Dear Gallery Folks:

I have searched through the forums and while I see similar symptoms, I don't believe any solutions are appropriate for me. When I try to upload into the members directory (protected by iBill) I get:
"Enter username and password for realm Password Protected Pages
on host www.myhost.com:80
Authentication Scheme Basic"

No uid/pwd information I provide helps. When I cancel out it gives me a message:
Gallery Remote can find no protocol implementation at the URL
http://myhost.com/members/gallery/
Check with a remote browser that http://www.myhost.com/members/gallery/
gallery_remote.php is a valid URL.

If you provide me an email address I can email you the URL, pwd, etc.

Thanks is advance for your help.

-Doug

Thank you for your reply. I have fixed my problem but as a developer you may find my reply interesting.

Upon initiating uploading, the applet invoked a login (scrn capture enclosed) that wouldn't take the website login or the Gallery login. In the end I never did figure out where this authentication challenge was coming from.

Before I wrote you I tried the following:

I tried adding a line to the client hOSTS file with IP address - no luck

I tried moving gallery_remote.php and gallery_remote2.php to a non secure area and changed paths appropriately - no luck.

I attempted to use relative paths but the config.php file had big red warnings saying not to do this -- so I didn't.

After reading how annoyed you guys get after getting posts from users who don't read or try to help themselves I set off again to try to figure it out. I dared to try the relative paths again and it worked :D

Happy Ending.

Thanks for the details, it will likely help other users later on!

Doug,

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I'm following you. Do you mean use relative URLs in config.php? Or actual relative paths for the files, or both?

Thanks,

Frank

Well, it wasn't relative URLs in config.php....
