I wonder about making an offline preinstalled Gelbooru bundled with XAMPP, some may find it useful. I already installed an offline MediaWiki to hold my miscellaneous shit, but I have a feeling that Gel would be a tad bit harder to get up and running, and it would really need a mass-upload (or rather, mass-inject) feature to be useful for offline personal use.

0.1.11 installed in Wamp, can anyone tell my why thumbs_fix.php will stop making new thumbnails when the total number of images in the thumbnail folder reaches 84?

Also, hitting the "next" link, instead of adding 1 to the image id in the url, it always goes to the highest numbered image. For example, if I'm viewing and image with this url:

gelbooru/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=17

clicking on "next", instead of showing "id=18" it will show the highest numbered image (600 or whatever)

Using Gelbooru 0.1.11, I end up with the following error when going through the steps here (code.google.com/p/imgbrd-grabber/wiki/Gelbooru)

#1146 - Table 'gelbooru.tag_index' doesn't exist

Trying to complete this step doesn't seem to work:
ALTER TABLE `tag_index` ADD PRIMARY KEY (`tag`)
I'm not sure if it's any help, but the "tag_index" and "tag" are orange

Now with 0.1.10, I have a different problem. I don't have the issue above, everything seems to work fine, but then when trying to get actual images loaded, no images actually show up on the localbooru. All I get is an icon that represents an image but nothing. The tags seem to work, but other than that... nothing. The title "Localbooru" doesn't appear either.

I'm using Grabber 3.4.1 on Windows 7 for getting the images.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks!

Did you set your image domain correctly? Are there thumbnails in the thumbnail folder?

I have no idea. I always delete the thing when it doesn't work.

What do you mean by "image domain"? I've basically just been following the directions in the link. So if there's something not within there that you are supposed to do, then I'm missing it ^^;

I wonder whether the gelboou 0.2.x is open-sourced. Where could I get the source code? Thanks!

Sorry, Gelbooru 0.2.x is not open source at this time.

Installed 0.1.11 but I ran into a few problems,
first of all the css doesn't seem to load it just seems like plain html.
secondly, I can't upload any images, I changed the thumbnail and images permissions, also the php tmp file upload permissions (to 775)
I get the error "No image given for upload."
I certainly selected an image.
Hope anyone can help me

Edit: the nice people in the irc helped me

I just successfully installed Gelbooru 1.11 on a fresh Linux install. This guide (code.google.com/p/imgbrd-grabber/wiki/Gelbooru)
was extremely helpful! There were a few problems, partly as I'm not a Linux expert. This is my attempt to document the
problems in hope to help future Gelbooru installers.


>4. If you are using linux, give the "images", "images/1" and "thumbnails" folders writable permissions.

The tmp folder also needs writing permission, according to comments elsewhere.

>5. Then, go to localhost/phpmyadmin/. If you have to login, use "root" as username and "" as password (no password).

Login with the username and password established when MySQL was installed. See #7 below as well.

I also had to install phpmyadmin first.

>7. Then, open the file "config.php" with a plain text editor (I don’t recommend using a WYSIWYG editor such as word).

These are a little tricky for the neophyte, and have some changes in 1.11:

$mysql_user
$mysql_pass

These need to be set to the user/pass values that have admin rights to MySQL. I needed to set them
to the account details I established when I installed MySQL.

A symptom of the problems I encountered was the "db_create" during the install process DID NOT CREATE
THE DATABASE. phpMyAdmin e.g. said "no tables in database". The subsequent "ALTER TABLE" statement later
reported "table 'tag_index' doesn't exist".


>$mysql_db = "asdf"; $mysql_db = "gelbooru";

Assuming that you created your database with the name "gelbooru".


>$site_url = "127.0.0.1/branches/0.1.10/0.1.10/"; $site_url = "localhost/gelbooru";
>$thumbnail_url

Using "localhost" for these two URLs will only work if you're going to access Gelbooru from localhost.
I'll be accessing my Gelbooru server from my Intranet: to do so, I needed to use the ip address of the
Linux machine.

E.g. $thumbnail_url = "192.168.111.1/gelbooru/thumbnails/"; Use the ip address of your box or the
machine name if possible. Hope the ip address doesn't change.

The symptom of this is as a poster mentioned in the Gelbooru forum: the Gelbooru page "didn't have CSS, and
looked like plain HTML". Also, the thumbnails did not appear. Looking at the page source in my browser, I
saw the thumbnail URL was "localhost/gelbooru/thumbnails/xxxxxx.jpg".


>And finally add, just before the "?>" at the end of the file:
It is not explained what the purpose of these changes are, and how to select values to use.

I *did* find a number of error messages in the Apache error.log. These settings, at least, fixes
some of those error messages:

>$lowerlimit = 20;
>$no_cache = false;

>error_reporting(0);
Might turn off all errors?


>10. If you don’t see any errors the installation went well! As the script suggests, you can now delete the c:\wamp\www\gelbooru\install folder.

Actually, I didn't see any errors, and the installation was utterly f*cked. Don't be hasty to delete the install
folder until you validate the database tables EXIST. This is easily done by trying to perform step 11: if that is
successful, THEN you can delete the install ...

I have a website that runs on 0.1.11 and I can't figure out how to make other users staff on the site.
