I have a new ZenPhoto gallery installation that I am having issues with. Just setup the site from scratch last night... dropped the new 1.2.5 version files into my root... and went through the initial setup... so far so good...
I added a folder into the albums folder, and then loaded pictures into that folder...
... changed my theme, and the home page seems to load correctly
http://jordborg.congdons.net/
But when you hover over the main album, check out the destination that link points to...
click on the link and it's trying to go to the folder itself instead of the ...index.php?album=album_name, and because of that it errors out... I have no clue why this is doing this... I have dropped and re-created the DB, I have deleted all info from my webRoot, tried using 1.2.4... all to no avail!

if you manually enter the ...index.php?album=album_name it works too.

I'm pulling my hair out on this one! Thanks for any help.

You appear to have set the mod_rewrite option but your server seems not to support mod_rewrite. Reset that option.

Where is this set at?

Is mod_rewrite set as default? I DLed the ZP package and extracted right to my webRoot as is, the only data that I entered at setup was for the DB connect.

I have another ZP gallery setup on the same server, and have not had any issues there either.

Mod_rewrite would be set by default if the server is an apache server. The option is set on the gallery options tab. If you have another working installation, check the setting on it.

Your symptoms exactly match the situation where you have the option set but the server is not processing processing the URLs. Anyway, resetting the option is the equivalent of your entering ...index.php?album=album_name

That was it! Of course that was it, you're the "Chief Developer". I checked the settings on the other gallery that I have and it was not checked. I don't remember messing with that before, not sure how that worked out.
Thanks for your help though, much appreciatted.
