Ok, I am sure this has been brought up a number of times, but I was unable to find anything userful by doing a search.

Details:
Gallery v1.3.2-cvs-b4
Win 2k Server w/SP2
Apache 1.3.24
PHP 4.2.0

As I understood it, I could simply copy the albums directory to a new server, run the gallery configuration, and it should work. Well, it didn't.

I copied an entire albums directory (inlcuding 40 plus albums) (http://photos.waffull.com) to a new server (http://waffull.com:9700/gallery/albums.php)

I only get a missing image icon now. It recognizes there are different albums and all the pics, but I can't get them to appear.

I have this server setup the same way I had the other server setup, just different drive letters.
Album Directory: h:/gallery/albums
Gallery URL: http://waffull.com:9700/gallery
Albums URL: http://waffull.com:9700/gallery/albums

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thank you,
Marc

I just checked your site and it looks to be working now. What was the problem?

Stupid me had forgotten to put an alias statement in the httpd.conf file for the directory:

Alias /gallery/albums/ "h:/gallery/albums/"
<directory "h:/gallery/albums/">
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>

I know this was an apache problem, not a gallery problem, but you might want to make an FAQ out of it.

Thanks for your persistence and great work!!!
