The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful): http://www.malachfamily.com/gallery
Gallery version: 1.5.4
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): 4.3.11
Graphics Toolkit: ImageMagick
Operating system: Linux server (deluxe account hosted by Godaddy)
Web browser/version (if applicable):

I'm creating a gallery site on my Godaddy Linux-operated server. I created an albums directory in my root directory and chmod'd it to 777, but the configuration wizard still can't locate it. No problems finding the /tmp directory - just /albums. What do I need to check?

Thanks!!

How did you greate you albums folder ?

via FTP ?
Is it at the same level as Gallery is ?

try entering this as the path to your albums folder:
/home/content/m/a/l/malachfam/html/albums

This post was a lifesaver for me. I was getting the same problem.

I also found this script in an FAQ that helped me solve the problem

<?php
print getcwd();
?>

In my case, this confirmed that Mr Tim was dead on right, but it will also solve the problem on ANY server / hosting company.

Thanks for the great product and support, all!
