Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with my gallery. It unexpectedly went down and I can't remember what I had done, or otherwise I'd retrace my steps. But as it stands I can't figure out why it's down and what I need to do to get it back up and running again. One thing I did do after it went down was to seek counsel from the FAQ page, and based on this advice:

Quote:

When I try to access my Gallery or the configuration wizard, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. What's up?

This is because your webserver doesn't allow you to use certain .htaccess overrides. The Gallery setup script tries to set some PHP settings, but this requires you to set AllowOverride Options FileInfo or disable the overrides. If you have access to your httpd.conf file, add this to it:

<Directory "/path/to/your/gallery/directory">
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

If you don't have access to your httpd.conf, delete the .htaccess file (from the setup/ directory if the configuration wizard is throwing the error).

Based on this, I deleted the .htaccess file, but that didn't resolve anything. So now I'm in need of better advice. My gallery now appears this way. With lots of warnings and caution signs. What do you think? Can you help me?

The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful): http://streetvendor.org/public_html/gallery/setup/index.php
Gallery version: 1.4.3
Graphics Toolkit: GD
Operating system: Windows XP

Hello,

you are using an old Version of Gallery, but a "new" Version of PHP.
Gallery prior 1.5.2 can not work with PHP5.x or 4.4.x

Please update your Gallery first.

Gallery 1.x also dont work with GD. You need ImageMagick, or NetPBM.

Let's see. Thanks for the reply. I don't use GD for this gallery. I also have Gallery 2 installed now--I had to do something until this was fixed--but some of the key stuff (for example, the captions of the photos) is still stored in gallery 1, which is why I want to get it back up to recover them. I looked into the alternative of updating the gallery 1 to 2, but the documentation suggests to me that updating from Gallery 1 to Gallery 2 is not feasible or recommended. Maybe I have that wrong, but the two galleries seem to lie parallel to each other, and have few or no intersection points.

My only problem then becomes migrating the caption information from the gallery 1 that is still down to the gallery 2 that now contains the same albums, sans the captions.
