I'm new to Gallery. I have scratched my head on this one so excuse me if this is simple and I'm just overlooking something. I have installed the Gallery 2 VMWare Appliance. I've forwarded the ports in my router but when I type the IP address (internal or external) I come to a page that lists all of the default passwords, along with the links to Gallery 1 and 2. I would like to make it so that this either forwards to the gallery 2 page or get rid the the welcome page with the default passwords, whichever is easier. I'm not a php coder so please keep that in mind. I might be able to fight my way through but I can't guarantee anything. I'm sure it's something simple but I can't find an answer and it's driving me CRAZY!

Thanks!

You just need to find where the files are stored. It is probably something like "/var/www/html/" or something like that. The "index.html" file in there is probably what is showing the information, you could then use some html ninja-foo to turn that into a simple re-direct to gallery2. You could also jiggle things around, move gallery2 to the "root" of the site, remove gallery 1 and the "default" page. A few choices to fix your issue.

I previously had tried replacing the index.php with index.html with a redirect command and it never worked. I even tried a redirect in php in the index.php with no luck. I finally had enough and I deleted the VM Appliance and reinstalled the appliance and did an html redirect and it worked like a charm. I don't know what I did previously but thanks for your help fryfrog.
