<I am building my webpage on att.net server. I downloaded the gallery program and followed the directions. I am using WS_FTP Pro. The att server will not accept the .htaccess file. It gives a file name error. Can somebody help me? I spent some time searching for the same problem in the faq but found nothing.

Give us your Gallery/webserver information to get a faster answer.
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version:
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:
Web browser/version (if applicable):

OK, try this: chmod your gallery directory 0777, as well as config.php and the setup/ directory. Run the config wizard, pray that it works ;), then return config.php's chmod to 644 and your gallery and setup directories to 755

Hey, This is my first night playing with this cool looking and simple enough to use gallery, but I have already run into this same problem and tried your possible solution with no luck. I don't understand why

I cannot make that text file, and it's not just in the gallery, it's anywhere at all. Does it maybe have something to do with starting with a dot? I tried uploading it through my control panel and also ws_ftp pro. I have even tried putting up a wrongly named .txt file and then renaming it...that did not work either (it would dissappear when I rename it). My transfer logs do not show any red flags either. Is this a common problem or just something starange on my end?

You're doing it right. To resolve the "disappearing after renaming" problem, see FAQ c.19
