The installer does not accept my login.txt, whats wrong?

0

There can be several possible reasons why you may not pass the authentication step of the installer: • Make sure you created / uploaded the login.txt file in your Gallery 2 folder on the webserver (the parent folder of the install/ folder) and nowhere else • Make sure this login.txt contains just the authentication key (a 1 line string) • If you can pass the authentication step but loop / fall back to step 1 after advancing to step 3 or higher, then you should use a nightly snapshot / release newer than 2005/11/17 since cookieless installing was broken for a short period before this date (inproper PHP session configuration values can also lead to cookieless browsing) • Make sure your PHP session.save_handler is set to “files” and not to “user” (or “mm”). In development builds since 2005/11/27 or since Gallery 2.1, you shouldn’t have to worry about this setting (unless PHP ini_set / ini_get are disabled in your PHP installation). You can check these PHP configuration values in a phpinfo
