Hello. I am using Dreamhost as a server. I installed Gallery 2 using their "one-click" installation. I am not a programmer and have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a photographer trying to start my own website. The first step in installing Gallery 2 is to "authenticate." I'm supposed to upload a file to my directory. I have no idea what this means. Can anyone help me? I looked in my Dreamhost account and I don't see anywhere for me to upload a file to my directory. I can't even find my directory! If anyone out there is able to help me, I'd much appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

you need to create a new file in your gallery2 directory called login.txt and add the code supplied to login.txt.

Certainly your hosting control panel allows for file uploads or file creation and editing.

If this is way over your head, you can hire one of us to setup your gallery for you.

We can even make it look like your current site.
