Can someone who have free time explain to me why main.php is the main page of gallery, instead of index.php after stalling at root directory . At a consequence, when i entered mydomain.com, the page with parent directory came up. It is really weird to me. Other my sql based applicaitons are not like that. What would be the remedy? thanks

- You can copy and paste a lot of the required information from "Site Admin" -> "Maintenance" -> "System Information" if your G2 is up and running.

Gallery version (not just "2"):
PHP version (e.g. 5.1.6):
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ):
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33):
Database (e.g. MySql 5.0.32):
Activated toolkits (e.g. NetPbm, GD):
Operating system (e.g. Linux):
Browser (e.g. Firefox 2.0):

To change this do the following:

Edit config.php and near the bottom change the baseUri to your Gallery's URL and remove the main.php part

Then add this to your .htaccess file
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex main.php

Now your URL will look like www.example.com/gallery2/ instead of www.example.com/gallery2/main.php
