I accidentally lost the contents of the .htaccess file while URL Rewrites were enabled.

Now I can't get to "Site Admin" anymore after I login. The URL the link points to

/gallery/admin/?g2_return=blah

doens't exist. I'm guessing /admin/ is supposed to be an URL rewrite entry. How do I turn off URL Rewrites when Site Admin isn't accessible?

<b>EDIT</b>

Solved it by modifying the matching entry in the g2_Rewrite_Map table, then generated a new .htaccess file from Site Admin's URL Rewrite.

(also, you can go to README.html, in readme, there's a link to site admin that doesn't use the short url notation)

I have this same problem after upgrading from 1.0 to 2.01... the entire install seemed to go ok, no problems, but the link is off.

"the link is off"

that's not enough information to help you. you got to describe your problem in more detail.

else:
see the faq, search function of the forum, etc.

I have upgraded from 1.0 to 2.01.
I am following the upgrade instructions and logged in.
When I get to the part of clicking on Site Admin, the URL comes back as:

".../gallery/admin/?g2_return=http..."

I change it to ".../gallery/admin?g2_return=http..."

And seem to get to the right page (however having separate problems there).

I am assuming as well that the "/" between admin and g2... is not supposed to be there.

How can I fix this?

wrong.

please disable the url rewrite module.

FAQ: Images don't show up and the album / photo links don't work, what can I do?

ps: upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0.1 doesn;t make sense. it's either 2.0 to 2.0.1 (G2 version) or 1.0 to 1.0.0.1 (core module version).

Sorry, I meant installed and migrated.

I think I figured out what i did wrong in the steps.
I copies and renamed the gallery to g1
I should have just renamed to g1

so I upploaded g2 into gallery, which still contained the old files.

and the instructions in:
site admin -> import from G1
