Now, I realize nobody but me will care, but venting will make me feel better, so here goes.
I have been spending a lot of time looking around for the "ideal" photo gallery web page utility. I have several constrictions that I have to work around given my service provider, but I thought I had found a solution with the Snipe.net - Snipe Gallery. I installed it and it worked great.
Until I uploaded a picture.
It appears that the PHP upload goes to the /tmp directory on the server, but I can't open anything below my webspace. I asked the tech support guy if they could change the configuration script for this virtual host. His response was that he couldn't do that. Even though it's not going to affect any other sites. All it would take would be to add the /tmp as part of the available directories. I could even walk him through it if needed, but they won't do it. You know if you're a host and you support PHP, wouldn't you expect your people to take advantage of the scripting capabilities? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
So now, I'm instead forced to resort to a low-tech solution such as a dumb php script (no offense web monkey) or using something like Express Thumbnail Creator
Like I said I'm just going to piss and moan for a bit. Stupid hosting company.
