Title: Cannot see Albums when password protected

Due to an error on my part, I had to start from scratch. Database and everything.

I've uploaded CPG 1.5.20 and set everything up.

I added two Categories, and within that should be 2 albums each. They're password protected.

I can't figure out why they do not show up. If I remove the password they will show.

Next time, save yourself some time and search the docs and this forum, but...

Config >> File settings >> Show private album icon to unlogged user

For all current and future readers - make backups.

This is of course very important, but in yuppicide's case just some patience probably would have saved him/her the effort to start from scratch, see here (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,74792.0.html) and have a look at the time stamps :o

Thanks for the replies. Fixed it with that config setting.

Part of the problem is I don't use the software that often as others here would. I don't have users. I may not have as many albums or photos are other people.

My company asked me to find a password protected solution to allow valid customers to see our pictures without us sending them an actual catalog.

It was hard to find something that would work with Yahoo! because a lot of things require .htaccess and Yahoo! doesn't allow you to change that. I would never choose Yahoo! as a webhost myself.. they're overpriced for what features you get.
