Thanks a million! I had to disable magic_quotes_gpc and your advice totally did the trick.

[Can't believe that they enable it by default. Ugh... ]

[Even worse, you have to add the a php.ini file into *every* directory that serves PHP content? Ugh...]

Anyway, thanks!

Thanks very much – a great help on a troublesome upgrade to v1.3.1.2 from a previously-working v1.2.6 install on 1and1.

Yeah, 1&1 is causing problems for me too. For some reason, it’s not working well with MySQL 5 of 1&1. Sometimes settings refuse to save and other times the password field for the admin becomes corrupted. Funnily, when I revert back to PHP 4, zenphoto “check for zenphoto update” works but when I’m back to PHP5, it “could not connect to zenphoto.org.” Seems like 1&1 did something funky with their database and PHP installation.

Wow, I think this post is going to really help me! I have a client that hosts with 1and1 and he just started having problems with thumbnails and images not working correctly.

I am going to update to the latest version of Zen Photo and take a look at the .htaccess file to see if that is the problem.

Thanks in advance, I am sure this will help.

Hi Acrylian. This all came out of a post on the forums that I was working through. I didn’t think at the time to make any more official contact.

As we can’t possibly be familiar with any specific host issues we would have been really grateful if you had let us know about this via our forum. We only get to know about this tutorial via Erika who had problems we never encountered on other shared hosts. We will now add a entry linking to you on our site’s troubleshooting.

I am glad I could be of help. It did take me awhile to get mine going, which is why I made this post.

You are incredible. Thank you. You should be one of the admin guys in zenphoto. They weren’t much help. You walked me through it.

After 3 days of pulling out my hair, now, at least, I’m uploaded and working. Now I have to pick a theme and start uploading.

I’m saving your address in case I need your help again.
