Installed Gallery through Softaculous

[ChrissD]

Hi,
I installed Gallery through Softaculous and it appeared to all work successfully, however, when I try and access anything it comes up with a 500 error. In a previous post relating to 500 errors I was advised the files would need the permissions 644 and 755, which they have, so I'm unsure as to why this is occurring. The README file doesn't contain anything relevant to this installation either.

EDIT:
I have just uninstalled it and installed it again manually creating the SQL database myself, it says that it installs fine, but as soon as I start to use it it comes up with error 500.

The Gallery3 install FAQ says the following

I get an error 500 when I visit my Gallery 3 install for the first time

This probably means that your webserver doesn't support the "php_flag" command in the .htaccess file provided with Gallery 3. Solutions are:

edit your php.ini file and set "short_open_tag" to 1
edit your apache configuration file to allow per-directory overriding of Options or All (note that this has implications to broad to discuss here):

<Location "/gallery3/">
AllowOverride +Options
</Location>

Also, check to ensure that mbstrings are enabled within your php.ini file. Edit your php.ini file and ensure that "extension=php_mbstring.dll" is uncommented.

I edited php.ini in gallery folder and it has

short_open_tag = On

which I believe is 1?

How do I do the above to fix it? Thanks!

Has anyone ever installed any versions of Gallery on X10? I'm still getting a 500 error and I'm fairly confidant it's not related to file permissions.

Ahh! Coppermine does work properly, so anyone who is having similar problems not getting Gallery to work, try Coppermine instead.
