Any one know of a good (and hopefully free) turn-key photo gallery that I could add to my discountasp.net accounts? Anyone ever try to get nGallery ( http://www.ngallery.org ) to work on discountasp.net? Thanks --Koz
Yes. We tested installing nGallery on our servers. http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10198 Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
So their instructions call for setting up a virtual directory: Installing from Source with the .ZIP file 1.) Install the source on the target machine (be it with the installer, or the zip file). 2.) Create a virtual directory called 'nGallery' that points to nGalleryWeb folder in your new directory that contains the nGallery source. 3.) Update the file permissions on the data/ directory so that the ASP.NET worker process has write permissions to this directory (NOTE: This is only necessary if using the XML datastore). 4.) Update the file permissions on the photos/ directory so that the ASP.NET worker process has write permissions to this directory. This is so the upload facilities have the correct entitlements to upload without error. 5.) Make sure your FTP account has permissions/access to the upload/ directory, if you plan to use the Bulk Add features. How do you get around this? We can set that up on our own, can we?

Thanks for your help, I should learn to not be so literal in following generic instructions! Stupid me. .. Basically you ignore their instruction about the virtual directory setup and just rename the folder from nGalleryWeb to nGallery...or else you go in and re-code all the paths, but it looks like doing a rename is a lot quicker.
