresh installation yet, and some of the metadata will need reformatting to display properly with the Wide Wind template.

      I would like some general advice on making some of the older modules not included as part of the core 3.1.5 installation to be compatible with PHP 8 if that is feasible. 

      I would like to be able to use albumtree, tag albums, and greydragon if possible.

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      My website is now successfully running on PHP 8 at https://www.dajavous.com/gallery315. 

      I downloaded albumtree from Brad Dutton's fork of Gallery 3 at https://github.com/bwdutton/gallery3-contrib/tree/master/3.0/modules/albumtree which fixed the errors. I modified the Wide Wind template so that hyperlinks now work in the description text, so I no longer need greydragon. The tag album link available in the sidebar is broken in the version I am using, but the tag album page can be created by selecting * for Display items that contain any of the following tags in the edit album form.

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      David,

      Your site is looking very good. I note that at the very bottom of the home page it is still displaying the horribly obsolete message:

      "Powered by Gallery 3.0+ (branch master, build 434)"

      In my Gallery I removed the powered-by line long ago but don't recall just how I did it... It would be great if we could finally get rid of this and any other lingering hard-coded references to the ancient versions/builds.

      Jon,

      I've documented changes that I made to Gallery 3.1.5 here:

      https://github.com/dajavous/thejigasaurus.com

      This includes changing Wide Wind to show HTML in the item descriptions, summary (the thumbnail main text shown on hover) and title. The changes were in two phases, one to migrate from Gallery 2, and the next to get Gallery 3.1.5 running with the appearance I wanted with PHP 8.1 - there are two sets of WinMerge zip files that can be downloaded, expanded and navigated via any browser.

      The live website with the changes made is here:

      https://www.thejigasaurus.com/

      Other people have greydragon working under 3.1.5, but I decided earlier on to opt for one of the core themes that is already included in version 3.1.5 of Gallery.

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      I'm looking to try and upgrade from php 7.x to php 8.x. I've seen similar issues as those here with greydragon not loading. I've switched to wide wind and my gallery renders however I have 2 issues and wondering if others have a solution:
      1) with greydragon I can put HTML links in my album descriptions and the links become live. However wide wind doesn't render the links. Does someone have another theme that renders the links?
      2) When using wide wind and gallery wind as one mouses over albums and images a box appears and it overlaps the box below it. Anyone have a fix for this, or is this expected behavior?

      Thank you

      David,

      Thank you for the pointer, that was quite helpful. I was able to grab the changes that I wanted and test them locally. I'll be able to upgrade my production version now.

      Have you thought about making your changes be a separate theme that others can install?

      I've reviewed the github for jigasaurus website but can't make out the changes. Is there an easy way to implement url links in descriptions?

      David,

      The changes were made in two stages, as documented in these two Winmerge files:

      Migrating thejigasaurus.com from Gallery 2 to Gallery v3.15, while keeping the same look and feel as much as possible:

      Gallery v315 Install to Live 22 03 2022.zip

      Migrating thejigasaurus.com from PHP7 to PHP 8:

      thejigasaurus7 to thejigasaurus8 30 05 2023.zip

      If you download each of these zip files and expand them, open the index file in the expanded folder to browse the changes made (for example Gallery v315 Install to Live 22 03 2022.html). I did not use github to manage these two projects, but just to document the changes made, including the changes to sql tables and module order etc.

      I'm not sure what you mean by implementing url links in descriptions?

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      I just want to add the ability to put url clickable links in my descriptions. As of now they just show raw html.

      On second thought, maybe I just need to install the module to activate the TinyMCE editor. Do these old modules even work?

      I've made this change to my gallery install. I'm using widewind as the theme and it looks like the changes need to be made to the theme.
      My change is to gallery/themes/widewind/views/album.html.php
      I replaced the calls to html::purify with nl2br for the description (around line 2) and the child title (around line 26).

