Problem with mod_rewrite and AllowOverride

hatter,

I'm getting the same error about mod_rewrite, and also have it and AllowOverride FileInfo Options set in my .conf file (not in .htaccess, by the way).

But my configuration doesn't look quite the same as yours; it's a vestige of the Gallery2 days. Where did you find documentation on this?

Lou

If so, that would be most interesting, as I have no .htaccess file at all - for security reasons, we don't use them as a policy - and the Rewrite Engine section of my conf file looks nothing like yours!

DrLou, I already responded to you once about this. G3 ships with a .htaccess file in the root gallery. Gallery never has and very most likely never will ever edit your conf file. If the .htaccess file isn't there, that really sounds like you are using Yahoo or some other host that doesn't allow .htaccess files on the server.

Download the current beta to your local computer and unzip it, you'll see the .htaccess file sitting right there.

I'm having the same problem as described and I can't seem to fix it either. =\

Does it matter that I'm using a virtual host, by chance? I've gone through my settings a number of times, and everything seems to be in order. Is there another way to test that these options are enabled?

I have shell access to my server. I've been using gallery2 for quite some time now and it had AllowOverride FileInfo Options enabled. I have it setup the same thing for my gallery3 installation. I'm using modrewrite on another part of my site, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Could you be more specific about what I should verify?

I'll check everything again. I think it's time to reorganize all of my sites. I thought I had everything setup correctly, but there's probably a typo somewhere. Thanks for the reply. I'll report back any findings.

Hi,
i have some problem, but i solved it when i read source code.
My problem was in missed entry in /etc/hosts becouse php script test functionality mod_rewrite calling http://your_host/var/security... and received status 305 not 200 as well received if mod_rewrite working.

Sample

if G3 is http://your_host/ you must add to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 your_host

I'm still having trouble with this error. I've been messing with this for a few hours and I'm now at wit's end....

I've done all the tweaks that I could find and understand. I'm not new to Linux per se` but I'm no web-dev guy so knowing how to tweak Apache was never my strong point. I'm certainly not a noob with Linux but I'm no wizard either. I'm afraid, if I tweak much else, I may break it to the point that I can't recall what I've done in order to undo it! Any help would be great!

#
# Then just use your Gallery 3 without the index.php in the url.

This is one of the very few remaining bugs that's keeping us from launching the 3.0 final release. https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/1209

I am very motivated to fix it, but I have not been able to reproduce it and it seems to be very related to Apache configurations. If it would be possible to give me direct access to your system, I bet I can figure it out but it's super hard to diagnose remotely. I'll need ssh access, so if you're willing to share please send me a PM and I'll give it a shot.

That solution works with my Mac OS X test installation, but not with my Ubuntu VPS installation.

@rkillcrazy: I'm confused as to what your issue is. Ticket #1335 is about you getting an error message when you go to Album > Edit Permissions -- but when I do that on your site I don't see any error message and your permissions all work. Can you please describe the problem you're seeing?

Wacky. It works for me on your site. Are you using the same url that you gave me? If you use a different url, it will confused mod_rewrite.

Ah ha! Check your SSL vhost and make sure that it has the right settings. I just verified on my own site that the verification code works just fine with https as long as the permissions are set properly.

Hello,

I cloned galley3 from your git repository and have this error, too

I have this in my apache config:

I have mod_rewrite activated for gallery2 where it works fine. I'm fulltime linux user and do some administration but know next to nothing about apache...
I would be very glad if someone could help me with this seemingly fixed bug...

TIA
Markus

Hi, everybody!
Thank you for the excellent gallery!

I also have a problem with the AllowOverride Fileinfo Options, like the hatter.

I put the G3 (gallery-gallery3-3.0-rc-2-346-g93d1a81.zip)in the gallery folder - site.ru/gallery/

How to modify a file .htaccsess, to edit right on the album?

mod_rewrite on my ho ON, I learned this moment with my hoster.

I tried to modify .htaccsess from instructions, but get an error 500.

Thanks in advance!

bharat Thank you for your work and answer!

Сan I somehow find itself without requiring a hosting provider?

I have a suggestion:

Maybe should make an example of properly written .htaccess file for those newbies like me?

Or generates it automatically, as in Joomla? From the beginner just want to rename Htaccess.txt в .htaccess.

This will greatly simplify the task.

I probably did not properly expressed.
I mean not only his presence, and properly configured with a GUI

The error logs are on the server, there is no way for Gallery to access them. You'll need to either know where they are at and how to access them, most hosts allow access to your error logs through your control panel, some do not. You'll need to contact your host.

bharat,

check PM, plz.

@malavka: do you, by any chance, have two different URLs that you use to access your Gallery 3 install? If so, do you get this warning when you use one url but not the other?

What did you upgrade from? It's possible that we were incorrectly thinking that it was working before, and now we're properly detecting that it doesn't...

Anything in your var/logs?

Same here bharat or similar (regarding album covers):

If the host isn't restricting hidden files then I'm not sure what's going on.
