Edit Permission Problem

When I click on Edit Permissions for a Album I am getting tho following message:
** Oh no! Your server needs a configuration change in order for you to hide photos! Ask your server administrator to set AllowOverride FileInfo Options to fix this. ** I have checked my vhost config and the I have this (from server-info):
41: <VirtualHost *:80>
42: ServerAdmin

43: ServerName g3.dev.dmj.nu
49: DocumentRoot "/var/www/g3.dmj.nu/htdocs"
54: <Directory "/var/www/g3.dmj.nu/htdocs">
70: Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks
78: AllowOverride FileInfo Options
: </Directory>
107: ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/g3.dmj.nu/error_log
: </VirtualHost>

As you can see the options are enabled but I still get the error message. Any suggestions?

Gallery 3b1 on Centos5, lighttpd rather than apache (my Gallery 2 installation does not work under apache I think due to forced move without disabling short urls from a host who turned safe mode on and refused to turn it off even temporarily to allow me to migrate properly)

My Server-Info looks like this for mod_rewrite:

Module Name: mod_rewrite.c
Content handlers: yes
Configuration Phase Participation: Create Directory Config, Merge Directory Configs, Create Server Config, Merge Server Configs
Request Phase Participation: Translate Name, Fixups, Content Handlers
Module Directives:
RewriteEngine - On or Off to enable or disable (default) the whole rewriting engine
RewriteOptions - List of option strings to set
RewriteBase - the base URL of the per-directory context
RewriteCond - an input string and a to be applied regexp-pattern
RewriteRule - an URL-applied regexp-pattern and a substitution URL
RewriteMap - a mapname and a filename
RewriteLock - the filename of a lockfile used for inter-process synchronization
RewriteLog - the filename of the rewriting logfile
RewriteLogLevel - the level of the rewriting logfile verbosity (0=none, 1=std, .., 9=max)
Current Configuration:
In file: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/35_g3.dmj.nu.conf
41: <VirtualHost *:80>
108: RewriteEngine On
: </VirtualHost>

Are the some other Rewrite Option that needs to be set?

This is the core.c output for my G3 Dev vhost.

    In file: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/35_g3.dmj.nu.conf
      41: <VirtualHost *:80>
      42:   ServerAdmin 
      43:   ServerName g3.dev.dmj.nu
      49:   DocumentRoot "/var/www/g3.dmj.nu/htdocs"
      54:   <Directory "/var/www/g3.dmj.nu/htdocs">
      70:     Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
      78:     AllowOverride FileInfo Options
        :   </Directory>
     112:   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/g3.dmj.nu/error_log
        : </VirtualHost>

What is the "standard" content of .htaccess?
Mine looks like this

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value short_open_tag      1
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc    0
  php_value register_globals    0
  php_value session.auto_start  0
  php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
  php_value post_max_size       100M
</IfModule>

ok - mine is now working.

Switched my server from lighttpd to apache, managed to re-install my G2.3 and get my old gallery data working (at last). Permissions seem to work, although I have not yet managed to work out the permissions hierarchy - eventually I always lock everyone out from all albums except admin. I'm sure it's simple really and I am just being dumb; and I don't think there's a per album password option

Ah ha! Thanks for reporting back @danjoh-- I hadn't thought about that requirement, but yes your server needs to be able to resolve its own hostname for this test to work. I'll see if I can figure out some way to check for that also.

I had the same problem when mod rewrite was not enabled. Thought I had opened a ticker, but can't seem to find it.

Hi, someone finds solution for this problem? this problem is only ofr third level domain?

Thanks all

One last gotcha. I checked and rechecked mod_rewrite and AllowOverride options, but still kept getting the error message when trying to set album permissions. I also found that creating the security_test directory and verify file worked, but it would only work once and would be deleted. My apache server runs as user wwwrun and group www. If I change the owner and the group to reflect that with rights 644, the file and directory are deleted after the permissions check for setting album rights. If I leave the owner as root and the group as wwwrun with rights 644, the file and directory remain and are not deleted. Hope this is helpful.
