Here are some common problems faced by Picoplog users. Feel free to add your solutions here.

I get a parse error, unexpected T_STRING

You're probably trying to run Picoplog on PHP version 4. Picoplog requires version 5.

I get no images and check.php says something about mod_rewrite

You'll have to edit the .htaccess file. Follow these steps:

  • Open the file .htaccess with a text editor
  • Find the line #RewriteBase /picoplog
  • Uncomment by removing the #
  • Replace /picoplog with the correct URL path
  • Save the file

Images won't refresh

Clear the cache directory meta/cache on your server. As an alternative, point your browser to myphotoblog.com/clearcache. That URL is password protected: use the login & password specified in config.php.

mod_rewrite breaks when using a subdomain

Say you have a subdomain called picoplog.mydomain.com which redirects to the directory mydomain.com/picoplog. You'll need to edit the .htaccess file as outlined above. Simply replace /picoplog with the subdomain's base URL path, which is simply '/' (the root directory), instead of '/picoplog'.
