Thijs,

Thank you for a humane response.

I'm running Woody that is pretty stock, with Apache and PHP.  I was
happy to see the Gallery package.  I've had Gallery running on
another machine (RedHat), supporting a photo gallery for my
highschool graduating class and have been wanting to move it to the
Debian machine.  So, I installed it the way that Alexander so
graciously and painstakingly described in his first response.  There
were no errors, so I clicked the button to go on to the next page
and all that happens is the page reloads.

When that process failed several times, I downloaded version
1.4.3-pl2 to the server using wget, and installed.  It goes through
the entire install process with no errors.  Then after invoking
"secure.sh" I try to display index.php in my browser.  All I get is
an error message saying "Document contains no data".

It wasn't until late last night, after struggling for quite some
time, that I remembered that it wouldn't install (either way,
Alexander) on my other Woody machine.  I'd really like to move my
gallery off the RedHat machine.  It's a Pentium 90 and I'd like to
retire it.

Thank you again, Alexander and Thijs.
