Since I don't seem to be able to find a post, I guess no one has tried installing Zen Photo in the top level directory.

That is, instead of www.mysite.com/photo

just www.mysite.com no individual directory for it.

seem to have problems with images showing up and url's being proper, can't figure out what to set the base rewrite too.

have a look here: http://www.mikekey.com/

You'll notice the problem when you view and album.

Looks fine to me. The RewriteBase would just be '/'

nothing google couldn't teach me

Grrr... nevermind. I see the problem, I'm just not sure how to tell you how to fix it. I'm never good at these rewrite problems. Sorry.

I dunno, still looks like it works though .... ??

Looks like it's working now? Tell us if you have any more problems..
