I know this is going to be a stupid question, but when I check off mod rewrite in options, all of my pages get a 404 error. If I uncheck, everything fine. I don't need mod rewrite, except as I understand, that is the only way to get the "lost password" on the login page.

Thanks

The reason for this is that the necessary `.htaccess` file is not present. This setup does tell you that and actually should create that file for you. If setup does not: There is a `htaccess` file template in `zp-core`. Copy that to the root of Zenphoto and rename it to `.htaccess`. Then re-run setup.

The "lost password" link on the login page should not require Mod_rewrite.

Hmmm "lost password" or "reset password" don't appear anywhere. I am using effervesence plus theme...any ideas?
Thanks,

You have to access the admin page to see the login form.
modrewrite link `/zenphoto/admin`
non modrewrite link `/zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php`

You will also not get this link if there is no e-mail address on record to send the mail to.
