I wanted to set the permissions properly, so I read the online user manual and set the file permissions in the albums to 660 and the folder permissions to 770, as recommended. At first my site didn't come up at all.
I changed permissions back to 777 folders and 755 files (some of the files are 644) and the ZenPhoto site is back but the Gallery albums aren't. Now I have this error message:
Zenphoto Error

On my other site where the Images folder needs to be set to 777, the tech guys suggested uploading an .htaccess file in all the images directories with this snippet of code in it. I think it's resolved some problems people were having, with hacking:
`
order allow,deny
allow from all
order allow,deny
allow from none
`
You may add other extensions to that snippet. I'm thinking I might do this instead since changing the permissions hasn't worked out too good. But I need to get the site functional again before I can do this.
What permissions are recommended for the albums, then?
