The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version: 1.5.10
Apache version:2.2.3
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): 5.1.6
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise 5.4
Web browser/version (if applicable):

I'm going nuts. I've had gallery running for years, and all of a sudden, it no longer works. Going to the site just hangs, with no errors in the Apache error log. I'm able to re-run the config, and it shows everything as fine.

I can't be certain when it stopped working, but I believe it stopped after I upgraded to RHEL 5 from RHEL 4.

I even tried a fresh install, and it simply won't run.

I suspect there's some incompatability, but I just can't figure out what it is.

Any help is appreciated.

A link to your site might help.

Otherwise, all I can suggest is to check all your paths, the paths in config.php and the file permissions.

A link to the site won't help: all you get is a blank page with a hung TCP/IP connection. The server does not send back any data at all, causing it to hang an HTTP daemon until it times out. I had to disable access to it because the hung daemons were eating up all the server resources and crashing my main site.

Paths are fine, checked those.

I set all permissions on .php files to 755, and all directories to 777. Any other permissions I need to look for? Is there a complete list someplace?

Any paths you need would be in the config file.

With the OS upgrade, check your server's config. Are your other sites working? Check your rewrite rules.

Yes, as I said before, I've already checked the paths.
Yes, all my sites work. Everything works. Except gallery. Rewrite rules are correct - the .htaccess file is the one that was supplied.

BUT - here's a new piece of info. I just tried wiping out the entire albums directory and recreating it from scratch, and now I can get in. The implication here is that there's some sort of corruption in the albums tree. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot it from that angle?
