Didn't disable URL Rewrite before migrating servers...

Silly question to which I'm fairly certain that I know the answer...

I had to quickly migrate hosts a few months ago, and I of course did not read the guide on migrating gallery beforehand. I had URL Rewrite enabled and did not uninstall before archiving all of my gallery data. Is there any way to get gallery running on the new server (ie disable URL Rewrite without the Gallery GUI)? Or am I just going to have to admit defeat and reupload everything into a new gallery install?

So you're rewriting the /admin URL? :) When we get this fixed, turn that off so you can always at least log into Site Admin.

I think this FAQ shows how to manually disable that:
FAQ: I enabled mod_rewrite, but it's not working, and now I can't get back to disable it - how else can I do this?

I set rewrite to 0 but I'm still unable to login.
This particular iteration was one where I created a fresh install of gallery and imported my old gallery data and mysql tables. Doomed to fail. I think I'm just going to re-upload everything from scratch.

Try renaming your .htaccess so Apache isn't trying to parse it.
