- You can copy and paste a lot of the required information from "Site Admin" -> "Maintenance" -> "System Information" if your G2 is up and running.
Gallery version (not just "2"): 2.1.1
PHP version (e.g. 5.1.6): 5.2.17
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ):
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33): 2.2.23
Database (e.g. MySql 5.0.32): 5.1.73-cll
Activated toolkits (e.g. NetPbm, GD):
Operating system (e.g. Linux):
Browser (e.g. Firefox 2.0):
I must change the name of the directory that Gallery is installed in.
I tried just renaming the directory on the server, but that's a no go.
I have looked in config.php and see no reference to this directory by name,
although it is in the .htaccess file, which also tells me not to change anything.
Installation is g2data outside of root.

Is there an easy way to do this?
thank you

If I deactivate URL Rewrite from
site admin/modules
then change the directory name on the server
Will I be able to get back into site admin to turn URL Rewrite back on?
Sorry to be so dense,
I haven't worked with Gallery in a very long time and don't remember much of anything.
thank you

Yes. the url will change when you rename the directory.
Sometimes you have to manually delete the .htaccess in gallery's root directory.

I can log into site using the new directory path
I go to activate URL rewrite and get a screen identical (with the new directory folder exception) as what was there before,
but the red x does not go away, and I don't get the tabs across the top saying:
Rules SetUp and Test
So it is not activated, but the tests are as before success and a warning (but that was there all along)
Now what?
help
