Help with Login 404 Not Found error

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://balance.serveftp.net/gallery/albums (I don't think you will be able to navigate there because I haven't figured that part out yet)
Gallery version: 1.5.7
Apache version:2.2.3
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): PHP 5.2.1
Graphics Toolkit: ImageMagick
Operating system: Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) LAMP edition (
Web browser/version (if applicable): Firefox?

To start, I hope that you can help me. I've noticed there aren't many posts under the Gallery1 forums but I started with the basic one because I didn't want to have to configure a MySQL database in addition to figuring out my webhosting issues.

Anyway, I have correctly configured my Gallery (according to the configuration) and I can get to the above URL from within my own subnet (using the machine's IP), but when I click on login I've given a 404 error page. I have searched this forum, the Ubuntu forum and google but I cannot find an answer to this question. Is this because I haven't configured my machine with regards to webhosting? I have a URL all set up with DynDNS but I want to be able to login first before I move onto that step.

I can't even log in as Admin at this point. Am I not configuring a page correctly? Does htaccess need to be edited in some way? Should I provide move information? Any assistance that you can provide would be most helpful. I did my best to find information but it was difficult (bordering on impossible) to find cohesive information regarding installs on Linux, let alone ubuntu. Again, I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided.

Open your config.php, and set: $gallery->setConfig('baseUri', 'http://yourhost.com/gallery/main.php');
This overrides Gallery's auto detection of the domain name, and I found this to be a problem sometimes.

Worked for me at least...
