can't install (dreaded "Albums directory" error)

I've searched all over these forums and tried everything, but nothing works.

I was able to set-up ZenPhoto, but when I tried to go to the Admin page, it gave the famous "Albums directory not found or readable".

To confirm, YES, my host supports mod_rewrite, so I enabled it and edited the .htaccess file.

YES, I chmodded both the cache and albums folder in my ZenPhoto directory to 777.

I'm using GoDaddy webhosting (Economy plan w/ Linux).

For your reference, here's a dump of my config.php file. Nothing special though.
