new installation does not show photos or thumbnails

Hi,

I just completed a Gallery2 install on Site5, using their Fantastico. Below is current System info. I set my /g2data/ folder outside my /public_htm/ folder, and gave it 777 permission. I can create albums and upload images, but no thumbnail is displayed, and the image is not displayed. I imagine a path problem, but am new to these types of installs (lots of html experience, none with sql and php).

My URL is www.ceiba.org/gallery/

Can you please advise on how to repair the problem? Also, during the installation process, I was informed that some modules needed further configuration, supposedly via the Site Admin page; however, I don't see any links that let me manage modules.

Thanks in advance,

ElQuinde

When I clicked through your link, I don't see an image, but rather a server message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /gallery/main.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.ceiba.org Port 80

Can you provide a little more assistance on resolving the problem, or suggest other sources? I also am posting a similar comment to the Site5 (domain host) forums.

Thanks!

> Is Gallery configured to work only with Explorer?

gallery 2 works with any major browser (firefox, internet explorer, opera, safari, ...) and all browser versions from the last years.

it's a problem with your server.

URL rewrite generates nice, short URLs. without URL rewrite all your URLs are pretty long and a bit cryptic.

URL rewrite isn't required. all images should show up fine even without url rewrite.

Hi,
I'm VERY much an amateur and am just trying to install Gallery on our website to show some albums and sub-albums. I'm really ignorant about all these computer terms, sorry! So far, of only about 15 images I've uploaded, some show as photos, others don't show up at all - just the gallery icon (torn picture logo). Also in my Gallery page, only this same icon shows instead of any photos. I read the above posts and have fixed the URL rewrite (as that was also a problem for me). It sems my problem is with ImageMagick - see the test results below. I really don't know what this means. We use a web-server which showed Gallery as an option in their easy apps collection so I uploaded Gallery automatically there. Any help would be appreciated!! Please keep it simple!!
Thanks,
Shirley D

Thanks. I've been in touch with my server and I think we've got it figured out now. I really appreciate everyone's help!!
