[users@httpd] Apache .htaccess against Gallery Software...

[Ola Ogunneye <oo...@adventisthealthcare.com>]

Please has anyone used Gallery installation on Apache before? I just installed it and I got a warning from Gallery saying that the .htaccess rule is not alowing it certain parameters and that I need to add a directive in my httpd.conf file. The Directive is supposed to be something to the effect of:

<Directory> C:\Program Files\....\\
                   Allowoverride fileinfo
<Directory>

I am really sorry I did not write down the exact syntax, I am currently at work and my server is at home but the above is close enough. 

The system also said that I need to allow mod_rewrite

With all these, I went into my httpd.conf and tried to insert the exact required syntax, and also loaded the module mod_rewrite, I think I did this in the PHP.inc or something to that effect by removing the # sign in front of the statement.

The question is, is this something I should have done this way or do I need to do the .htaccess rule somewhere else?

Please I have been doing this for approximately 3 weeks in total so I am a newbie and just do not want to mess up real bad.

Thank you all in advance...

So, what is the problem? Didn't it work? Please, ask a question. Without
one, it is hard to answer :)

Uhm, you went into httpd.conf but you made the changes in PHP's
configuration?

I have no knowledge of the packet you are trying to install, but it sounds
to me that what you need to do is get into httpd.conf and uncomment thís
directive:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

And add this block:

    <Directory "x:/path/to/gallery">
        AllowOverride FileInfo
    </Directory>

Restart Apache and see what happens. If it doesn't work as expected, please
report exact errors and excerpts from the error.log and/or detailed
description of what happens.
