solved Can't Upload to Gallery

When I attempt to upload a picture to the gallery I get this error:

A system level error was encountered trying to validate the form values: error: Internal Server Error

I found out by trial and error if I disable the module "Gallery Image EXIF" the gallery works fine.

So I guess the question is now - what's up with the "Gallery Image EXIF" module?

A system level error is some issue that the server is having. The first place to check is the server's error logs to see if it can tell us what the error was.

Sometimes is related to permissions, like the server is trying to write somewhere but doesn't have permission.

See if you can locate the error log and paste what it says.

OK - These errors have many repetitions in the error log.

That last one is the issue, the others are just notices or warnings.

Its saying that you do not have EXIF module installed in your PHP.

Are you able to alter your php.ini file to turn it on for your server?

There is a note on the docs too:
http://php.net/manual/en/book.exif.php

Hi Michael,

I know where php.ini is in my cpanel, and my friend runs the server. So armed with that knowledge, we should be able to sort it out.

Thanks for your time...

I just uploaded a new release of the Image EXIF module that now checks for the EXIF functions to be enabled in PHP in the "Server Check" so you'll see if the module is supported.

Hope this helps!

Cool... you guys are on the ball - I'll give you that -

Hi Brian,

I installed the update, and re-enabled the module.

On system check the warning is given - fail EXIF Image functions are not installed in PHP

So your update appears to be working perfectly. Galleries continue to work even with the unsupported module enabled. The help file is linked to the warning, all good.

Right on - sounds good.

Thanks!
