Hey, I'm trying to setup gallery on my site (http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/dlynas/gallery) and at first, got the 500 error message. i was unable to edit the /setup/.htaccess file so that the error went away, so i deleted the file. this worked fine until i got to the last step, where i was going to save the configuration. when i click the "save config" button, i get this message:

" Unable to write to /config.php.
You are missing either config.php or .htaccess. "

please help, i've been up for hours, my brain hurts. thank you SOOO Much

Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).

Gallery version: 1.4-pl1
Apache version: SunOS moya 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): 4.2.2

Operating system: Unix/Linux
Web browser/version (if applicable):

Have you created those two files and chmodded them appropriately ?

Read http://gallery.sf.net/docs.php

Yes I did...any ideas? When I have the .htaccess file in my setup directory, I get the 500 internal error, not matter what the chmod is. (Unless I'm mistaken about the chmod). When I don't have the file, I can go throught the whole setup process until I get to the end, when I get the "you are missing config.php or .htaccess" error.

Nope, you can safely delete the .htaccess file in the setup/ directory (you must still create one in the main Gallery directory)..

See FAQ c.1 for more details..

all the permissions are right, i've read every word of the faq and i know that the files are (and aren't) where they should (and shouldn't) be...i'm just stumped.

I'd like to reproduce the error. Can you give me the path to netpbm or imagemagick, so I can get to the save settings page?

/usr/www/Stu/dlynas/gallery/temp
gallery url:

Try this.

Edit setup/index.php and replace 

if (!isset($GALLERY_BASEDIR)) {
        $GALLERY_BASEDIR = '../';
}

with $GALLERY_BASEDIR = '../';

Tried it, still no luck. My webmaster suggested that I make *.sh files chmod 711. I also did this, still with the same results. ARG!!! Is anyone out there magical?

wraithd1, I went searching for this bug, and found you were still stuck. I missed your last message.

Did you solve this, have you given up, or do you still need a hand?
