problem with zenfolder

Hi. I'm trying to launch ZenPhoto in a domain at Arvixe. Whenever I put zenphoto package in my root directory (elagraphy.com), zenPhoto successfully gets installed and I can upload a photo, but it doesn't show the photo in the gallery, neither the thumbnail nor the full image. The strange point is that the photo is available in the album folder but the browser doesn't have access to the image or to the album. When I add a directory to my root (elagraphy.com/zen) and this time put zenphoto package to that folder and setup it again, this time everything works and it shows the photos properly. I doubled checked the permissions of the uploaded photos and albums. In the former case it doesn't have read access while in the later form it does.

One solution is to use elagraphy.com/zen as my website, but I don't like it and want elagraphy.com to works properly. What is the solution? My initial guess is that something is wrong in uploader.php in the line that zenfolder is checked and when there is no zenfolder rather than the root directory it fails. I will appreciate if you help :)

    Zenphoto runs fine in the root of a webspace domain actually and must not be installed in a folder. If it doesn't you will have to review error logs. Or since Arvixe advertises Zenphoto hosting you probably should ask them why this doesn't work.

    The uploader does not require a "folder", it uploads to the `albums` folder. But you have to create albums within that, you cannot upload direclty to it.
