If I'm not mistaken, one is .htaccess and the other is config.php? You can use notepad to create them, then save them and upload them to your server. You may have to create .htaccess with another name on your computer, then change it to .htaccess (yes, <dot>htaccess) on your server.

Hi there! Just make two empty files :roll: (simple enough). Name one of them .htaccess and the other config.php.
You can make them in any text editor, but make sure they don't have a ".txt" extension on them (you can always upload them with the ".txt" and rename them afterwards if that's simpler).
Once you've done that, then you either run sh configure.sh if you have shell access, or follow the CHMOD instructions if you have FTP access, and then run the Configuration Wizard by going to http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/setup .
Let us know if you're still stuck!! :smile:

ok i tried what ya'll said now i get this message
Warning: Failed opening 'modules/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/modules/gallery/init.php on line 76
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fs_file_exists() in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/modules/gallery/init.php on line 80
i made the 2 files and uploaded them in to the gallery folder and made sure they were not .txt
so where i go wrong?

This is a new problem.
Does the file fs_unix.php exist? It should live in a directory called platform inside your gallery directory. If not, then you didn't upload your files properly, and need to make sure the files in your gallery directory match those in the original gallery.tar.gz file, and that they live in the correct sub-directories.

yes that file exsit
but i have no subfolders in my gallery
when i uploaded it to modules it didnt create 1 or have 1
do i need to make subfolders within gallery folder?

There should be several subdirectories, not all files in the same directory.
Something went wrong when you transferred the files. Unzip the files on
your local machine and not the directory heirarchy, it has to be the same
as on the webserver or it will not work.
I also believe there is mention of this in the FAQ which you should read
as well.

ok ive read and read
lets see if i got the steps right
1st d/l gallery
2nd unzip or extrct gallery in to a fold on local cpu
3then upload the folder or do i just upload the contains and not the folder ??

and i uploaded that folder to the module folder <--is this where i screwed up?
should i just upload the files i extracted and not the folder if so what directery do i upload the files to ?

I'd upload the whole thing from gallery to your modules directory.
BTW the user/pass you set up for me didn't work. :roll:

What you did seems correct, but it's possible your ftp client isn't uploading the contens of the sub directories. I'm not up on cute ftp

Davysfun,
You need to look into this <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=GalleryDocs&file=index&page=gallery1-install.faq.b.php#gallery1-install.faq.b.3" TARGET="_blank">FAQ B.3</A><!-- BBCode End -->

Warren, not to question you (but I will anyway! :roll:
I haven't seen anything this far in the post suggesting that running PHP as CGI is necessary, which is what FAQ B.3 talks about.

Ahh okay! :smile:
I'll take a look at your other post.

Here is what he's got going:
PHP v4.2.2 is OK
Safe Mode is enabled on this server.
Apache is not obeying your .htaccess file.
Magic quotes are on.
Either mod_rewrite is not installed or your .htaccess file is not enabled (see above).
I can't find NetPBM.
I can't find ImageMagick.
I can't find jhead.
He may need help understanding the server side directory structure for config wizard.
I know he does have some cgi-bin structure installed but I didn't look at it.[/]
