Various server-related Troubleshooting
How to make the gallery faster?
If you using thousands of picture Imagevue is becoming filesystem demanding, especially with large image and folder arrays. The slowdowns can be alleviated by moving to a faster host, splitting images to more folders or using smaller images.

I’m getting error “could not mail”
We use php mail() function, no smtp or anything, simplest function. On some servers it might be disabled. Before posting about that issue please read:
Failed to write session data
This happens every so often, session data is some small info to identify user who is logged in. This is stored on server, in temp directory. But sometimes this is either misconfigured or just directory not created or unwritable. We can’t fix it, this should be forwarded to your hosting support.

Can’t upload files bigger than X Mb?
This restriction is set in php.ini in upload-max-filesize. If you don’t have access to php.ini, please consult your hosting provider about how to change it.
Upload and edit config doesn’t work
You probably have suhosin security module installed. Properly configured, it poses no problems for imagevue, but some settings can interfere with normal functionality. Applies only if your Diag > phpinfo mentions ‘suhosin’ somewhere.
When editing configs, _bottom_ save button still works. If uploader doesn’t work you have to disable suhosin, read on:
How to turn off suhosin and mod_security to get multiple-file uploaders to work?
You have to upload .htaccess file in your gallery root with the following:
Disable suhosin:
php_flag suhosin.simulation OnDisable mod_security:
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST OffIf .htaccess directives not working or display error 500, you are either trying to block extensions you don’t have installed (check diagnostics page), or this functionality is just disabled on your server.
Where can I find the .htaccess file (and other files) of imagevue (x2) to disable suhosin?
You just create file names ‘.htaccess’ in any text editor like Notepad. The only thing, on MacOS it’s better to create ‘htaccess’ file first (without dot), upload it and then rename to ‘.htaccess’.
