hi

I loaded the gallery-files to my folder on the webserver, created the 2 file (config.php and .htaccess) and changed the properties for the files and the setup folder!

ok, now when I load the main-page such as 'www.domain.com/gallery' nothing happens - just a blank screen!
when I have a look at the sourcecode I see some php code....

argh, any help on this?

thanks so much

Are you sure that you have PHP installed on your server? If you're seeing PHP source code in your browser then the odds are that PHP is not configured correctly.

Try browsing to:

http://your.server/gallery/setup/phpinfo.php

If that gives you many pages of diagnostics then PHP is installed correctly. If not, talk to your ISP.

I am having the same problem, have uploaded all the correct files and the two empty files. When I browse to the main page to get it started - nothing. A blank screen. View sourec also gives me nothing.

When I use the link in the above post to ...../phpinfo.php the result is this:

Fatal error: Unable to open phpinfo.php in Unknown on line 0

and on checking for that file in the gallery/setup folder, it does not appear to exist.

Please someone help, I have been trying to get this to work since Saturday.

You have several problems. The Gallery distribution contains setup/phpinfo.php, so if you're not finding that then you probably unpacked/uploaded the script incorrectly. Once you have that file in the right place, you should browse to it and it will give you diagnostic information about your PHP configuration. This is basic webserver configuration stuff -- if it doesn't work properly you should contact your ISP.

Yup, it was missing from my folder, re downloaded the gallery distribution and got further so thanks for your help. (another problem in another thread though!)
