hi i am a local user on a friends server. he created a database for me so i have been able to get gallery up and running, but there are some other settings i guess i need him to adjust so everything is working properly. he's busy so i need to figure out what needs to be modified on the server to make things work.

first of all, my ~/public_html/gallery3/php.ini is not getting acknowledged since i still have a 2MB limit. so i need to know how to get the system to read those settings.

secondly, when i go to edit permissions for an album, i see "Ask your server administrator to enable mod_rewrite and set AllowOverride FileInfo Options to fix this." where does that need to happen?

third, and this might be resolved after fixing the above things, i do not see a way to "add videos", there is still only "add photos". ffmpeg is installed on the server (version SVN-r0.5.6-4:0.5.6-3).

Putting RewriteEngine On in your htaccess file would enable mod_rewrite IF the server was set to allow it. I'm almost sure that that's part of the htaccess file that ships with Gallery, so, if it's still not working, you'll have to have your friend deal with this. Actually, he/she needs to address both the first and the second issues you mentioned.

For the videos, I don't upload them, but I don't think that the actual button changes. Have you tried just clicking "Add Photos" and selecting the video?

well i guess it's not set to allow it because when i use this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  AllowOverride FileInfo
</IfModule>

i get a '500 internal server error' when i go to my gallery.

so yeah, i know i need my friend to address this, the question is what exactly needs to happen? like i said he is busy and i kinda need to tell him "edit file X and put Y into it" or something

FAQ: Why can't I upload big files (over a megabyte or two)?
Should yield some more info. We are not sever administrators. Perhaps there are better locations on the net to get better support regarding server configuration.
