Hi all, sorry if this has been addressed by I've searched and searched and could not find a solution. I am new to Gallery and when I click the validate xhtml box at the bottom of my page (www.highonmusic.net/gallery) I get a pop up message that says "validation disabled until you set allowSessionAccess in config.php." Why is this and how do I fix it??

Thanks!!

In config.php in your gallery folder, find "allowsessionaccess" and change it from "false" to "true".

Thanks for the response. Will this in any way threaten the "security" of my site, though??

Well you can change the "true" to "128.30.52.13" (the address of validator.w3.org). However, I don't believe the link shows up for people not logged in anyway. I'm not sure if the syntax is such that you can simply change the true to the ip, as I haven't tried it mywelf, but test it and let me know.

It worked, I just didn't know if this would change anything other than the fact that it lets the validator check my site now.
