Hi
I tried to update from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 but had no luck, nothing happened. I tried to poke around and ended up with a 500 error. So I decided to backup and start with a fresh install.
I uploaded the files to the server plus the var folder made sure that the files were chmod 777.
I tried to edit the short flat according to this : http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:FAQ#I_get_an_error_500_when_I_visit_my_Gallery_3_install_for_the_first_time but no joy.
I have followed these steps to the letter : http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:User_guide:Gallery3:Installing_and_upgrading#Upgrading
When I go to http://www.woollypigs.com/galleries I get a 500 error. When I look in my error log (no the one in var/log) I see this :
[Thu Oct 11 08:47:01 2012] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xx] Premature end of script headers: index.php
Have no clue what that means.
The very last log entry on var/logs is here, before it went wrong :

Am I right that I have to set my .htaccess file up like this? To have gallery3 to run in the galleries folder aka www.woollypigs.com/galleries
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /galleries
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?kohana_uri=$1 [QSA,PT,L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?kohana_uri=$1 [QSA,PT,L]
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*) $1 [QSA,R,L]
</IfModule>
Do I need to change the .htaccess file in my root folder (where I run a wordpress blog) I know this have worked before but now for the life of me I can't get it to behave.
I just had a poke around while typing this I found that if I edit my root .htaccess to have RewriteEngine Off and my /galleries .htaccess to have RewriteBase / (not /galleries) I get the page a wordpress but not a gallery3 page.
Any pointers ?
Sorry for rambling, it is getting late and I'm confused 
Thanks

Anywoo I managed to get it back to work again, after playing around .htaccess. Though the funny thing is that I downloaded and installed 3.0.4 on the server, but I get this error - A newer version of Gallery is available! Upgrade now to version 3.0.4 (remind me later) Go figure.

It may be useful to post more info on what htaccess conflict caused the error and more info on the solution (for anyone else that runs into this issue and find the thread).

You are right
After many different set up where I either got an 500 error or the blank galleries page in wordpress. I ended up with this in the .htaccess in my root folder.
# Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
RewriteEngine Off
SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php index.html
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And this in the .htaccess in the /galleries folder where Gallery 3.0.4 (I know I downloaded that version)

# inside the script itself. For hosts that don't have .htaccess

# You can use the mod_rewrite Apache module to get rid of the
# "index.php" from your Gallery 3 urls. Uncomment the block below

# ============= ====================
# http://example.com/gallery3 RewriteBase /gallery3
# http://example.com/~bob/photos RewriteBase /~bob/photos
# http://gallery3.example.com/ RewriteBase /
#
# Then just use your Gallery 3 without the index.php in the url.
#
# NOTE: future upgrades of Gallery 3 will overwrite this file! If you
# want these changes to be persistent, talk to your system admin about
# putting this block into your Apache config files.
