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.dreadfest.com/gallery
Gallery version:1.5.10
Apache version:1.3.29
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):5.2.6
Graphics Toolkit:Imagemagick
Operating system:OpenBSD 4.4
Web browser/version (if applicable): Firefox3/linux,

hey there....

I just moved my gallery installation to a new box I set up, and it went almost
perfectly. The one thing that does not work is uploading pictures, and in
a very strange way. I log in as admin, the mini java app starts up fine,
but as soon as I press upload, it logs me out and fails to upload the file.
Similar behaviour with gallery remote: as soon as it goes to get the list of
albums, I'm logged out and it fails to retrieve any albums. By logged out,
I mean that it seems to change me from "admin" to "EVERYONE" automatically.
Form based upload fails as well, though I still remain logged in.

Any ideas about what might cause this behaviour?

have fun....

I think I figured it out - the tmp directory wasn't chmod 777, just 755.
Now that it's 777, it seems to be much happier.

have fun....
