Hey all -

thanks in advance for any help you can offer...I'm definitely not a coder/programmer and am trying to use my decent, but limited, technical knowledge to get a drupal site up and running.

I've installed both Gallery and Gallery2 in the modules directory of my site. When I attempt to configure Gallery2 I get the following error: Location of Gallery2: file ./gallery2/embed.php does not exist [Error] However, I can see the embed.php file in the directory.

I'm also totally confused by the manual configuration settings.

So - how can I get the Gallery2 configuration to see the embed.php file?

Also, my directory path for Gallery2 is /public_html/modules/gallery2 - is that the path I should enter as the filesystem path? what about the gallery URL or URI?

thanks -

jen

Hello Everyone,

I seem to have a similar problem on my site after upgrading from Drupal 5.x to 5.5. I already had my Gallery-Configuration up and running for a while, so it worked fine before the update.

I updated the gallery module in drupal as well to the latest stable version 5.x-2.0.
I didn't change the Gallery2-Installation though.
The Gallery2 as such is working fine, but the integration in drupal is not working.

The Error Message i get:
Gallery Init: Everything seemed OK, but the Gallery could still not be initialised. Perhaps a manually entered value is incorrect. [Error]

The paths received are correct:
Gallery2 filesystem path:
/www/htdocs/flyhigh/data/gallery2/
Embed URI:
/index.php?q=gallery

If I try to set the values manually, i get the following error:

Location of Gallery2: file /data/gallery2/embed.php is restricted by PHP open_basedir [Error]

Yesterday it showed me "embed.php does no exist" although i cold see the file in this location through the ftp-program.

I'm confused...Any ideas?
I don't know what kind of information could be useful to resolve this issue, but i'd be glad to provide any details needed.

Merry Christmas by the way ;)

p.s.: there's a issue on the homepage of the module with this problem: http://drupal.org/node/188047
