Installation problem

[XenaGabbi]

Hi! I'm new with using Coppermine Photo Gallery and also having a gallery.Here's my problem:
I installed the gallery as said,and then I couldn't login - you know,there's a login link in the end of the installation - I clicked on it,and then nothing - a completely white page showed up and so it shows when I try to get in by typing the address.Can anyone help?

Thanks,I checked the FAQ and the documentation (also took a look at the rules - hope I remember them),but nothing about my problem (I'm not saying there isn't,maybe there is,but it didn't see it).
Oh,yeah,now I see that I haven't posted a link to my gallery,well there it is:

Make sure you have used the proper FTP mode when uploading your files and not some crap like a web FTP application or (even worse) and auto-installer provided by your webhost. To fix this use a real FTP app like FileZilla, get a fresh coppermine package and upload all files in it to your webspace (as if you were performing an upgrade).

P.S. On webhosting you usually get what you pay for: you appear to pay nothing at all, so that's probably what you get in return.

What do you mean the proper FTP mode?

[Joachim Müller]

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ftp+mode would have led you to

FTP can be run in active mode, passive mode and extended passive mode. Extended passive mode was added by RFC 2428 in September 1998.

While transferring data over the network, several data representations can be used. The two most common transfer modes are:

    * ASCII mode: only for plain text. (Any other form of data will be corrupted)
    * Binary mode: the sending machine sends each file byte for byte and as such the recipient stores the bytestream as it receives it. (The FTP standard calls this "IMAGE" or "I" mode)

[XenaGabbi]

The proper mode is Binary,right?  'Cause it's in binary mood now...
I'll try uploading the gallery again,using FileZilla,'cause last time I used two web FTP applications.

cause last time I used two web FTP applications.

That's the reason why it didn't work in the first place - that's why I said

in my previous posting. Why do you waste my time asking what the proper FTP mode is if you haven't even done as I suggested before and used a real FTP app.

The term "web FTP" is as misleading as "catholic porn": in fact it's a contradiction in terms: the www is http-driven as far as protocols are concerned. An http-driven web page can't actuall use the file transfer protocol (aka FTP).

Sorry I wasted your time.I did as you said - I uploaded the files using FileZilla and now everything is OK - I registered and the gallery is working properly.Thanks for the help.

P.S. Now when I think of it,when I uploaded the files through the web FTP app I didn't upload everything at once - I might have missed a file,anyway FileZilla  did the job.
