This is the 4th install of G3 I have tried (version 4) and I always get the same results -- it's doesn't work! My database and installs appear to go fine but when I enter G3 and try to do anything, including changing my passsword, I am greeted with "The requested page was not found. It may have moved, been deleted, or archived." errors. I can't even logout with the "page not found errors". I know other folks have installed on 1and1.com with php5 entries in .htaccess (which i have done). I sure would love to see or go to those sites or get the settings that make this work or both. Can any 1and1 folks post something. Currently, I have my G3 est version at http://webcam.szewczuk.net.

I've attached the login error which is pretty typical

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Somebody finally coughed up a 1and1 account I could test with and I was able to fix the problem in short order. Try the latest code, it should resolve this for you.

Still having problems, different errors but still can change password, logout, login as admin, select moldules etc. Here's what I've done so far:

1. downloaded Gallery 3 latest code: http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master and installed it over the Version 4. install OK, errors in selections.
2. dropped the database, rm -fr * of everything in gallery3, reinstalled only the the fix zip from above. Install OK but same outcome as #1.
3. dropped the database, rm -fr * of everything in gallery3, reintalled version 4 then overlaid fif zip. Install OK but same outcome as #1 and this is the current state.

I've attached the new screen error and /var/log/2009-06-05.log.php
On the "Something went wrong screen I did click on "OK.. tell me stuff!" and nothing happened

G3 is on http:// webcam.szewczuk.net
I will send you the admin password (it was assigned during install)

Thanks,
TomS

@tmszewczuk I think I've fixed all of these issues just now, can you try the latest code again? Thanks for testing!

Great news, tmszewczuk! If you can leave access around for me for a week or so that'd be great because I'm finding that other folks using the CGI sapi are having conflicting problems (so my fix works for you, but not for them). I'm going to try to do a fix that works for everybody but I need to make sure I have test environments that I can play with.

William --- I'm no expert and can only pass on what is currently working for me on 1and1.com with G2.3 and G3 beta

as you can see from the posts, I had 1and1.com trouble with G3 and invited the SF dev team in to diagnose and fix 1and1.com problems related to cgi. Besides getting the latest code (G2.3 or G3 Beta2) I had to make sure the following items were in place. Using SSH (putty) you should logon to 1and1 server to do these --

Gallery 3 (is definitely a work in progress and less mature than G2.3 but I like it's installation simplicity). I have both up and just testing G3 (which is getting hits)

If using G3 Beta2 make sure php.ini is resident in your gallery3 directory and looking something like this
display_errors = Off;
short_open_tag = 1;
register_globals = Off;
upload_max_filesize = 40M;
post_max_size = 120M;

Next, G3 builds a .htaccess file (again located in gallery3 directory) but you have to add these lines at the very top of this file
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
#

If using G2.3 (stable and mature)
Create a galery2/php.ini file with the following (# is ignored)
memory_limit:64M
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
#display_errors = Off;
#short_open_tag = 1;
#register_globals = Off;
#upload_max_filesize = 20M;
#post_max_size = 100M;

.htaccess gets created with the G2.3 install but add these 2 lines to the top of this file
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
#

Lastly, make sure you create MySQL database using phpadmin tools. It will create a 100mb database and you should probably prefix the G2/G3 tables with 'G2_ / G3_" (part of the G2/G3 install). The db create will give you the dbhost, dbname, dbuserid, dbpassword which are all needed for the G2.3 or G3 beta 2 installs.

If you decide on G2.3, setup inside the admin area can be alittle bit of a bear but very doable. G3 beta is, as mentioned earlier, much simpler. In Both cases, installation is pretty straightforward. G2.3 does have installation help available on SF documentation. I haven't checked G3 beta but I installed this literally in 5 minutes (after creating the db).

My G2.3 site is: http://webgallery.szewczuk.net
My G3 beta site is: http://webgallery3.szewczuk.net
My domain portal is: http://szewczuk.net

Please feel free to drop in and look around. I highly recommend downloading CoolIRIS 3D plugin for both G2.3 and G3 slideshows. I'm using Firefox 3.5.1
Hope any of this helps
