Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

Hi
I have installed TWG on my ubuntu 7.10 server, whenever i try to browse the image gallery the servers CPU maxes out at 100%. When this happens the webserver locks up and its impossible to browse the site, it only works again when the browser window is closed or i reboot the server.
The cache folder does not fill up with thumbnails which suggests that it is a permissions issue but cant think why since i have run,and various chmod commands.


When i check the debug file i get errors in this format:

Im assuming nf = not found?

Server Specs
P4 3ghz
1gb RAM
80GB HDD

Any help would be greatly appreciated since its annoying, especially since ive used TWG in the past without problems

right - but this is only printed during cache generation time.

Have you started this is in the backend?
if you delete the log file - does the error come again.

/Michael

er no i havent manually started the cache generation via the admin page although surely if the thumbnails didnt auto generate them when someone visited then this would also fail?

And yes when i delete the log file the errors come back

Thanks for the prompt reply

which version are you using exactly.

Because in the 1.6.3 and the current dev build this message come only from a admin task.

If you check the path to the image - is this right? and alyways a different one?

/Michael

umm accoring to version.txt im running 1.6.3.2
The path to the image is right image and its to whatever image its trying to display at the time...

The problem is that this message comes if an image is not found.
+ it should not be called at all.

Very strange.

try to find

gen_cache_body($file_dir);

line 1950 or so

in inc/filefunctions.inc.php

and disable this line

// gen_cache_body($file_dir);

Thats the only placeit is called. If you still get the message then something is really messed up - then it's called by someone/thing else.

/Michael

sadly that doesnt fix it

Is it possible that PHP has been set up incorrectly? Its a default installation so perhaps a few variables need adjusting? Im running 5.2.3-1, ive put up the PHP info file up here #removed_broken_link if that helps at all....

Thanks for your help so far

This looks fine - you still get this error message?

Can you try to make a clean install with the version in the forum (dev12)
There are about 80 changes already.
Therefore if there is a problem i can only fix it in the current version.

/Michael

sorry about the late reply:P
I downloaded the latest dev copy and put it on the server, however, there seems to be the same problem as before
Could it be because i am missing a package which TWG needs to make the cache? Or is it the OS itself, ive used TWG before on ubuntu and its worked fine although it was on an earlier release...

wich php version are you using exactly - maybe there is a bug in this php version that causes the problem.

/Michael

im running:
PHP Version 5.2.3-1ubuntu6

The system is also fully patched....

I'm currently testing with 5.0.3, 4.4 and 5.2.1 right now.

I just downloaded 5.2.4 - maybe there I can reproduce it there.
How many images are in your gallery ?

/Michael

currently ~200, but the problem seems to happen even when there are only a few images

I'm testing right now 1.7.
I had this behaviour once but could never reproduce it.

Wait for the next build of 1.7 in the forum.

Try to set the maxumum execution time to e.g. 20 s only.
then check the logs if you get an error - If I made a loop somewhere you get the exact line number where twg loops.

/Michael

do you have access to the access.log file.
Then you could post me the request that does not return!

If you update to 1.7 and the problem is still there I would like to do some debuggin on the server because this has to be solved!

But wait for the beta1 that wil come this week. I only have to implement the image magick support of the upload with the flash.
This is already in the standalone version - I only have to migrate this
