Hello, Everyone

I just did a successful install of gallery3 (which i obtained from the
current git repo) I successfully installed it on Fedora Linux 40.

I succesfully completed the gallery3 installation. The final step was
saving my database information, which gave me the expected link to go to
my gallery and begin uploading files.

But, when I navigate to my gallery I only get a plain white page.

Here is a link to my phpinfo.php file

http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/phpinfo.php

If you need any more information, please let me know.


Thank you,

Steven P. Ulrick

I checked gallery3/var/logs/ and there was nothing there, except a
.htaccess file.

Here is the contents of that file:

DirectoryIndex .htaccess
SetHandler Gallery_Security_Do_Not_Remove
Options None
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine off
</IfModule>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all

Steven,

I can only guess here, but since everything seems to have gone well up to the import of the images I'm thinking it may have something to do with the way Linux (and all Unix variation) name their file locations. The Gallery code is probably looking for the traditional folder/subfolder/filename.jpg location of the files. Just a guess.

Actually, it does not get as far as to give me the opportunity to upload files to the gallery.

I successfully completed the gallery3 installation process.

Any attempt to access a secure (https/SSL) version of your website fails. Going to the root of your domain using http (is http still supported nowadays?) attempts a redirection to indiana.edu.
Is that to be expected?

If your log directory contains no logs, then it's not even getting far enough to start the logging.  In which case, you need to check your Linux logs - it might be a config/memory issue.

indiana.edu? That's weird. I have never had the ambition, and I lack 
the knowledge to make my domain use https. So the issue you had with
that is to be expected.

More on the redirect. I do have a redirect contained at
http://www.afolkey2.us/index.html. Here is what that file looks like:

> <html>
>   <head>
>     <title>afolkey2.us redirect</title>
>     <META http-equiv="refresh"
> content="0;URL=http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3">
>   </head>
>   <body bgcolor="#ffffff">

>     </center>
>   </body>
> </html>

When I pasted that, I discovered the indiana.edu situation you were
referring to. I think I found an exmple on the internet that would
redirect all visitors to my domain directly to my gallery3 install. I
just never cleaned up the comment in the code that I found on the
internet. I'm going to eliminate that redirect again and see what happens.

I'll also check out the linux logs.

Potentially silly question: is PHP considered a module by httpd that
needs to be loaded? There are some articles on the internet that talk
about fixing problems like the one that I am having. When I run "httpd
-M | grep php" nothing comes back.

Please advise if  this is an issue, and how I can go about fixing it.

I have been successfully installing Gallery3 (and Gallery2 before it)
for about 20 years, and I have never had this exact issue before...
