I'll tell the story from the beginning:

Earlier today I installed Apache 2 and php 4.2.2 (and perl, mysql python...)

I setup gallery and configured it, and it worked (sort of). I know that php doesnt work all that well with apache2, so I deleted gallery and installed apace 1.3.22 and php 4.1.1

I installed gallery, ran configure.bat and attempted to configure it. I was greeted with an error 400, bad request. I tried other php files in the the setup directory, and they all worked. I updated php to 4.2.3, and encountered the same problem. Again, all the php files in the setup directory but index.php worked. I encountered this error both in IE6 and Mozilla, so I doubt the problem is with the browser.

any help would be great, and i hope this inst a reposted problem (I did a search for it, though not comprehensive)

Thanks :smile:

This probably falls under FAQ C. If you delete setup/.htaccess it'll probably resolve your problem. But before you do that, you might want to check your Apache error log and see if there are any messages there that might help us sort out the problem.

Thanks, Bharat. Next time I will read the FAQ.
