thumbnailer

i am getting this on the filebrowser, Error Message: Your version of PHP does not appear to have JPEG thumbnailing support. Affected Elements: Thumbnailer.GenerateThumbnail(); why? and how do i fix it? i'm on Debian Unstable.

You need to install the gdlib library (needs compiling into php). I could be wrong but i've a feeling it's possible to do it with some apt-get trickery. Otherwise you need to recompile apache --with-gdlib or some such. If you have a host it's their job.

ok i've installed it, now what? restart apache?

Minisweeper

yup. should do the trick.

andrewm659

ok, i put the filebrowser in the root of my webserver dir and it overwrote the index.html file. I have pictures in that dir, can i change the thumbnailer code so that ppl can look thru the album??

Minisweeper

eh? Looking through the album is nothing to do with the thumbnailer. There should be an index.php packaged in the filebrowser zip which dos that job for you.

andrewm659

interesting then why did it overwrite the index.html ??

Minisweeper

No idea. The filebrowser package i have doesnt have any .html files.

andrewm659

ok then instead of going to .htm it went to the index.php file how can i make it go to the .htm file?

You'll need to create a .htaccess file with

DirectoryIndex index.htm

Alternatively rename the .htm file to firstpage.htm and put

DirectoryIndex firstpage.htm

Another option is to rename the index.php to something else. That's what I did but in future I'll use the .htaccess method.
