Hello everybody. As a long time Gallery 2 user I'm decided to set up an all new Gallery 3 server as a virtual machine. I want to store the photos on P:, which is a mapped network drive. My objective is to store the photos outside of the VM on my network storage device. The database, PHP, Apache, and Gallery 3 are all to be stored in the VM. My problem is that when the Gallery Installer starts, it says: Photo Storage We've found a place to store your photos: C:\Apache2.2\htdocs\gallery3/var/ I want to store it in P:/ right from the get go. The field is not modifiable. What can I do to override this? Thanks |

Windows is not supported.

networked drives have been known to have performance implications.

Dave, I was planning to use a "network drive" as a bridge to the virtual machine's file system. Are you saying that even this is a problem? I don't know how else to store the pictures outside of the VM.
BTW, I will create a Linux VM instead. Which distro do you recommend?
