I made the blank text file called .htaccsess i uploaded it to my server and it doesnt show up in the direcotry so i cannot chmod it!
I tried making a file with a diffrent name then chmoding it and then re-naming it and it still didnt work!!!

I just get this
Error: You must create empty file .htaccess and chmod it 777 before proceeding. See documentation for more details.

Also It tells me my gallery/tmp file does not exist

Please help, what do I do ???
James.

Short answer: .htaccess is a hidden file, so it may not show up on your ftp client or in shell unless you tell your ftp client to show hidden files.

From the shell:
ls -al .htaccess

will list the file.
