Failed Uploads to Gallery
Every once in a while, a photograph will fail to upload to Gallery. In the past, I would edit them in Gimp and resend them and that fixed the problem, but I never figured out what was happening. This morning, suddenly about half a batch of photos failed. I was using Gallery Remote, so I tried the web upload and that failed, too. Nothing worked until I read a note on the upload screen that there’s a 7 MB file size limit. Doh!
A fix for that is outlined in the Gallery FAQ. I’m on DreamHost, so I followed those instructions. Unfortunately the server with the easy script was 503 (temporarily unavailable), so I had to use the manual directions. I also had to switch to PHP 5 FastCGI.
