during installation, on the 'Locations and URLs' tab
the 'Album directory' field is improperly pre-populated with what a path based on the getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT") command
because this function does not guarantee a true full path, beginner users on systems with symbolic links and/or hidden directories can become frustrated with an installation that doesn't work.
note that the 'Thumbnail image' field, slightly further down on the same tab, is correctly populated using the GALLERY_BASE constant instead of getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT") to determine the path
so my proposed bug fix: on line 320 of /setup/config_data.inc, replace getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT") with GALLERY_BASE that will also make the installation use a more standardized procedure ;) (note that this is the one and only place where DOCUMENT_ROOT is used)
thanks!

Sounds like a bug! Please file this on sf.net/projects/gallery and someone (probably Jens..) will eventually get to fixint it. Also feel free to submit a patch against Gallery CVS to the bug and I can probably check it in if it looks reasonable. Thanks!
