Photo Gallery Forums

I am working in the photo manage section, and from a photo album click on a thumbnail. I edited the photo (rotated it clockwise) then click on the 'back' link to take me to the main album again. There is an error:

This web page has a redirect loop
The web page at http://www.domain.com/photos/iv-admin/i ... lbum+name/

We need a link+login to your admin to check this. It could be something with the server.

I believe you have login to my admin, from an email I sent you last week.

As you believe it is a server issue, I have looked some more and found that under:
uploads/trains/20080619_mongolian_train24/
- this folder was uploaded via FTP - no problems

uploads/trains/trains/Chinese+Train+/

- this folder was created through admin. Looking at FTP, this folder does not exist on the server. This is the folder where I can not press the back button.

CWD /html/photos/uploads/trains/Chinese Train
550 /html/photos/uploads/trains/Chinese Train: No such file or directory

I think it is something to do with the spaces in the file name.

Do you know something more about this?

I am curious, why did you name your folder "Chinese+Train+"? Did you actually add the + characters, or do they represent spaces? If so, why is there any empty space after the "Train"? In any case, you should avoid + characters and even empty space characters in folder names. Why? Because your server will often use + in url as an alias for empty space, and in any case it may create errors. Furthermore, some servers simply throw errors on"+" characters in url regardless.

When creating folders from the Imagevue admin, we enforce no spaces and no standard latin characters. This to avoid server problems. You should name folders with multiple words, either with - or _. For example "chinese_train". Then, from the Imagevue admin, you can give a folder TITLE "Chinese Trains" which is stored in XML with any characters so there will not be any problems.

I made this name through the admin and I think the server added the + instead of a space. I tried to rename the folder Chinese Train #23 but this wouldn't hold, despite another folder named in the similar fashion. I certainly did not add the + on purpose.
