take a look at the .htaccess file - there are instructions for removing the index.php from your URLs

it's a file in the root of your gallery directory.

I'm sorry I can't explain better, but in the root director of your gallery install, there is a file named .htaccess It's a hidden file (hence the . in front of it) and won't show in a normal directory listing. If you're on a unix/linux box, you can use ls -al in the directory and see the file. This file will need to be edited to uncomment out some lines (indicated in the file) to allow rewriting so that index.php is not in url.
Unfortunately, I can't offer much more assistance than this.

I don't think that's going to help you; if you can't find the file, you probably haven't made any changes to it and it shouldn't be causing any problems (e.g. that shouldn't have anything to do with your logo giving a 404 error).
I'm assuming that "giving me a no such page result" means that all of your pages are throwing 404 errors.
Can't really help you with that without being able to visit the actual site.

Right. With a url like:
www.mysite.com/gallery3/index.php/www.google.com
it is a bit confusing as there seems to be 2 sites there.

first up i sorted this issue out
secondly - apologies if my post was a bit confusing.
the answer was when you are adding links either on the page.html.php or the module that adds three links ('menu_links' i think it was called), i had to add 'http://' before the address. once i did this they worked perfectly.
Thanks again for your patience and help guys!

I have made improvments to the docs:

if you have better suggestions let us know.
