I just noticed that the mod_rewrite plugin was not enabled for the gallery, so I set it up and activated it.
As soon as I did so, all pictures in the gallery stopped displaying. If I turn off mod_rewrite, same deal.

Out of interest, when I was setting it up, it asked for the absolute path to the htaccess file.
Now, my gallery's root folder is /files, not /gallery2/g2data or some such. However, if I entered /<path>/files it did not work, I needed to enter /<path>/gallery2 (The path to the G2 install). Is this OK?

Apache mod_rewrite is working fine BTW.

Not so urgent now, I fixed this by uploading a replacement copy of my gallery2 folder.

Out of interest, not only did this issue break the images, but it also caused all of the links (Activate/Deactivate, Uninstall, Delete) to disappear on the plugins page, so I could not even disable mod_rewrite through that menu.

I managed to solve this by un-bridging G2 from Joomla, THEN enabling mod_rewrite, then re-enabling the bridge
