figured it out
So...my gallery installation was acting weird. The thumbnails were showing, but when you clicked on an image you wouldn't be able to see anything, just a blank background of the default theme.
I re uploaded the whole gallery directory, but that didn't fix the problem (no idea why) so I was about to post on the forum for gallery when I figured, why not take a look at my error logs.
[error] PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/djudd/docs/gallery /html_wrap/inline_photo.header.default on line 14
wtf? I took at look at that file (which should have reuploaded....but didn't for some reason) and sure as shit, on line 14 instead of // it had -/. Some how, when the power supply died, that file got magically corrupted so that only one little bit of information changed.
Changed it back and bam! everythings peachy again....weird.
