I have been trying to get this gallery software working on my web server for a few days with no luck. I think it has something to do with the include_path variable, but I've searched the forums and FAQ have not found a solution that works for me.

I have:

* Downloaded the latest version of GALLERY (1.3.3)
* Uploaded all of the directories and files to my web server via FTP.
* Created a blank file.
* Uploaded it via FTP (binary mode) and renamed it as .htaccess.
* Uploaded it via FTP (binary mode0 and renamed it to config.php.
* Made sure the two new files had CHMOD values of 777.
* Gone to the index page and received the following error...

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'errors/configure_instructions.php' (include_path='c:php4pear') in d:htmlusersbodyofwatercomhtmldangalleryerrorsreconfigure.php on line 10

Does this error mean that the Gallery app is trying to open c:php4pear'errors/configure_instructions.php? If so, I can understand why that fails. But how do I fix it?

I have tried adding a line reading "php_value include_path '.'" to my .htaccess file, but that did not seem to help.

I'm on a shared host so I can not edit the php.ini file.

My PHPINFO page is at http://www.bodyofwater.com/dan/gallery/setup/phpinfo.php.

I sure would appreciate any help you could offer.

Thanks,

Greg

Well, ideally you should set the include_path in your php.ini file instead.
On Windows, you use a semicolon ( ; ) to demarcate paths (whereas on Unix/Linux it would be a colon (.

So your include_path should be something like:

include_path=".;c:php4pear" (inside php.ini, for the "Master" value)
php_value include_path ".;c:php4pear" (inside .htaccess, for the "Local" value)

You should ask your sysadmin to edit the php.ini file. This is a very reasonable request.

As for doing it via the .htaccess file, that *ought* to be working. :roll: This should go in the .htaccess file in the gallery directory. Make sure it's in correctly. It's not currently showing up on your phpinfo.php page, so something's not entered correctly.

I checked, and it seems the configure_instructions.php file does exist, so your problem isn't with the file not being where it should be (which is sometimes the case with this error).

Okay, still not working.

I've contacted my web host to see if they are willing to edit the main PHP.INI file, but I have not heard back.

Currently the .HTACCESS file in the main gallery directory reads:
php_value include_path ".;c:php4pear"

And the .HTACCESS file in the setup directory reads:
php_value auto_prepend_file php_value_ok.php
php_value magic_quotes_gpc off
php_value include_path ".;c:php4pear"

Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(index.php)$ index.php?init_mod_rewrite=1&ampersandbroken= [QSA]
</IfModule>

Any additional hints or ideas?

Thanks,

G
