1. When I run the install/index.php it shows me this error:
Invalid License ID

This error can come due to 2 reasons:

1. You have not entered the license details in the installation
   These details are sent to you along with the delivery package. You can also view them in your Customer Panel.
   
   
2. Or if you are trying to install it on a domain which the copy of albinator is not licensed. The domain name you entered while purchasing is your license domain. To install the copy on albinator on a different domain you will need to purchase extra licenses. Try our discounted prices for extea licenses, view store.
   
   

2. I am on IIS server, my mails don't go?

The problem has been fixed in version 1.01+. For version earlier than 1.01, click here for solution.

3. I am on IIS server, i can't login?

The problem has been fixed in version 2.0.0+.

What caused that error comes?
This comes due the way php on IIS server handles setting of cookies, when a cookie is set the same page can't access it immediately after setting it. You need to send new header information to do so, the patch does the same.

4. I made mistakes while installing, how do i re-install?

No problem, just delete all sub-directories from the data directory. Proceed with installation again.

5. How to use upgrades?

You just need to unzip all the files into Albinator directory, openyour browser goto: http://www.yoursite.com/albinator_directory/upgrade/. Follow the rest procedure.

Note: You must delete upgrade directory after upgrading.

6. How to change music directory for midi's or add new music in ecards section?

You can simply do it from the Administration Panel > Add ecard music.

7. What is the difference if I set $database_pConnect in config.php as true or false?

This specifies your choice to use either mysql_connect() or mysql_pconnect() to establish a connection to the mysql. mysql_connect() opens a connection to a MySQL Server, whereas the later opens a persistent connection to a MySQL server. If $database_pConnect is set true then the function mysql_pconnect() is used.

As some hosts don't allow persistant connections, therefore you can set this variable to FALSE to use the normal one.

For more information: (php manual)

• mysql_pconnect()
• mysql_connect()

8. Can I run eday.php on my own?

Yes, you can do it manually also but should not be done more than once. (remember it does not produce any output). But we suggest using cron (unix/linux) or scheduler (windows) for automatic running. [more information on how to setup cron job, click here].

9. I don't have Imagemagick, neither i want to install it, what do i do?

Sure, you can very well have it running without it too, to convert your system with no imagemagick, you can do as following:

• Go to Admin Panel > Configuration > Image Settings, set the Resize Engine to one of the GD options
• Edit your text_link_2_* template and remove the manipulate link from it.

10. I have Imagemagick, but i wish to use it via PerlMagick as the earlier versions of Albinator used to do it?

You can do that easily, PerlMagick Instructions.

11. I get Internal Server error when i use Imagemagick via PerlMagick?

You might need to check that there is a temp directory made in the data_directory and is chmoded 777. And also try checking the path to the directories in the cgi script (albinator.cgi) are correct. Finally the albinator.cgi is chmod 755.

12. I know the path of my ImageMagic module, how do I load it?

For PHP method:

• Goto Administration Panel > Media Settings > Imagemagick Path

For Perl method:

• You can do so by adding the following line just below your path settings (in albinator.cgi):
  use lib "ENTER_PATH_HERE";

13. I have Albinator and vBulletin integrated, but when a user logs in vbulletin and then comes to Albinator, every second click he is logged out?

There is some problem with vbulletin cookie setting procedure on some servers, you can simply do this to avoid the error, in essential/integration/vbulletin.inc.php

change the variables:

• $cookie_uid = "bbuserid";
• $cookie_password = "bbpassword";

to:

• $cookie_uid = "uid";
• $cookie_password = "uidpassword";

14. I have Imagemagick, but whenever i try to manipulate any image, I get a broken image (no image display)?

You need to create a directory named temp in the data directory and chmod it 777.

15. I have Imagemagick, but whenever i try to manipulate/upload any image, I get this error:

Warning: Unable to create '../data/username/15_p108.jpg': Permission denied in /fullpath/user/upload.php on line 406

Warning: stat failed for ../data/username/tb_15_p108.jpg (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /fullname/user/upload.php on line 545

a) You need to create a directory named data directory and chmod it 777.
b) If that's ok then you might need to add an extra line in your

/confirm.php (Line No. 77)
/user/admin/addac.php (Line No. 338)

umask(000);

(just above the mkdir command)

16. When I upload no thumbnails are created?

Firstly, download the Server Diagnostics script, (from here). Run the diagnostics test script, it will produce and an output informing you whether you have ImageMagick or GD installed on your server. It will also inform you the version GD installed on your server. After gathering the output, goto Administration > Configuration > Media Settings > Resize Using:

• Select GD 1.6.x : If GD 1.6.x or lower was found in the tests
• Select GD Library : If GD 2.x.x or higher was found
• Select ImageMagick : If ImageMagick was found
  For ImageMagick to work enter the Path to ImageMagick the in same settings Panel
