Images don't show up!

I just recently installed ZenPhoto on my website (http://photos.mattwjohnson.info). The installation process went really smoothly, so I tried to upload a few photos. The photos reported as being successfully uploaded yet they do not show up at all. I can pull the file off of the webserver via FTP and it works, so I know the file isn't corrupt, but it just won't show up on the website.

I've tried reassigning permissions as stated in the FAQ (644 files, 755 directories) to no avail.

Any assistance anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

    This is probably because you use bigger images dimension wise than your server can handle. Review the troubleshooting on that please.

    Thanks for submitting that potential issue. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case at all. Fortunately, it led me to discover the actual issue with the way the server was handling the mod.rewrite script. I ran the &debug command with the image URL and found that ZenPhoto did not believe the image existed. the mod.rewrite command was skipping the /album/ section of the URL (which, had mod.rewrite worked properly on my server wouldn't have been a problem), and was thus causing the image handler to look in the wrong directory for the photos.

    I had to disable mod.rewrite in both the .htaccess file, along with in the ZenPhoto admin options. Only be deactivating it in both these locations did the server fetch the proper image URLs.

    Thank a bunch for your help and have a nice day!

    Maybye your htaccess file was not setup correctly. Did setup report anything?
