[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Zip upload doesn’t work (blank page)

@alexrabe: the mentioned plugins make the zip-upload fail, even if there are only two plugins active: NextGEN Gallery and one from the list.

I don’t think it’s a memory issue either: the machine is dedicated to one website (for now it’s the only one running on it). There is 1GB of fysical memory, but below are the limits as known by NextGEN Gallery.

There are no PHP errors either. I really have no clue where to go next.

A directory is created in /wordpress/wp-content/gallery with the zip-file name. It contains no files.

So what really could be the problem?

I’m testing zip upload containing only 2 files, 10 kB each. Unlikely any limitations are triggered by these.

Upload fails with an empty page.

Installed today, running WP 2.6.0
Uploaded Zip file, same problem others are reporting: empty folder. So I FTP’d it up manually, that worked.

I see no option to bulk-upload images, only one at a time OR zip, and zip isn’t working.

Other problems: slideshow and pagination causing 404’s. Turned them off for now.

Great gallery, otherwise! Thanks!

I feel to make it work..

1. the directory must be in place. So have a directory like “user_submission” .

2. the permission of the directory must be correct (which I am still trying to figure out what should be the right one. The user upload the file into the system into the specified directory but it won’t do so well if the default permission of the /public_html is is actually unix 755 (RWXR_XR_X) ..and your “user_submission” is I assume belonging to the “group”. But you cannot set your /public_html directory to 777 because it makes your system insecure and your hosting server might not load your website correctly.

3. ALSO (This is most likely the MAIN PROBLEM)… for example your new record number is 10 (meaning your form A has the 10th new records.. and within the record your user has attached a filea and fileb. When the file gets uploaded.. somehow cforms will make it have the name to be 10-filea and 10-fileb.

So there is 2 problem here :

1. where we should put the user uploaded files? what permission should be set to that location..
2. need to verfiy with cform developer if this renaming of the file is causing an issue with admin trying to read uploaded file in the “tracking” section.

Not sure if I am making sense or not here..

anyone hear anything please let us know.

YES. THIS PLUGIN ABSOLUTELY ROCKS! I am loving it!

me too facing the same problem here.. when i upload zip files, the page goes blank.

i deactivated a couple of plugins on my wordpress site and the gallery is now accepting zip files successfully!!!
