Self-hosted assets not working

Christoph

Hi,
I've downloaded the assets and unpacked/copied them to _files/assets into my gallery folder. After that I assigned them in my index.php, but all I get when loading the gallery is a white backgound with a black circle ;-). If I remove the path, everything is fine. I don't really need the functionality of the self-hosted assets, but I like the idea of being independent from other servers.

Best regards,
Christoph

Just for reference, you should never be editing index.php for configuration changes. You should have a files _files/config/config.php where you can change options.

Self hosted assets are definitely working, but I can't see from here what's wrong on your side. Open browser "developer tools > network", reload the page, and you will see what paths Files gallery is trying to load, and why it fails.

Are you using assets that match your Files gallery version? Do you have a link so I can check? I can't diagnose from here without seeing what's wrong.

Christoph

Thank you for your reply! I didn't have in mind to just edit the config.php. I'll do some test later.

This is what I've got from the development tools:

On my webspace everything looks good:

Christoph This is what I've got from the development tools:

This is something with your host. I found the file here:
https://nachtexpeditionen.de/alben/_files/assets/files.photo.gallery@0.7.0/js/files.js

It returns blank page and 403 forbidden. The file is definitely there, but your host is denying access and trying to add some "domain parking" junk:

Just to be sure it's there, you can try to change the file name, and if the file truly does not exist, your server would return this instead:
https://nachtexpeditionen.de/alben/_files/assets/files.photo.gallery@0.7.0/js/NOPE.js

Either your topmost website https://nachtexpeditionen.de/ contains some .htaccess rules that is affecting these files specifically, or this is simply a flaw with your hosting. Or maybe something with permissions? (doubtful) Ask them! My point is, you know it's there, you have the web path, and it's needs to be able to load ... Files can't load it if it can't be accessed by URL for some reason.

Just shows how it's beneficial to run the CDN version in most cases 🙂

Thank you very much for your inspection! I agree to you that running the CDN version is beneficial. It seems that my provider uses a domain parking mechanism even if the webspace is used. I will have a look on this later.

Best regards,
Christoph
