I'm trying to install this sweet thing here: http://gallery.menalto.com

But it seems that there's no suport for htaccess, is that true?

No that is not true. You need to put your .htaccess files where you wish for them to be.

then, why don't they show up when i do just that?

I've uploaded the .htaccess file several times and also tried to do this by command promt, nada result...

It's just not there for my cuteFTP to see. So i guess they never arrived. What am I doing wrong?

We are discussing this is the email. It would be easier if you just leave the messages to the email, so I am not required to check two sources for your reply.

Again sorry....this obviusly ain't my day.

E-mail on it's way...

create your .htaccess file in notepad but save it as "htaccess.txt"... then once you upload it, rename it to ".htaccess"

it will disappear for the directory, but it's there. in order to change it, do the same thing....

how do I chmod it if i can't see it?

why do you nedd to chmod it?

I'm trying to install a webbased photgallery (http://gallery.menalto.com), and to do so I hafta enter configuration mode. This means chmod'ing a few files -- ie the .htaccess file in question, to 777.

Then when I'm done configuring it, I hafta enter secure mode, wich means chmod'ing the files back -- also the in question .htaccess.

See my problem here? Here's a url that explains it: http://http://cvs.sourceforg...viewcvs-markup

Extract: At this point, you need to make both of these files writable. You
can do this (in the gallery directory)

chmod 777 .htaccess
chmod 777 config.php
chmod 755 setup

Now you're all set to configure gallery so go to the Gallery web
page. When you're done and it prompts you to make the gallery secure
again, you need to change your permissions back again:

chmod 644 config.php
chmod 644 .htaccess
chmod 0 setup

oh.. well what i told you to do is to write the htaccess file manually... there is also a way to chmod files by running another file, but i dont know how... that youd have to ask someone else about
