Ask your server administrator to enable mod_rewrite and set AllowOverride FileInfo Options to fix this.

Hello, I have a problem after moving the Gallery to a new server. I imported the old database and uploaded the old gallery files. When I try to change the album permissions, I get the following message:
"Oh no! Your server needs a configuration change in order for you to hide photos! Ask your server administrator to enable mod_rewrite and set AllowOverride FileInfo Options to fix this."
I can create new albums, but I can't add new photos to the album.
A "clean" new installation of the Gallery on the same server works fine.
Can I ask for some suggestions? Thank you, best regards

If your clean install and copied install are on the same (virtual or otherwise) server then the Apache config should be correct.

My guess, therefore, is that you've either not copied over everything or the file permissions are wrong.  In your gallery root there should be an ".htaccess" file which turns on the mod rewrite function via the line "RewriteEngine On".  Compare it with your clean install.

You were right, the files on the old server were corrupt. Thank you for your help, best regards. Grzegorz
