I just tried to install version 1.3.3. (on Linux, Apache Version 1.3.27, php version 4.3.1 ). I received a 500 error when trying to run the wizard so I did lots of reading. Somewhere here within the FAQ , forum or help files it said to delete the .htaccess and it worked. The wizard ran perfectly didn't show any errors but when I try to save, it says "Unable to write to .htaccess" . Of course it can't write to it because it's not there anymore because i needed to remove it so the wizard could run.
When I add the file again I receive the 500 error again. How do I get out of this ?

Any help very much appreciated as I couldn't find any help about this in the FAQ (or I am blind with frustration :wink

I am not sure if it matters (probably not) but I am using I.E 6 on Win XP

Thanks in advance,
flavius

Okay, I still get the .htaccess error with the wizard but now the gallery actually shows up :smile:

But NOW I can't login. I used "admin" as the username as stated somehwere here on the forum but it won't take my password I created with the wizard. Any ideas how I can find out why ?

Thanks (again),

Does it throw an error like 'Invalid Username or Password' or does it just not log you in?

I get the 'Invalid username or password' but both are correct which is very strange. I even ran the wizard again (twice) and added different passwords but to no avail. Same outcome.

That is quite weird. The default username is 'admin' (no quotes, lowercase) and the password is the thing you specified during configuration. CaSe Matters :smile: Try re-running the configuration wizard and put a pretty simple password (2-3 characters, all lowercase). Make sure you're not mistyping it (change it later, of course)...

I just did although I am pretty sure I didn't mis-type before. This time I used a simple 123 as password and the lowercase admin (as before) and I still get the 'Invalid username or password' :sad:

Does this have to do with the missing .htaccess file ?

Thanks for your help btw. !
