How to install Gallery for dummies! Hey J Knudsen - Help!
« on: January 26, 2004, 10:32:04 PM »
I just followed the instructions to the letter and installed the gallery program from Jesper Knudsen's instrustions at: http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_13.htm

I get a couple of warning messages that a linux newbie like me can't figure out how to fix.

1.  Apache is not obeying your .htaccess file. Try entering the following into your web server's httpd.conf file:

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html>
   AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>
         

2.  Error: albumDir: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/albums exists, but is not writeable by the webserver user. Try:
chown -R www /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/albums

or if that doesn't work:
chmod -R 777 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/albums

. Also make sure that if you have an open_basedir restriction then this tmp directory should be under the open_basedir path
Error: Missing value: Temporary directory!

---------------

I followed the instructions and used chown and chmod for the directory but I still get the error.

Have you checked out Dan's how-to
http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/gallery-howto.html
I got gallery working by a mixture of both Jesper's & Dan's how-to.

The first things you need to do is create a custom template for Apache (in Dan's how-to)

Not sure on the second error but check you paths and if you're not too sure run
chown -R www:www .  (including the full stop)
from the html directory