      David,

      I used the same approach with the same theme for the same php file. Here is the complete listing , which includes additional changes to pagination you may not require. Just use the lines with nl2br (purify removes the html in the description, tiltle etc):

      <?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?>
<?php // @todo Set hover on AlbumGrid list items for guest users ?>

<div id="g-info">
  <?= $theme->album_top() ?>
  
  <?= $theme->paginator() ?>
  
    <h1><?= nl2br($item->title) ?></h1>
    <div class="g-description"><?= nl2br($item->description) ?></div>
</div>

<ul id="g-album-grid" class="ui-helper-clearfix">
<?php if (count($children)): ?>
  <?php foreach ($children as $i => $child): ?>
  <?php if($child->tag_album != "tag") { ?>
    <?php if ($child->is_album()): ?>
      <?php $item_class = "g-album"; ?>
    <?php elseif ($child->is_movie()): ?>
      <?php $item_class = "g-movie"; ?>
    <?php else: ?>
      <?php $item_class = "g-photo"; ?>
    <?php endif ?>
  <li id="g-item-id-<?= $child->id ?>" class="g-item <?= $item_class ?>">
    <?= $theme->thumb_top($child) ?>
    <a href="<?= $child->url() ?>">
      <?php if ($child->has_thumb()): ?>
      <?= $child->thumb_img(array("class" => "g-thumbnail")) ?>
      <?php endif ?>
    </a>
    <?= $theme->thumb_bottom($child) ?>
    <?= $theme->context_menu($child, "#g-item-id-{$child->id} .g-thumbnail") ?>
    <h2><span class="<?= $item_class ?>"></span>
      <a href="<?= $child->url() ?>"><?= nl2br($child->title) ?></a></h2>
    <ul class="g-metadata">
      <?= $theme->thumb_info($child) ?>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <?php } ?>
  <?php endforeach ?>
<?php else: ?>
  <?php if ($user->admin || access::can("add", $item)): ?>
  <?php $addurl = url::site("uploader/index/$item->id") ?>
  <li><?= t("There aren't any photos here yet! <a %attrs>Add some</a>.",
            array("attrs" => html::mark_clean("href=\"$addurl\" class=\"g-dialog-link\""))) ?></li>
  <?php else: ?>
  <li><?= t("There aren't any photos here yet!") ?></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?= $theme->album_bottom() ?>

      <?= $theme->paginator() ?>

      David,

      Open this file in your browser to show the highlighted changes made to album.html.php in the themes\widewind\views folder. This will allow html to be displayed in titles, descriptions, and child album titles.

      In addition to the changes made from html::purify to nl2br it also includes unrelated changes to pagination (at the top of the page in addition to the bottom of the page) and skipping the display of children of tag albums. The if block skipping the display of child albums for tag albums will still show child albums for tag albums unless other changes are made as described in my github repository for thejigasaurus, so can be omitted.

      We don't use the description field for photos in thejigasaurus.com, as all the description is in the album, so hyperlinks in photo descriptions were not an issue for us.

      WordPress has been complaining about my obsolete PHP7.3 for a long time now, so today I again attempted to make the switch to PHP 8.1 after upgrading to 3.1.5 with no luck.  I just get a completely blank screen waiting on 3.1.5 to show.  Switching to 7.4 appears to work as expected and WordPress appears to be happy with it, so I'm ok for now, but just figured I'd check here to see if there's any quick fix.  I don't have a lot of time for debugging at the moment, and scanning this thread doesn't look like many have made the move, but if there are any suggestions, they're welcome.  I probably have to go through the trouble of disabling all my modules and testing one-by-one to see if that's the issue, but not today!

      Thanks,

      Beo

      Beo,

      I've already moved 3.1.5 to run on PHP 8.1, mainly making use of Brad Dutton's changes shown here:

      https://github.com/bwdutton/gallery3

      I have also made additional changes to some other modules here as documented in the WinMerge files (particularly thejigasaurus7 to thejigasaurus8 30 05 2023.zip)
       that need to be downloaded and expanded (some of these changes are not related to PHP 8 compatibility, but to provide a similar look and feel to the Gallery 2 installation of thejigasaurus.com):

      https://github.com/dajavous/thejigasaurus.com

      Many of the changes needed are the removal of short tags, but there are some others such as changing the theme that I was using from GreyDragon to Wide Wind. We could really do with a new set of install files that incorporate the required changes for PHP 8 compatibility, plus a set of the additional modules that are still available with just the changes needed for PHP 8 compatibility.

