there is something REALLY wierd going on with my install of galler 1.5 and i don't know what. i have successfully installed gallery twice on previous sites but i can't pinpoint the problem this time, though it looks like it should be really obvious - there is no formatting of any kind (and none of the skins work). as in, even in setup mode there were no tabs and everything seems to be stuck in some kind of plain text mode... any ideas?

thanks,
alizaweeza.

The same thing is happening on mine. I've never seen this after upgrading until now.

Based on getting a 403 trying to open the setup directory, I'd take a look at the permissions on the gallery folder and its subfolders to make sure they're readable by the httpd.

What if your permissions are correct and setup runs fine, yet you lost all formatting?

URL?
Also, if it doesn't look the same as the URL alizaweeza posted, I'd start my own thread with it. At the very least fill out the The following information is required to get an answer: form.

It's all good... I had an error on an edit that screwed up the css.

Sorry for the trouble.

where is there an error?? setup url is at http://photos.alizadesigns.net/setup/index.php and i have no problems getting there...

VirginiaNative , what was your error? everything i have checked seem fine (including permissions), and the setup runs ok as well - it just doesn't have any formatting either... if you could tell me what it was with you maybe that would help...

anyone else have any ideas otherwise?

Thanks!

alizaweeza, check http://photos.alizadesigns.net/skins/paint/css/screen.css which is the css file Gallery tries to load. It gives a 403 error, which means your permissions are wrong.

Your should probably chmod all the files in gallery/, including gallery/ itself to 644 - For some reason, unknown to me, some of your files have the wrong permissions. They should be fine if you just uploaded them to your host, so they might have some strange settings on their servers. On the other hand, most of your files seem to be correct.

Ok, start with chmodding the css/ directory, and all files in it 644, and see if that helps.

I have done this, and the setup now shows the tabs, but the gallery itself does not show skins or images (such as incons)...

Now I can't even open your site, so I have no idea what might be going on now.

And I still get a permissions denied message on your css files. Sorry, but something is very wrong with your setup.

I just went through this same drill. However, I was dealing with the issue in Gallery2 and fixed it without a reinstall. I had to chmod the <themes> folder and all subfolders to 755. Whalah@! (Also, double-check that all files within are chmod 644).
