I've used G2 many times stand-alone. This is my first Drupal site. I installed the latest nightly builds of 6 and G2 including the Drupal embedding module. My stand-alone G2 is fine. And I've even sort of got it displaying within Drupal. But the paths are screwed up. The images don't display and none of the links work, they all take me back to the root. When I've tried to run the install on the module to reset the paths I get the white screen of death. I realize this is new stuff so I'm unclear if the problem is because it's a bug or because I'm a newbie and have missed something. I have a lengthy thread over at Drupal in the issue section where one very helpful person has been holding my hand. But we've come to a standstill. On recommendation I've adjusted memory in the .htaccess which didn't seem to help. You can see my non-embeded working install at http://evergreentandemclub.org/drupal/gallery2. I've even deactivated the embed module and removed it and reinstalled it however nothing changed. My server is running PHP 4 not 5 if that matters. I'd greatly appreciate some direction. Is there a config files somewhere where I can edit the paths? Is this simply a buggy release and I need to be patient? What should I do next? Thanks! |

I have exactly the same problem here. I have standalone Gallery working fine. I even have embedded Gallery working ok too, however attempting to go back into the install tab in the embedded gallery's setting page (/admin/settings/gallery -> install) results in a white screen of death. The only way I can ever get back into that screen, is to reinstall standalone gallery and uninstall and reinstall drupal gallery module. After doing this, I can get back into the settings tab and run through the embedded installation ONCE, and once only. Once I have done that, and got embedded gallery working, I can never go back to that settings tab without going through that whole process again.
Now, this wouldn't be a problem as I actually have embedded gallery working fine, however, I'm working on a dev machine and am pushing out my changes to a production box in preparation for launching this new website. Although I have embedded gallery working fine on m local box, when I push out my changes to the other machine, the paths become screwed up and the only way to fix it is to go into the settings page and redo the paths - which is currently impossible. I have tried adjusting these paths manually in the mysql database with no success. I wish the Drupal gallery module didn't store these paths in the mysql 'variable' table in as this makes database migration a pain in the ass - I've been using backup_migrate module until now with no problems, but the way gallery is storing it's information makes it impossible to just exclude it's data during a migration, since the mysql table it uses ('variable') is used by loads of other stuff - it would be much better if gallery kept it's own information in it's own table.
