I have been having a series issues with a number of websites recently, all using MaxiGallery. It feels like the host made some changes as it happened to several sites at the same time but so far I have had no luck with getting them to figure out what’s going on.
In the meantime, I am running my own tests and have made a complete reinstall of one of the sites.
However, I am now getting a message "Default language file is missing!" in place of some thumbnail images that should be coming from MaxiGallery. Also, the MaxiGallery "Manage Pictures" button is not available on the website, even though I am logged into the manager.
Can anybody please urgently point me in the right direction of what I can do here?
Thanks!

Have you covered all of the basics:
* ensure all files were uploaded properly, none are missing or half-uploaded etc
* file permissions are set properly
* check the error log for additional pointers
* cleared cookies and cache before logging in
Thanks for your suggestions. I have since found that a few of the necessary files didn’t transfer during upload so I have now replaced them and the error message is gone.

I have lately begun to upload the .zip file and unzip it in place on the server. That avoids not only the lengthy upload times but also eliminates the tendency to skip or corrupt some of the multitudinous small files involving TinyMCE and a bunch of the other add-ons, especially the Javascript apps.
Hi Susan - I feel a bit silly but I have tried to do that before but couldn’t make it unzip. I use Filezilla. Any tips? Thanks!

It depends on your server. Using a CPanel system you can unzip it from their file manager. If you have SSH access you can unzip it from a shell. If you have the zip PHP extensions you can write a quick script to unzip it. Or you could use a shell_exec() command if your server allows PHP to execute shell commands.
<?php
$unzip = shell_exec("unzip filename.zip");
?>
or
<?php system('unzip zipFileName.zip'); ?>