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      Thanks for some great work. I am wondering... I have been using the Grey Dragon theme for over a decade and still like it a lot. Did you find that it was not practical to continue using GD in PHP 8.1+ ?

      J.R.,

      I also liked GreyDragon but decided to move away from it as:

      - the developer of the theme has moved away from Gallery to Piwigo, so it is no longer being maintained
      - the download link no longer works (not a major issue for me as I already have the theme and module files)
      - the theme requires the GreyDragon shared module in addition to the theme files, which needed more work to ensure PHP 8 compatibility
      - I could achieve what I needed for the look and feel of thejigasaurus.com by customising the Wide Wind theme that is included in the 3.1.5 install (so more likely to be supported in future Gallery versions), with the main change being the swapping of the sidebar menu from the LHS to the RHS
      - I like the way that the album summary text and key fields / tags display when hovering over the album thumbnails using Wide Wind, giving a more compact view of the thumbnails
      - The Wide Wind theme works well as a responsive display for different device sizes in both landscape and portrait views

      Regards,

      David Armstrong.

      Yeah... I kinda figured that GD's required module in addition to the theme files would be an issue, particularly since the original author is not about anymore. Of course, that module was what gave Grey Dragon the on-screen interface with which you could easily change most everything the theme did (and undo any change just as easily). Thanks for the tip on how to modify Wide Wind to look more like GD.

      Hello,

      I have not updated to the newest Gallery. I have an old but extensive site using v.3 (almost certainly 3.09?). I realize this forum is dedicated to the newer update that followed the demise of the original Gallery, but I’m hoping that knowledgeable people here might steer me in the best direction and perhaps comment on whether upgrading to the most current version might be necessary.

      The immediate problem is that between yesterday and today my gallery home page went from displaying correctly to displaying only a blank page. Looking at source, the enter content appears now to be: 

      <html><head></head><body></body></html>
      <head></head>
      <body></body>
      <html><head></head><body></body></html>

      Oddly, individual images that I have linked to from other domains still appear. For example, this still shows the image at this URL when viewed at sites that have been given access: https://gallery.gdanmitchell.com/gallery/var/albums/NaturalWorld/TheLandscape/California/NorthernAndCentralCalifornia/Central-Valley/CranesSunriseCloudsSierraCrest21022023.jpg

      (For example, www.fredmiranda.com has permission to access images on my Gallery installation, as this page demonstrates: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1838490/8#16465031 .

      If I try to simply use a URL to go to one of the image collections at the site (trying, for example:  https://gallery.gdanmitchell.com/gallery/var/albums/NaturalWorld/TheLandscape/California/NorthernAndCentralCalifornia/Central-Valley/) I get an error message:

      Forbidden

      You don't have permission to access this resource.

      Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


      It appears, as expected, that I’m not currently logged in as admin. That is normal behavior, as I’m set up so that I’m logged out when I close Gallery and normally have to login manually to see the admin pages and tools. However, the site should be visible to the public.

      I tried repairing the tables with MyPHPAdmin at my host, but the tables didn’t show any errors.

      If I recall correctly there was some method of gaining admin access to a Gallery site when the site isn’t working and one can’t log in using the normal methods. I’ve been unsuccessful in locating a description of that method. If someone can help me with that, I’d like to try that.

      Beyond that, any thoughts or suggestions? 

      I could try to upgrade to the current version supported via this forum, but I’d rather attempt that with a working site rather than one that isn’t currently working correctly… to avoid compounding one problem with others.

      Thanks for your help.

      Dan

      Yeah. I finally figured out that it was a PHP version issue. My host may have upgraded without saying anything. I was able to set it back to 7.something, and it works. 

      I’d still like to upgrade to the newer Gallery, but this takes some of the pressure off and reduces the risks.

      I’ve been using Gallery for quite a long time, and that site has many thousands of photographs.

      Thanks,

      Dan,

      *sigh*... with all due respect, we've been talking here about the absolute necessity for current Gallery users to upgrade to at least version 3.1.5 if they want their existing gallery to continue to work. This is because Gallery 3.09 and earlier simply will not work under php 8.1. Php is what the programming code Gallery uses. Php is also the software used by the your hosting server to display your gallery on the internet. Php 8.1 and higher are the newer, improved version of php with major changes and security enhancements. At this point, there are almost no website hosting services left which have not switched over to PHP 8.1 or higher. They simply must do this in order to keep their servers as safe as possible from hackers and to provide the best service to their customers.

