PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /.../zenphoto/index.php on line 5

I have found a couple post that refer to the non-object, but I didn't find a resolution.

This is a new install, I removed the mod_rewrite and hard coded the paths. Albums and cache are 777.

The images, thumbs are fine...just the gallery page and individual albums are blank.

index.php on line 5 refers to "$theme = $_zp_gallery->getCurrentTheme();"

So I am assuming something with the theme...but these are the default themes that came with ZenPhoto.

?? TIA!!

did you modify the index.php of zenphoto in any way, change any files other than zp-config.php?

nope did not modify the index.php file:

<?php
require_once("zen/template-functions.php");
$themepath = 'themes';

$theme = $_zp_gallery->getCurrentTheme();

$_zp_themeroot = WEBPATH . "/$themepath/$theme";

header ('Content-Type: text/html; charset=' . zp_conf('charset'));

if (in_context(ZP_IMAGE)) {
include("$themepath/$theme/image.php");
} else if (in_context(ZP_ALBUM)) {
include("$themepath/$theme/album.php");
} else if (in_context(ZP_INDEX)) {
if (isset($_GET['p'])) {
$page = str_replace(array('/','\\','.'), '', $_GET['p']);
include("$themepath/$theme/$page.php");
} else {
include("$themepath/$theme/index.php");
}
}

?>

The error being on that line, and the specific error message, means $_zp_gallery is not being set correctly. There's no explanation for this, as the gallery is always instantiated in the global context and never changed.

Did you modify template-functions.php?

Try re-installing from scratch.

Lastly, can we see? URL?

Nope - did not modify the template functions. I will reinstall, and if it's the same problem I will post the URL...

Well the reinstall worked. Didn't do much different than the first install - chalked it up to either a bad transfer or I used "!" and "<" in the database and zenphoto passwords which I removed.

Probably just a bad file somewhere. Thx for the help....
