Gallery login.txt does not match.

you're the 3rd user to report such an issue since the release of g 2.0. g 2.0 has been downloaded a few thousand times, so this seems to affect a very small percentage. yet, i haven't figured out what you three have in common.
thanks for providing system information and a phpinfo link, hopefully this will help identiying the problem. but it's nothing obvious.

from your gallery2 link i see that you finally managed to install it. did you change anything?

Valiant: Nope, I didn't change anything, I did manage to get to step 8 where it installed the core modules before it went back to the authentication step. I then used the site admin control area to install the rest of the modules manually (full install) and this resulted in some weird issues like: thumbnails weren't building at all. This all worked perfectly with RC1/2 and I was holding out for G2 final before I went live.

nivekiam: The install starts right back from the beginning, although it seems to remember all the settings along the way. I will try delete it and see what happens.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Update: Still comes up with the same issue, can't figure out why. It worked perfectly with RC1 and RC2. I managed to get as far as installing the core gallery module, after which I installed the other modules manually. Inconvenient, but small price to pay. The thumbnail issue seems to be a known issue, something to do with the order in which the graphics toolkits are activated, I activated ImageMagick first and it works ok now.

I have managed to get gallery2 installed and absolutely love the software. I will donate as soon as I have some spare cash.

Thank you for the help, anything I can do to help solve this issue for other people, let me know.

I think at some point the login.txt moved from being in /gallery2/install (or is it /gallery2/setup?) to just /gallery2/. I doubt this is the problem, but maybe?!

Like Gallery? Appreciate my help? Think I'm an asshole? Make your point by donating to the Gallery project! Or maybe just visit my website.

Hi!
I can see that there are a few people with the same problem as myself.
I keep getting the message:

"Error: your login.txt key does not match correctly. Please download a new authentication string from below and try again."

I´m trying to install Gallery 2 on my PC with the following properties:

Windows XP SP2
Apace 1.3.31
PHP 5
MySQL 4.0.21
Browser Firefox 1.0.7 and IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

But I don´t get passed step 1?!?!?! It doesn´t matter how I do. I have tried to manually copy the key into a blank login.txt, I have tried to download the file but it is filled with loads of crap. This is how it looks when I have downloaded the file:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/Temporary\sess_09tmk89iqn99qdtun4th53fdl1, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in <b>c:\program files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\html\gallery2\install\index.php</b> on line <b>77</b><br />
86bae653732018d21ed275fa9468e49d<br />
<b>Warning</b>: Unknown: open(C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/Temporary\sess_09t

On top of that I get this text at the very top of the browser:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/Temporary\sess_3ptg5h675v44rq4ejqbt01lug7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\program files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\html\gallery2\install\index.php on line 77

And the following text at the very bottom of the page:

Warning: Unknown: open(C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/Temporary\sess_3ptg5h675v44rq4ejqbt01lug7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/html/Temporary) in Unknown on line 0

Can anyone of you guys give me a hint to what it can be?!

Hi I´m using php 5.0.2 and the settings described in the FAQ-link seems to be similar to what I´ve got?

Have a look at this link. You might be able to help me when you have this information.

Bonjour,

I have been trying to install Gallery but I keep getting the same message
""Error: your login.txt key does not match correctly. Please download a new authentication string from below and try again."
I also get a message on top of the page:

Warning: putenv() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/users/s/saadtazi/www/galerie/modules/core/classes/GalleryTranslator.class on line 273

Warning: putenv() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/users/s/saadtazi/www/galerie/modules/core/classes/GalleryTranslator.class on line 274

I am running a PowerBook G4 with Camino.

Thanks for your help

Valiant,

Thank you for your quick feedback.

Since I am not a comuter geek, excuse my naive questions.
Do I need to modify the php.ini in the Gallery package?
Are the two lines you've just mentioned the only ones to modify or are there others?

Thanks again.

Thanks,

Do I have to modify other lines than the 2 you've mentioned?

Thanks again,

st

Valiant,

It was not my intent to post the php.ini here...
Thanks for your help. I'll play with the file and see how it reacts.

cheers,

st

Thanks Valiant!
You were right! I have now installed php 5.0.5 and the Gallery2 installation works perfectly fine. But when I´m trying to integrate Gallery in my PostNuke 0.750 installation with the pnGallery2 1.0 Beta module I don´t get it to work. I have done all things according to the instructions. Also disabled the URL Rewrite Module in Gallery2 as I saw someone in another thread recommended. But I still get the message "Failed to load module pnGallery2" when I call the module from postnuke with [pnGallery2].
This might not be the thread to ask this question but maybe someone looking at this have had a similar problem?

Regards

Just FYI; I had the same problem installing G2: kept on going back to the Authentication (Step 1) screen after the Installation Type screen (step 3). I "fixed" it by turning off my firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro).
