Register globals
Gallery highly recommends that the PHP option 'register_globals' be turned off, for security purposes. Some software, notably the 'Geeklog' CMS, requires that 'register_globals' be enabled.

![Success! Success!](../images/green_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/success.gif) register_globals is off.

.htaccess processed by Apache
Allow the Gallery .htaccess file to set application specific configuration options for the Gallery application. This is controlled by the webserver owner so it's not always possible for you to change it. The main drawbacks to not having this are that you may not be able to upload files > 2MB (e.g. big ZIP files or movies).

![Success! Success!](../images/green_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/success.gif) Gallery is able to read your .htaccess file.

PHPs magic quotes off
Check to see if magic quotes are enabled on your PHP server. If they're on, you may notice strange behavior if you put ' (single-quote), " (double quote) or \ (backslash) characters in titles or captions in Gallery.

![Success! Success!](../images/green_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/success.gif) magic_quotes are off.

Apache mod_rewrite
Check to see if your webserver is compiled with mod_rewrite. This Apache module allows Gallery to use shorter URLs that are easier to read and look nicer when you mail them to your web-challenged relatives. It's not an essential feature.
|
|
![Warning, but optional. Warning, but optional.](../images/yellow_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/warning.gif) Either mod_rewrite is not installed or your .htaccess file is not enabled (see above).
Either way, we'll have to use longer URLs in the Gallery. If you want to turn it on, first make sure that your .htaccess file is being obeyed. If it still doesn't work, you may need to reconfigure and rebuild Apache with this flag: --enable-module=rewrite
|
Jhead installed
Check to see if jhead is installed so that Gallery can examine EXIF headers embedded in images created with most digital cameras.
|
|
![Warning, but optional. Warning, but optional.](../images/yellow_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/warning.gif) Can't find jhead.
|
jpegtran installed
Check to see if jpegtran is installed so that Gallery can perform lossless rotations on JPEG images.
|
|
![Warning, but optional. Warning, but optional.](../images/yellow_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/warning.gif) jpegtran was not found.
If it's installed and not in the path of the webserver user that's OK—you can specify the path by hand on the following page. If it's not installed, you can install it yourself. Jpegtran is a free tool distributed by the Independent JPEG Group as part of libjpeg. Source may be found at the IJG homepage. Binaries may be found at the JPEG Club website or in the libjpeg package of Linux distributions.

Gettext support in PHP
Check to see if PHP is compiled with GNU gettext support for fast translations.
|
|
![Success! Success!](../images/green_trafficlight.gif) |
![](../images/icons/notice/success.gif) PHP has GNU gettext support.
