Hi

I get a problem with step 4 "Storage setup" during the installation. I specify a directory which is outside the webroot (httpdocs) and the gallery doesn't seem to be able to see anything outside the webroot. I don't have write access to the root, but I do have write access to directory "private" in the root - and that is where I placed the g2data folder.

Thanks for your help.


Gallery version (not just "2"): 2.02

open_basedir /home/httpd/vhosts/andy.ealert.com.au/httpdocs:/tmp

you can only create your g2data folder under

open_basedir /home/httpd/vhosts/andy.ealert.com.au/httpdocs/

so you can't create it above the webroot.
discuss this open_basedir value with your webhost... IMO open_basedir /home/httpd/vhosts/andy.ealert.com.au:/tmp
would be already restrictive enough.
