Check to see how old Gallery version 1.4.4-pl4 is.

Warning! This version of Gallery was released on 11/03/04. You can check for more recent versions by visiting http://gallery.sourceforge.net.

Check to see if you are running PHP 4. Note that some versions of PHP have bugs that cause Gallery to fail. PHP 4.0.0 uses a different file upload protocol, and versions 4.0.3 and 4.0.3pl1 have a bug in the unserialization code that cause Gallery to be unable to read its own database. Upgrade to at least PHP 4.0.4pl1 if you can.

Success PHP v5.2.6 is OK.

We are using predefined variables which some older version of PHP have problems with.

Success Your version of PHP handles this issue properly.

Check to see if PHP is running in safe_mode. Safe Mode is a PHP security feature commonly used in shared environments. Gallery cannot run when Safe Mode is enabled because it imposes too many restrictions.

Allow the Gallery .htaccess file to set application specific configuration options for the Gallery application. This is controlled by the webserver owner so it's not always possible for you to change it. The main drawbacks to not having this are that you may not be able to upload files > 2MB (e.g. big ZIP files or movies).

Warning! Apache is not obeying the 'php_value' lines in your .htaccess file. Try entering the following into your web server's httpd.conf file: <Directory /home/.tildy/sammyowl/owlcon.com/gallery> AllowOverride Options FileInfo </Directory> If you are running PHP in CGI mode, this message is unavoidable.

Check to see if magic quotes are enabled on your PHP server. If they're on, you may notice strange behavior if you put ' (single-quote), " (double quote) or \ (backslash) characters in titles or captions in Gallery.

Success magic_quotes are off.

Success mod_rewrite is enabled.

Check to see if PHP is compiled with GNU gettext support for fast translations.

Success PHP has GNU gettext support.

Check to see what languages are available.
