The company that my server runs on (hostonce.com) doesn't allow .bat files on their servers. is there any way to install gallery without them?

Do they run windows? You should be able to run it fine without bat file support. :)

If they do run windows, configure.bat only removes a file called SECURE in the setup/ dir. So, if you want to re-enable the config wizard, delete the SECURE file. After you are done, just place a new file, called SECURE, in the setup/ dir and you should be fine.

you are very helpful. thank you.

just to clarify...
i can just upload everything to the server but the .bat and .sh and it should work?

im sorry. im new at this...
and i know nothing about windoze. ive really never used a windoze computer other than at friends houses or whatever. i didnt even know what a .bat file was=)

my server doesnt like .sh files either. is that a problem?

thank you.

I tried it...

configure.bat:
    File missing or unreadable.

configure.sh:
    File missing or unreadable.

secure.bat:
    File missing or unreadable.

secure.sh:
    File missing or unreadable.

any ideas?
i think im giving up on this one. having no experience with code other than cgi files...i think im in over my head.

i knew that i would regret one day being cheap and using a windows host.

i do love the gallery program though. it works wonderfully on one of my unix hosts.
