The images on the photoindex page are sized 100x100. They are miniatures. To get the full size picture one must first click on the miniature of the desired photo. I used Mikov Image Resizer for this...

Try accessing the link with a different browser, use a text only one, like links or elinks, and see the result, this will get the result of the php script but won't show you the pictures, so, you'll know if the issue is the way firefox is dealing with the pictures. That program you mentioned to convert and resize, is a Windows one, isnt? So, you convert your images at Windows and then use the images on Linux? I would use Mariusz tip on using convert directly.

Up until recently I didn't think there was a Linux driver for my camera, so while I was offloading the photos in Windows I went ahead and resized them too...

[gentoo-user] Question about Apache, PHP and where execution actually takes place
I have my server box (bullet) and my client box (baby). My wife and I take a lot of digital photos of our cats and post them on our website for friends and family to see. The page consists of sets of 100x100 photographs that can be enlarged if they are clicked on. I was using a VB6.0 program that I wrote to generate the page, but since Windows ME is becoming rather clunky and I'd rather use Linux to do everything I thought I'd try translating my program into PHP. Each time I offload photos from my camera I create a directory for those photos and name it the date I offloaded them in mmddyy format. I then create a list of files in that directory (ex, if I offloaded pix today I would have called the directory 060805 and the list list060805.txt. There is also a file called list.txt that contains each of the list filenames on its own line. My VB program (and now my PHP script) opens list.txt and reads in a list filename and passes it to a subroutine which in turn opens the list filename and formats an HTML page with the 100x100 photos organized into tables by date. It then returns this page to the web browser requesting it. This php script is on bullet in the directory where the lists are. In theory it should work. The first time I used mozilla on baby to go bullet (192.168.1.2:/members/michael/camera/picindex.php) my hard drive started going crazy. On this computer if the hard drive is busy nothing will work. I had to manually poweroff the computer and restart. I logged back in and tried it again, thinking that the first time something else was going on with baby. The same thing happened and I had to manually power down and restart. After I restarted again and logged back in I opened gnome-system-monitor and asked to see the Active Process report. Everything looked good. I opened mozilla to my new php script and watched as mozilla swelled up to take 623.3MB of RAM. This computer only has 256MB RAM with 512MB swap space. My question is this: If PHP is a server side scripting language, then why is mozilla requiring so much of my RAM memory and hard drive? Shouldn't all the work of generating the page be being done on bullet??? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
