(i edited out password to "password")

The only thing I can think of is that I upgraded to php 4.3.0, but I'm using the same php.ini, and I used the same ./configure line.

Gallery remote used to work, but now just hangs on login, and does nothing after that last line.

Same problem here. I just installed Gallery and PHP 4.3.0 so maybe it's an issue with that version of PHP. The site works fine, however Gallery Remote just hangs at login. If it's a PHP issue, does anyone have any suggestions for downgrading? I'm running SunOS 5.7 which I'm pretty familiar with, but I'm always wary of doing such things.

ajdotcom, after you uninstalled via add remove, delete the "gallery remote" folder from program files. That should clear it so you can reinstall older version. Also I found the latest version of Java from sun didn't go to well with older versions of gallery so I had to reinstall the older 1.3.1.

Goodluck!

Mine locks up as soon as I enter the URL. It seems that everything is fine until the URL goes in and I click on login. Afterwards it can take from a minute to eternity for it to come back up. Windows doesn't show it to be "not Responding" but nevertheless it's frozen solid indefinetly. Where can I download this older version? All I care is for it to work - features mean nothing if I can't use the program at all.

try accessing your gallery outside your PHP portal and see if you can login directly - thats where the problem seems to be.

If I access it vie http://www.mysite.com/modules/gallery and try to login - no chance

When I pull it up from within Postnuke - it authenticates me as "Admin"

The password I set during setup does not work - period - if not using PN. That seems to be the root-cause for GR errors too.

OK - I think I solved the mystery - or maybe I didnt - but mine works now. Maybe a tech can review and substanciate one or both of my theories.

Here's what I did to fix it:
When I setup the Gallery, I used the same Admin password as I did for the Postnuke site. So thinking there was a conflict, I reset my .htaccess, config.php to chmod 777 and the setup dir to 755 and reran the setup utility. When I did - the pw was blank and I saw the note that said that the password resets itself each time setup is run. So I changed the password - to something else, finished the setup, reset my files to chmod 644 and 0 on the setup dir - and voila! it worked! I could log in on the http://www.mysite.com/modules/gallery page, as well as in 0.3 Gallery Remote, as well as GR 1.0.

What fixed it? Here are my theories:

1) It's true that the password in Gallery needs to be different than in the main PN page - or

2) When setting up the Galery the first time - before I could finish, I had to "backtrack" to the first setup page where the password is located. In doing so, the password I originally entered was probably removed, so that when I finished the setup, the Admin account had no valid "password" to lookup.

Anyway, those are my theories. Maybe someone with a little more technical expertise can validate or refute them. Thanks.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
