Options - Rotate 90 counter clockwise not working

[djk]

This option has worked in the past but it has been a long time since I have worked my albums. When I click on the rotate 90 options nothing happens. What could be missing or causing the rotate option not to work?

In case it helps: in my gallery, the rotation works but it does not refresh the image: I have to go to the next pic and back or some such to force it to refresh, and it is rotated as expected.

In my case that is not the issue. The rotate does not do anything. The page does not change in anyway and view another photo and going back and loading the 'rotated' photo it isn't rotated.

Have you upgraded PHP recently?  Anything in the logs?

Nothing is showing in the errors log for Apache. PHP is newer than when I last used the features years ago. Running PHP 8.3.19.

Nothing will be in the Apache logs, as it's likely to be a Gallery error not a web server error.  You need to check the G3 logs in var/logs.

However, as you've upgraded PHP, the error might be to be due to that.  See if my solution in the related thread helps.

Adrian,

Thank you. Your solution is the answer. The GD.php is in two locations on my system. One in Gallery3/var/system/... and the correct one to edit in /Gallery3/system/...

Here are the details of my resolution.

Glad it fixed the issue.

However, you shouldn't have a g3/var/system directory at all.  Maybe you put a backup there once and forgot about i?

This is the content of my var directory:
