I spend hours to embed my Gallery2 correct in Drupal.

I want to use my Gallery2 embedded in Drupal(6) and I want to use my Gallery2 also . To get this don I needed to wire the .htaccess files manually.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the dir gallery for your stand alone Gallery2 installation. This conflicts with Drupal gallery.module.

Gallery2 Stand Alone

I named my Gallery2 directory /path/to/gallery2
When I point my browser to http://www.DOMAINNAMEN.com/gallery2 I get my Stand Alone Gallery2 installation. To make this work is't important to:

• add /gallery2/ to each RewriteCond in the .htaccess file from Gallery2. This is de .htaccess file in your gallery2 directory.
• Add a Alias in the Apache virtual host setup for this domain.
  So in the file /etc/apache/site-available/www.DOMAINNAME.com I added a line line this
  Alias /gallery2 /path/to/www.DOMAINNAME.com/gallery2
  
  Normally all request for the domain ends up in the root Drupal directory. (/path/to/drupal). All request are handled by Drupal. So Gallery2 doesn't get the change to do anything for some stand alone work. To hack that problem all request to www.DOMAINAME.com/gallery2 must be re routed to the gallery2 directory on the file system (/path/to/www.DOMAINNAME.com/gallery2. The Alias line provides that.

.htaccess files

This is my .htaccess file in /path/to/drupal/. I only show the relevant section of the .htaccess file. There are more lines in it but they are not important for Galley2 embedding

/path/to/drupal/.htaccess
