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):
Gallery version: 1.5.9, This version of Gallery was released on 09/16/08.
Apache version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian)
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): PHP v5.2.6-5
Graphics Toolkit: netpbm 2:10.0-12 (Debian)
Operating system: Linux (Debian testing)
Web browser/version (if applicable): Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092816 Iceweasel/3.0.3 (Debian-3.0.3-2)

I just installed Gallery and everything works fine. I can create folders, I can upload images, thumbnails and smaller versions of the images are created, and the pages in the browser look like expected.

But a tiny issue is missing: the images itself. What I get is a frame of the size of the image, which can be the original image or a downsized version including thumbnails and highlights. Inside the frames the caption of the picture is shown.

I would like to see the images. What is wrong?

TIA,

Holger

I guess you did a look into the FAQ?

Yes, I did. And I did it again before I'll began to type this reply. Help me. 2.8 looks fine, but there are no "broken image icons", when I visit Gallery. There are empty frames in the size of the images.

In other words: Gallery knows exactly the dimensions of the pictures, but does not display them.

You are as close as one can be.
Its just that Firefox does not show broken Image icons.

Verfy once again, that the URL to your albums folder is correct.

Of course you were right. A bloody typo, which I discovered while looking into apache's access logs.

Album directory was /var/www/gallery/albums

Gallery URL was http://nr152/gallery

Albums URL was http://nr152/albums

That did not work, of course.

Thanks a lot!

But, just for curiosity, why is it necessary to enter the Albums URL? Shouldn't get the software this information from the "Album directory" value?

Hi Holger,

the album directory is an absolute path on your server.
/home/jens/albums
/usr/www/vhosts/holger/public_html/albums

How could i extract the url?