      What just happened to your existing Galley is that your hosting server finally switched over to php 8.1 and --as we've been telling people would happen for the last 4 years -- your Gallery 3.09 has stopped working. The time to upgrade to at least Gallery 3.1.5 was two years ago. Now it may be too late. Here's why: in order upgrade Gallery 3.09 to 3.1.5 and keep all your existing content, you have to run the upgrade program into to a working version of your existing galley. But you can't do that if your sever is now running php 8.1 because your existing Gallery is no longer running. Having waited until the train has left the station, it will be very hard to upgrade to version 3.1.5 and keep your existing content.

      The only thing you can do is talk to your server company and see if they will set your hosting account back to running php 7.4 or 7.6 temporarily.       They may not want to do this because of creating a security vulnerability. But if they do, then your Gallery should start working again. Then you download 3.1.5 and run it onto your gallery to get it converted to Gallery 3.1.5. When the upgrade is complete you check to make sure everything is working properly with your  upgraded Gallery. Finally you have your hosting company switch your hosting account back to php 8.1.

      If that can't be done, then you have to create a new Gallery -- using version 3.1.5. This will create a new, empty installation of Gallery which you can start putting content into. If you have backup of your old images, you can upload them into the new gallery.

      Hello -

      I have been using Gallery 3 for years. I have been getting the group e-mails and know that I have to upgrade my php. Because I do not use the program, that I have made G3 part of, very much, and have had recent major events occur, taking the time to make the switch has not been a high priority. However, after reading a very recent posting to the group, I am making this a PHP Weekend! 

      First of, I am not a programmer. My sister is very good with it and she helped me marry three CSS programs together to make them seamlessly appear as one. Gallery 3, with the Black Hawk template, plus a few plug-ins is the pictorial portion of my site, Word Press, the blog portion and a database type program, is the third. The only one of the three that is not at least php 8.0 compatible is my G3 3.0.4. However, it is still running fine, as the hosting service still offers php 5.6, and everything between that and 8.3. However, the database portion of my site is running real slow…perhaps due to G3.

      So, my question is, where do I go to get 3.1.5, which I believe is the latest stable G3? Does it update as far back as 3.0.4, or do I have to do interim updates to get to that 3.1.5? I have most, if not all e-mails, since 12/31/21 (must have remained home, ‘cause of COVID that year, and set up a smart mailbox), if this been explained in an e-mail. 

      I appreciate for any pointers that may be sent this way.

      Jim

      JR,

      I appreciate your “sigh,” and yes, I’ve put this off because it has continued to work (with occasional fixable glitches) and, of course, there are risks any time one does an upgrade like this. The good news (to some extent) is that I was able to set the PHP version for that domain back to 7.something… though I recognize that there are reasons why that isn’t a realistic long term solution.

      Though, as you explain, that may allow me to do the upgrade now.

      Thanks.

      Jim,

      Your situation is unique, since you really should have upgraded your Gallery version 3.0.4 to Gallery to version 3.0.9 ten years ago when it was released. Not keeping your apps/programs upgraded in a timely fashion guarantees that something will break someday. Anyway... To get your gallery running version 3.1.5,  you first have to upgrade your old 3.0.4 to version 3.0.9. This may be complicated because your sister somehow has connected your Gallery 3.0.4 to both Word Press and some kind of database program -- so chances are the usual upgrade process from 3.0.4 to 3.0.9 will have problems working with this unusual installation. Also you are using the very old Black Hawk template which also might get in the way of upgrading.

