Mandatory checks
If any of these items are highlighted in red then please take actions to correct them. Failure to do so could lead to your Gallery installation not functioning correctly.
Gallery version
Check to see how old Gallery version
1.5.10.dfsg-debian1
is.
This version of Gallery was released on 11/17/2008. That's more than 180 days ago.
You can check for more recent versions by visiting
http://gallery.sourceforge.net
.
PHP version
Check to see if you are running a supported Version of PHP.
Due to bugs and missing functionality in some PHP versions, the minimum PHP version for Gallery 1.5 and newer is at least PHP 4.1.0
PHP v5.3.3-7+squeeze19 is OK.
PHP's safe mode disabled
Check to see if PHP is running in
safe_mode
. Safe Mode is a PHP security feature commonly used in shared environments. Gallery cannot run when Safe Mode is enabled because it imposes too many restrictions.
safe_mode is off.
PHP's exec() function enabled
The
exec()
function is what Gallery uses to launch programs such as Netpbm, ImageMagick, and jhead. If
exec()
is disabled on your server then Gallery will not be able operate.
exec() is enabled on this server.
Netpbm installed
Check to see if Netpbm is installed so that Gallery can manipulate images (rotate, resize, make thumbnails, etc.). You only need to have either Netpbm
or
ImageMagick installed.
13 of 13 Netpbm binaries located.
ImageMagick installed
Check to see if ImageMagick is installed so that Gallery can manipulate images (rotate, resize, make thumbnails, etc.). You only need to have either ImageMagick
or
Netpbm installed.
3 of 3 ImageMagick binaries located.
File integrity
Checking to see if you have the latest versions of all Gallery files.
All 778 tested files up-to-date.
Recommended things
Nice to have.
Register globals
Gallery highly recommends that the PHP option 'register_globals' be turned off, for security purposes. Some software, notably the 'Geeklog' CMS, requires that 'register_globals' be enabled.
register_globals is off.
.htaccess processed by Apache
Allow the Gallery
.htaccess
file to set application specific configuration options for the Gallery application. This is controlled by the webserver owner so it's not always possible for you to change it. The main drawbacks to not having this are that you may not be able to upload files > 2MB (e.g. big ZIP files or movies).
Gallery is able to read your .htaccess file.
PHPs magic quotes off
Check to see if
magic quotes
are enabled on your PHP server. If they're on, you may notice strange behavior if you put ' (single-quote), " (double quote) or \ (backslash) characters in titles or captions in Gallery.
magic_quotes are off.
Apache mod_rewrite
Check to see if your webserver is compiled with
mod_rewrite
. This Apache module allows Gallery to use shorter URLs that are easier to read and look nicer when you mail them to your web-challenged relatives. It's not an essential feature.
mod_rewrite is enabled.
Jhead installed
Check to see if
jhead
is installed so that Gallery can examine EXIF headers embedded in images created with most digital cameras.
jhead
binary version 2.90 located.
jpegtran installed
Check to see if
jpegtran
is installed so that Gallery can perform lossless rotations on JPEG images.
jpegtran binary located.
Gettext support in PHP
Check to see if PHP is compiled with
GNU gettext
support for fast translations.
PHP has GNU gettext support.
Locales needed for Gallery
Check to see what languages are available.
It seems you didn't download any additional languages. This is not a problem! Gallery will appear just in English. Note: If this is not true, check that all files in locale folder are readable for the webserver, or contact the Gallery Team.
Legend:
Success!
