drupal - Gallery shuts down after mod_rewrite test

I have Gallery and Drupal working side by side and I want to combine them or intergrate them together. Its not until I access the modules section to enable mod_rewrite that the whole thing shuts down. I can't access anything. I've checked all over and have no clue as to how to fix this. I emailed help from my provider and he states that mod_rewrite is enabled but that I have to enable it on my side in my htaccess file. I'm clueless anyone have an idea on how to do this? Could this be causeing my problems?
Thanks

Well I have no problem setting the G2 up. It works seperate to the Drupal site. I want to intergrate it so that it looks like its part of the site. I get to the point where I am installing mod_rewrite. I run the test and it states it's a success. on the Apache server but after some consultation with the help staff they say that it is enabled on the server. I enable the module and then I get this warning. http://www.stiggys.ca/gallery2/. The whole thing just stops. After reading all the help on it I am under the impression that you need mod_rewrite to get the gallery to intergrate with Drupal. I don't have clean urls though and am not sure if this is a problem. I also get this warning on the website. "Unable to initialize embedded Gallery". I followed the directions as best as I could in installing it and only have the problem when I try to install the mod_rewrite module. I did an experiment where I copied the htaccess file into my root directory and I got the same server error. They are asking some of the more experienced guys for advice. Here is info from my htaccess file if it helps.

I can't logout either.

The requested URL /gallery2/v/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

- i don't think you need to activate url rewrite to make it work in drupal.

- and if you activate url rewrite, then do it when accessign g2 when it is already embedded. don't access g2 in standalone to activate / configure the rewrite module.

Thanks that fixed the problem of having to install my whole gallery program again. I still get "Unable to initialize embedded Gallery" though on every Drupal page. Could it be the Drupal module? I followed the directions exactly to try and embed it into Drupal but no luck. Are there modules that might conflict with Gallery like the image.module etc. That might be why it won't embed because something is already there?
Tomas

This was in the install file that came with the Drupal module
Note: To get the rewrite module working, you need to first configure and
use it with the standalone Gallery2 install. Once it's working there ***disable
all*** the rules except for the 'Show Item' rule and set its URL pattern to:
gallery/%path%

Then when you browse to http://your.site/gallery you should see short urls
inside drupal.

Crap I haven't figured out how to do use patches yet!
Tomas

Yes -- that's probably best anyway. Make sure the user you add in G2 is a Site Admin.

If you look at the patch file you'll see that it is a one line (2 character) change so you can add it manually.
