I am setting up a server at home and I am having some issues... feel free to check it out. The domain is joepatterson.com

When I go to joepatterson.com/gallery/ , for some reason, the index.php file does not resolve. Why does it show a list of files rather than the index.php files?

Secondly, when I click on index.php and I click on the 'Configuration Wizard' on the page, I get a 500 server error. I have installed this gallery a LOT of times and I have had no issues before... The permissions are correct, or at least, I believe so.

Please help.

Thanks.

Have you edited your httpd.conf file to parse php files?

Make sure you have your directory indexing correct:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Since you're getting server errors when clicking on your index.php, this might be what's causing index.php not to resolve as well, as well - though that doesn't seem too likely.

Look in your error.log to see what error message you're getting from Apache, and that will help us figure out what's going wrong with the server, in your index.php script.

OK... I got the server to automatically load the index.php file... Thanks,

Now any idea why going to joepatterson.com/gallery and then clicing on Configuration Wizard I get a 500 error?

Yep. Read the page and it tells you what to do. Read index.php


Unix with shell access
% cd /path/to/your/gallery
% sh ./configure.sh

Unix with FTP access
ftp> chmod 666 .htaccess
ftp> chmod 666 config.php
ftp> chmod 755 setup

Windows
C:\> cd \path\to\your\gallery
C:\> configure.bat

You have to run that first.

Thanks for your thoughts...

This about the 5th time I have installed gallery... so I am familiar with it. However, this is the first time I have setup my OWN server. I have done their setup process already and made all the permissions correct on my end (at least as far as their instructions go)... I am guessing I have a httpd.conf error or something... but I am not sure, or a permission error somewhere else.

Any ideas? What does 500 error usually mean?
