First of all, before trying anything at all, please make a complete backup of your Showkase site in case anything goes wrong and you have to reinstate your files at a later date. As the Showkase site is completely self-contained within the Showkase folder (and Showkase does not use any database entries), it means that if you try something and it does not work, you can simply delete the Showkase folder from your web server, reinstate the original Showkase folder from your backup copy and then try something different.

The first thing I would try is to login to your Showkase admin and run 'System -> Setup' (as suggested in the Changing Your Installation Directory support section).
If this does not work, then try 'System -> Repairs'. This has helped at least one user that I know of whose Showkase site address changed and where 'System -> Setup' did not help.
If neither of the above suggestions work, then I would certainly try manually editing the paths in the '_showkase/showkaseconfig.ini' file (although hopefully this will not be necessary).

As well as selecting the checkboxes in the 'Multi-size Images' section, make sure that the 'Max width' and 'Max height' values are high enough within the upload module settings (when uploading images for your gallery) to accommodate your large image dimensions.

After selecting an image from your gallery to be used as the representing thumbnail on the gallery index page, be sure to click 'Update' and 'Publish' and then try clearing your browser's cache after making any changes to ensure that your browser is fetching and using the most recent files from your web server.
Also, if you are not already using the current version of Showkase (v1.3.2), try upgrading to see if this helps.
Instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

You can always download a fresh copy of Showkase (for example when a new version is released or if you lose your Showkase zip file) using the download link from your purchase email.
The only reason to purchase a second copy of Showkase would be if you plan to install Showkase on two separate domains.
As you are using Showkase only on one domain, please email me your transaction details (from your purchase emails) and I will pass on the information to the correct department who will be able to refund you for your second purchase.

As you were able to install Showkase on your original web server (before the move) but cannot install it (using the same files) on your new web server, the problem is certainly likely to be related to your new web server (possibly a PHP configuration setting that has been disabled by your host).
If you were to allow me FTP access to your web server, I would be able to investigate further and hopefully determine the cause of your problem.
If you are agreeable to this, please email me back with your FTP login details (host name, username and password).
Thank you.

(For any other users who are reading this forum thread and are unable to install Showkase, the first thing to try would be to install and run the Showkase Server Compatibility Test to check that the web server has the basic functionality required by Showkase.)

Edit:
If you create a file called 'phpinfo.php' with the following code:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

... upload it to the root directory of your web space and let me know when you have done this, I can take a look at the output of the file (just by opening the file from your web server in a browser) and it might be enough to determine the cause of the problem.

Juicebox and SimpleViewer have both been updated to address the new SSL Flickr API requirements.
Showkase should hopefully be updated (with the new versions of Juicebox and SimpleViewer) sometime within the next day or two.

In the meantime, you can manually upgrade your existing Showkase installation with the new versions of Juicebox and SimpleViewer by downloading Juicebox and SimpleViewer individually and following the 'Installing a Pro Viewer' instructions here.

Flickr have recently made a change to the way that API calls (which both Juicebox and SimpleViewer) must be made. Please see here for further details.

This issue has been already been addressed in the latest releases of both Juicebox and SimpleViewer and a new version of Showkase (with the new versions of the image viewers) will be released very soon.

In the meantime, you can upgrade your Showkase installation by downloading the latest versions of Juicebox and SimpleViewer and following the 'Installing a Pro Viewer' instructions here.
Even if you a not a Pro user, just download Juicebox-Lite and SimpleViewer-Standard and follow the instructions using the 'jbcore' and 'svcore' folders from these packages.

The problem seems to be that when you go to vita-taylor.com it displays the s97231701.onlinehome.us/frankase/index.php page.
This will not work due to the paths used within Showkase.

vita-taylor.com should redirect/forward to just s97231701.onlinehome.us and then the Showkase site should display correctly at vita-taylor.com/frankase/.

It is not possible to display the Showkase site at the root of vita-taylor.com because the Showkase site is not at the root of s97231701.onlinehome.us.

You say that you have "set the destination of vita-taylor.com to blank" but have you tried setting it to s97231701.onlinehome.us?

If you would like to be able to view the Showkase site at s97231701.onlinehome.us instead of s97231701.onlinehome.us/frankase then please see the Showkase Home Page support section here.
Maybe this will help.

It looks like vita-taylor.com is currently pointing towards s97231701.onlinehome.us/frankase.
It should be pointing towards just s97231701.onlinehome.us instead.

You should then be able to access the gallery by going to vita-taylor.com/frankase.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to have the shared image's thumbnail displayed in the pop-up share window due to limitations imposed by Facebook on what data can be passed via their share URL. Only one thumbnail can be used per web page. (The shared link will still point towards the correct image within your gallery, though.)

The image used in the pop-up share window can be set using an Open Graph og:image <meta> tag in the <head> section of your web page, such as the following:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.example.com/images/thumbnail.jpg" />

In order to choose an image for use in your gallery page's pop-up share window, 'Edit' the gallery page and upload the image you wish to use on the 'Upload' tab and then 'Update' and 'Publish' your site.
An og:image tag will be automatically generated on the gallery page.

Perhaps, but leaving the Pro options exposed allows Standard users to see what is available to Pro users and to set up Pro galleries in preparation for upgrading the core image viewer files. Pro options will be applied to the gallery XML files immediately and will take effect as soon as the Pro image viewer is in place.

Sorry about the link. I have now corrected it in my post above.

All Juicebox-Pro options are available under both Boma and Kosel themes (there are no Juicebox-Pro restrictions under any theme).

First of all, try clearing your browser's cache to ensure that your browser is fetching and using the most recent versions of your gallery files.

If this does not help, then check to see if your gallery has the Juicebox badge/link in the lower-right corner. If it does, then your gallery is a Juicebox-Lite gallery and will need to be upgraded to Juicebox-Pro before Pro configuration options (such as sharing options) become active.
Instructions for 'Installing a Pro Viewer' and upgrading existing galleries can be found here.

If you continue to experience difficulties, then please post the URL to your gallery so that I can take a look for myself and help further.

I am not sure what might have caused such a problem (especially knowing that everything has been working OK up to now).
Has your web host changed anything lately (such as PHP configuration settings) which might have caused the problem?

Unless something has happened with your web server, it is unlikely that you will have lost any of your pages. (The files should not have been deleted unless you or your web host have deleted them.) Check your Showkase file structure to see if the folders corresponding to the pages you have created are still there (in your root Showkase directory).
As long as they are still there, I would take this opportunity to make a backup of your entire Showkase directory just in case anything else goes wrong.

First of all, try installing and running the Showkase Server Compatibility test. If your web host has changed anything which would result in your web server no longer having all the functionality required to run Showkase, the Server Compatibility Test should hopefully pick it up.

If all tests pass, then try reinstating all the core Showkase files as if you were upgrading to a new version.
Instructions on how to do this can be found in the 'How to Upgrade' section on the Upgrading Showkase support page.

Hopefully this will resolve your problem.