      Maye some others in this group have an idea how to handle this... all I can suggest is that you take it one step at a time (and probably get your sister involved). First, switch from the Black Hawk template to what has become the gallery "default" -- the Wind or Wide Wind template. Don't worry that it looks different from your current template, the important thing is to get your gallery running with a template we know will not get in the way of upgrading to 3.0.9. Once your have your gallery running 3.0.9 and everything is working only then do your try to upgrade your Gallery 3.0.9 to version 3.1.5. Here's where you can get what you need:

      Gallery 3.0.9 is available at:

      https://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery/files/gallery3/3.0.9/

      There are links to instructions on how to upgrade gallery 3.0.4 to 3.0.9 at this page:

      http://galleryproject.org/gallery_3_0_9

      Finally, Gallery 3.1.5 is available at:

      https://galleryrevival.com/download.php

      note: install version 3.1.5 with the same basic installation instructions as 3.0.9

      Dan,

      Good luck on the upgrade(s). Search the gallery-3-users google group with keywords relating to upgrading and php 8 and you will find a lot more information. My sigh was as much for myself and everyone else who has ever dragged their feet about upgrade: I stuck with Windows 7 until one day it literally exploded in my face. (now I run Linux... :)

      Jim,

      Oops... I forgot to mention an important point:  Once you get the upgrade to version 3.0.9 running properly do not switch your hosting account back to php 8.1 -- you must do the upgrade from 3.0.9 to 3.1.5 under php 7.4 or 7.6 first. Then check it to be sure it is running well. Only then switch your hosting account over to php 8.1. There are other increments above php 8.1, but I recommend sticking with php 8.1 for the immediate future.

      -- J.R.


      Jim,

      Your situation is unique, since you really should have upgraded your Gallery version 3.0.4 to Gallery to version 3.0.9 ten years ago when it was released. Not keeping your apps/programs upgraded in a timely fashion guarantees that something will break someday. Anyway... To get your gallery running version 3.1.5,  you first have to upgrade your old 3.0.4 to version 3.0.9. This may be complicated because your sister somehow has connected your Gallery 3.0.4 to both Word Press and some kind of database program -- so chances are the usual upgrade process from 3.0.4 to 3.0.9 will have problems working with this unusual installation. Also you are using the very old Black Hawk template which also might get in the way of upgrading.

      Maye some others in this group have an idea how to handle this... all I can suggest is that you take it one step at a time (and probably get your sister involved). First, switch from the Black Hawk template to what has become the gallery "default" -- the Wind or Wide Wind template. Don't worry that it looks different from your current template, the important thing is to get your gallery running with a template we know will not get in the way of upgrading to 3.0.9. Once your have your gallery running 3.0.9 and everything is working only then do your try to upgrade your Gallery 3.0.9 to version 3.1.5. Here's where you can get what you need:

      Gallery 3.0.9 is available at:

      https://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery/files/gallery3/3.0.9/

      There are links to instructions on how to upgrade gallery 3.0.4 to 3.0.9 at this page:

      http://galleryproject.org/gallery_3_0_9

      Finally, Gallery 3.1.5 is available at:

      https://galleryrevival.com/download.php

      note: install version 3.1.5 with the same basic installation instructions as 3.0.9

      I know I'm replying to al old post,. but having just upgraded my hosted environment to PHO 8.3 I 've had various issues that I've managed to fix.

      arrow_nav is broken.  The fix is, luckily, very simple.

      Edit helpers/arrow_nav_theme.php

      Old:
      function head($theme) {

      New:
      static function head($theme) {

      After learning from Brad and JR that my problems were not caused by php8 as i had assumed, I reinstalled 3.1.5 and started adding themes and modules in steps until it failed.  This is what I found:

      --In my current environment, activating module "image_optimizer" causes the failure I reported: thumbs not created, its tasks stalled.  i don't know what changed in Fedora 35 to cause this loss-of-session/ssl thing that Brad mentions.

      --Additionally, module "arrow_nav" causes theme "greydragon" to crash; not sure if other themes would also fail.

      I disabled both and am up and running again.  This extends the life of my gallery for the foreseeable future, so I am satisfied.  I am sorry I cannot offer a more complete solution but I report this as is in case somebody else has a similar problem.

      Incidentally, while I was thinking that gallery3 was dead for me I installed "piwigo", making it use the gallery3 albums in-place, and spent some time playing with it.  It works fine, but i prefer G3, so I am happy having sorted this bump, even if at a small loss of functionality.

      Which takes me to the real reason for this email: to extend my thanks to JR, Brad and everybody else involved in supporting and adding value to this system and this group.  I would not have found this walk-around without your input; I would have just installed the next best solution, and be worse off for it.  Thank you, guys.  Never mind user attitude: stand tall.  You are making the internet better.

