Using 2.2.4 and upgraded from 1.5
Everything worked very well but when I enable G1->G2 Mapping I get errors on that and on URL Rewrite 404 file not found.
If I try and save after just enabling g1->g2 mapping it says "an error occurred while trying to save your settings" and there are error icons on both g1->g2 mapping and 404 file not found.
If I disable 404 file not found, I get " An error occured while trying to save your settings
Cannot write to the .htaccess file" With no error on g1->g2 mapping and the not installed icon on 404 file not found.
Any ideas? I can not view the images on my page now, but I can while messing with the settings.

To get the g1-->g2 url mappings working, you should first enable the UrlRewrite module via the g2 site admin, and verify that its tests don't report any errors.

I have done that. This is the result of the test
" Gallery .htaccess file

Testing if Gallery can write to the .htaccess file.

Error
Please make sure Gallery can write to the existing .htaccess file

chmod 666 /home/matoo/public_html/gallery/.htaccess

"

I checked the permissons for that file and It should be able to write to it.

Did you run that command? Can you confirm what the permissions are? You can rerun the test, and it should pass.
