Hi. Ive had Gallery 1.3.1 installed here, working find on XP. All dirs, albums etc work perfectly. I have now extracted the tarball on my hosts server (bsd, apache). The install works fine and I create all the settings correctly as far as I can tell based on what is in my local setup. The problem is that when creating albums the albums get created in the gallery/albums correctly but the url to the album on the setup page does not have gallery/albums/albumname but just gallery/albumname, even though in the config the Gallery Url is http://www.servername.com/dir1/gallery and the album dir is http://www.servername.com/dir1/gallery/albums. any ideas? hints? Thanks |

Hi Craig.
Is this actually causing an error? You seem to be reporting normal behaviour.
Provided you have mod_rewrite running (which it seems you do), if you enter the URL:
http://www.servername.com/dir1/gallery/my_album
then gallery will display my_album, regardless of where the album is physically located. In other words, you don't type in the exact pathname of your albums directory to get to that album.
What's really happening:
In reality, mod_rewrite secretly converts the my_album part of the URL to view_album.php?set_albumName=my_album, and view_album.php is just in the plain old gallery directory. So what you see (or type) isn't always what you get :smile:
Hope that helps (let me know if otherwise!)
