Gallery Setup: Step 1
This is the Gallery system check page. This page will validate your installation to make sure that you have all the necessary components and permissions on this system and that everything is configured reasonably.

Check to see if you are running PHP 4. Note that some versions of PHP have bugs that cause Gallery to fail. PHP4.0.0 uses a different file upload protocol, versions 4.0.2, 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 v5.6.40 is OK


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 (eg, big ZIP files) and you may not be able to use mod_rewrite (see below).   Success
I can read your .htaccess file


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


Check to see if your webserver is compiled with mod_rewrite. Mod_rewrite allows the Gallery to use shorter URLs that are easier to read and look nicer when you mail them to your web-challenged relatives. It's not an essential feature.   Warning!
Either mod_rewrite is not installed or your .htaccess file is not enabled (see above). Either way, we'll have to use longer URLs in the Gallery. If you want to turn it on I'd suggest that you make sure that your .htaccess file works and then if it still doesn't work you may need to reconfigure and rebuild Apache with this flag:
--enable-module=rewrite


Check to see if NetPBM is installed so that Gallery can manipulate images (rotate, resize, make thumbnails, etc).   Warning!
I can't find NetPBM. If it's installed, it's not in the path of the webserver user. If it's not installed, you have two choices. You can install the entire NetPBM package from NetPBM on SourceForge. or you can install just the binaries Gallery needs from Gallery on SourceForge Note: You can install the binaries from the Gallery site even if you don't have root access on your box! If gallery does not have the specific binaries for your hardware/software combination post a request On the Gallery website and we'll build them for you.

If NetPBM is installed and Gallery isn't finding it automatically that's OK -- that just means you'll have to specify the path to NetPBM by hand on the following page


Your installation has warnings, but life is short so let's GO!
