[NBLUG/talk] Gallery 1.4 installation trouble (php? apache? permissions?)

[Mark Street]

I just upgraded my gallery installation to the latest patch level without a 
hitch.

It looks like the error describes a session.php in 
the /misc/drupal-4.4.1/gallery directory.

I would go back and re-configure gallery to NOT use any of the CMS tools 
initially.  Get gallery working then work on adding the functionality to the 
CMS.

Put the installation in configuration mode
sh configure.sh

Visit http://localhost/gallery/setup/
Turn off embedded CMS functionality, save configuration.

Secure the installation again.
sh secure.sh

then visit your gallery installation.

Remember to make sure the .htaccess file is set in the gallery directory as it 
contains several important php and apache variables and directives.
