Gallery version: 1.5.3
PHP version: 4.2.2)
PHPInfo Link: http://www.liacs.nl/~jwalters/gallery/setup/phpinfo.php
Webserver: Apache 1.3.26
Activated toolkits:
Operating system: Linux
Toolkit: NetPBM

Problem:
Whenever I run the configuration wizard, gallery seems to work fine for one or two minutes at most. After that, the page "Gallery has not been configured!" suddenly appears again!

- In the wizard, I just update the URL's, paths and admin password. The rest is left default.
- .htaccess and cofig.php are chmod 777, so is the setup directory, so is the albums directory.
- The last step of the wizard gives no errors.
- The only 'serious' warning I get is that 'register_globals' is enabled on my server.

However, when I add a small foto to an album in the short minute everything works, the temp dir, the albums dir, .htaccess and config.php all stay completely empty. Where did the photo go I just uploaded which is actually visible??

Of course my main question is: What the ### is happening and how do I solve this??

Oh, I also tried this:
The last step of the configuration wizard displays php code with the settings. I copied/pasted it manually into config.php and added <?php and ?>. Now I get the contents of this file on top of every page without solving the problem :-(
