---- In the Locations & URLs tab, it asks for a temporary directory. I assume from the examples that it's supposed to be on my system, not on the remote server, but I've tried all the variants I could think of for all the temp folders on both my hard drives, and it keeps telling me they don't exist. I've tried creating a directory on the server and inserting the address for that, and it tells me that doesn't exist, too. I don't know whether I'm just typing the location incorrectly or what, but I've tried everything I can think of. These are what I have tried: c:\windows\temp, d:\windows\temp, c:\temp, \temp, file:///c:/windows/temp, and all those in quotations, and with the slashes facing the opposite directions (backslashes disappear from the type in the error message so I thought maybe that was the problem), and then some attempts at creating a folder on my site and linking it there. I'm sure it's just something stupid I'm not seeing. Especially since I know next to nothing about codes and computer languages and stuff (this installation has already been next to impossible for me and now I'm just completely stuck). This is the error I keep getting (with the underlined text matching whatever else I try to use for the location): /* Version */ /* Features */ /* Constants */ |

It's actually looking for one on the server. Try /tmp.

All right! It seems to have accepted that. But now it's telling me this:
/* Constants */
$gallery->app->galleryTitle = "Gallery";
$gallery->app->useIcons = "yes";
$gallery->app->skinname = "suit";
$gallery->app->uploadMode = "form";
Error: // Missing value: Album directory!
$gallery->app->tmpDir = "/tmp";
$gallery->app->photoAlbumURL = "http://winonanelson.com/gallery";
$gallery->app->albumDirURL = "http://winonanelson.com/albums";
Error: // Missing value: Thumbnail image!
the instructions say to leave the first of those empty, and the other one doesn't say it's required.

You need an album directory. Based on what you entered before you'll want /kunden/homepages/46/d94445324/htdocs/albums

It said that one doesn't work. That was what was there before, and it gave me this message (as it did just now when I re-entered it):
/* Constants */
$gallery->app->galleryTitle = "Gallery";
$gallery->app->useIcons = "yes";
$gallery->app->skinname = "suit";
$gallery->app->uploadMode = "form";
// Error: Directory /kunden/homepages/46/d94445324/htdocs/albums does not exist. Please create it.
$gallery->app->tmpDir = "/tmp";
$gallery->app->photoAlbumURL = "http://winonanelson.com/gallery";
$gallery->app->albumDirURL = "http://winonanelson.com/albums";

Ahh... missed that...
Tried /homepages/46/d94445324/htdocs/albums ? If you have shell access you can just cd into the correct directory and hit cwd and paste in what it tells you (assuming, of course, you've made an albums directory and chmoded it to 777).
