uploading photo's

[arnold]

when uploading photo's and the Maximum attachment image dimensions is leaving blank.
most of the images where displayed in the right orientation.

when setting the dimension to lets say 1024x1024 the uploaded images where resized but the orientation info is lost. so the images aren't display right.

You may not have the EXIF extension enabled. Check phpinfo and see if you can see mention of "exif" anywhere. If not, that functionality will need to be enabled.

 

[arnold]

You mean this Exif module ?
to me it is installed, but when resizing not used.

when resizing is off, 90% of the images are displayed fine.

 

[Chris D]

The very first step we do before we do anything is analyze the uploaded image which will store the EXIF properties internally until we're ready to use them. Even so, when we eventually come to transform the image, the EXIF based rotation is handled first, and then the resizing takes place.

If the rotation is not happening at all, then I agree with Andy that it could be that you do not have the exif functions available.

You'd actually be looking for a section such as this in phpinfo:



The list of authors isn't sufficient enough to confirm that it is available, enabled, a recent version etc.

If it is definitely the case that the resizing is happening before the EXIF rotation, and for some reason the internal data we store is being missed or lost somewhere, then I'd suspect that you have some add-on interfering with the process somewhere.

when giving at the command prompt
i don't see the module, and not in the phpinfo there is only 1 exif line. the one i posted here.

Yes. That would be the recommended action in the first instance.

I'm searching how to do this, we have an unmanaged server, so i should be able to do it myself

 

[arnold]

if someone would help me on this i would realy like that.

 

[AndyB]

Do you have cPanel?

 

[arnold]

Nope directadmin

Nope directadmin

Looks like DirectAdmin requires custom builds... so hopefully you are familiar with digging around at the command line via SSH.
The last link specifically shows an example of EXIF.

I dis find these links also, but i’m not that experienced to do it myself.
I ask oure hoster to alter these setings.

cPanel let's you do it in the panel itself. You would think that at the price they are charging for it that it would allow you to add custom modules via the panel itself without having to resort to custom builds.

You should have unlimited technical support even at the base monthly level of DA.
I've got a feeling your hosting provider (unless they are really good guys/gals) are going to tell you that's part of self-administration.

 

[arnold]

No they aren’t, for a small fee they will fix it.
It was oure choice to switch from a managed server with an expesive sla to this unmanaged server.

The provider we have is not the cheapesd, but they deliver good and fast service for a fair price.

after upgrading tot PHP 7.2 and installing EXIF all works fine.
i was running PHP 5.6 which gave some other little problems.
so this is solved.
