X3Photo Gallery Forums

Honestly, this is so difficult to diagnose with a self-hosted, non-standard PHP server running on Raspberry Pi, that I can't even view from here.

I'm trying to install X3 latest version on my new Raspi 5 with "Dietpi"  However the web installer does not work. I can start the script and on the 2nd page
it stops and complains about being not able to download the necessary files.

Well, it basically means PHP Curl failed on your server, without giving any specific reason. You would need to diagnose the curl function directly, it just doesn't work on your server.

Any advise would be appreciated
Tks

Not something I can tell you, and I don't think it's even directly related to X3. Just search for this on google:

You might as well start by uploading files manually. If you need full functionality, you need to make sure your server is setup and capable of standard PHP functionality. I can't resolve that from here.

About the forever loading, you would need to check in developer tools and check any errors returned by javascript, but could easily be related to one of the same issues above.

I can't remote-diagnose a self-hosted Raspberry Pi installation any better unfortunately.

Great, as long as it's working, you don't really need diagnostics ...

This is related to rewrite, which are assigned in the .htaccess file (assuming this is Apache server?). So it looks like either the server does not support .htaccess or does not support mod_rewrite or it's not Apache. I can't see that from here. Check your page /?diagnostics.