      If you are interested in running gallery from a docker container you'll need to read on how to install docker and get that working. Once that's installed you can get gallery working using these directions:

      Aside from the docker route, if you are running PHP FPM with Apache then the default PHP settings in the .htaccess file won't be used. You'll need to make sure these are set in your PHP FPM settings:
      Any errors are probably being logged to the PHP FPM error log file, so check there for issues.

      Brad & J.R., thanks for your messages.

       

      I forgot to report about logs in my previous message, sorry.  I did add the ‘local.php’ file under var/ as per the gallery3 website instructions; please see below the contents of that file and of the logs themselves.  The logs of Apache, MariaDB and php-fpm have no entry that suggests a problem.


      If you (Brad) think that g3 should work under php8 I'll keep digging ... is there an easy way I could get my hands around the docker you mention, with php8 that works fine?

       

      Thanks again and Happy Holidays to y’all!

      Hi,

      Gallery 3.1.5 should be working with PHP 8.0. I just updated the docker container to use PHP 8. I'm running this container for my personal gallery and there doesn't seem to be any problems. I haven't tried 8.1 yet nor run any code compatibility analysis tools for that version. Can you check the log files in var/logs and see if anything is being logged in there? That could help determine the issue.

      Thanks,
      Brad

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention with such detail. Brad Dutton only released Gallery 3.1.5 with PHP 8 support about 6 weeks ago and hardly anyone is running PHP 8 yet, so we will probably see more issues crop up. I don't know why Brad skipped version 3.1.4 and went straight to 3.1.5 but I wouldn't be surprised if PHP 8 had something to do with it. Personally, I think The Powers That Be are pushing PHP 8 out to soon, since PHP  7.4 was the latest & greatest version until just a year ago. And PHP also took a sudden version jump from 7.4 straight to 8.0 (and then updated to 8.1 just a few weeks after that). A lot of servers and hosting companies are still wrestling with getting everyone and everything running under PHP 7.4 (and the reports I'm seeing indicate that PHP 8 breaks a whole lot of stuff that worked under 7.4)

      I'll be updating my sites to Gallery 3.1.5 when I can find some time, but I'm going to stick with a sever running PHP 7.4 for now, until some very compelling reasons come along to convince me to dive into PHP 8.0

      Team, I can already hear your “you shoot yourself in the foot” comments, but … I upgraded my server’s version from Fedora 34 to 35, which brings with it php 8.0.14… and part of gallery3 broke.  Any guidance will be appreciated re: (a) is this upgrade the reason for my woes, (b) if so, any chance of seeing an updated ‘revival’ version to embrace php8 in the future, (c) any recommendation, other than going back to php 7, if that is the cause?

      Thanks in advance for your comments, and apologies as this is probably known and obvious, but I am out of my depth.

      Symptoms: adding a new photo to a folder gives a ‘server responded with 500 code’ error; the photo is copied to its right place, however, but the thumbs and the resizes are not created.  Attempts to create them via admin do not work (task stalls).  Everything else seems to work fine.

      Environment: Gallery3 ‘revival’ 3.1.5, linux 5.15.7-200 (Fedora 35), MariaDB 10.5.13, graphics Imagemagick (I tried with GD and GraphicsMagick too: same symptoms), Apache, and, as said, php 8.0.14.  Under Fedora 34 with php7, similar environment, all worked well as it had for many years in successive Fedora versions.

      J.R. -

      Thanks for getting back to me with your suggestions, which I intend to follow. I don’t understand if the Subject of this thread is directed towards my situation or not. The lowest php my hosting service has is 5.6. In that you didn’t mention it in the body of the message, I will take it as it does not pertain to my installation. 

      I will do as you suggest and hopefully I will get to 3.1.5 successfully. My sister did document what she did and I do not remember anything being done in Gallery 3 or in WP.  WP has been updated, by WP, several times, and all works fine. Perhaps by using the database program as the entry point for users to login into the site, there was no need for altering the code in the other programs. Again, I am not a programmer, so that’s a wild guess. 

      Thanks again, and hopefully getting to 3.0.9 (Step 1 after changing the theme) will be a piece of cake:)!

      Jim
