I have just installed version 1.4.3 of Gallery onto the server my site is on and i cannot view the index.php page....... this is what i get

Gallery/index.php wrote:
If you've finished your configuration but you're still seeing this page, that's because for safety's sake we don't let you run Gallery in an insecure mode. You need to switch to secure mode before you can use it. Here's how:

Unix with shell access
% cd /path/to/your/gallery
% sh ./secure.sh

Unix with FTP access
ftp> chmod 644 .htaccess
ftp> chmod 644 config.php
ftp> chmod 400 setup

Windows
C:\> cd \path\to\your\gallery
C:\> secure.bat

Then just reload this page and all should be well.If you experience problems, you can find help on the Gallery Help Page.

i have used the secure.bat a number of times, using both internet explorer and firefox. But i still get that page.

Please help if you can

Sorry if I ask/state the obvious but the secure.bat is for Windows servers only and your details above say you on Linux. Therefore I believe you need to be using the Unix instructions ~ I do just that via ftp on my web host as I do not have shell access.

HTH :)

You also can not run the file with your web browser. You have to run it from your shell access, or use the FTP instructions.

Iquil, look at the wrapper files in html_wrap - Also, look at the sticky posts in the customizations forums.
