Many thanks to Ilya Azarov who answered my plea for assistance and supplied his nginx rewrite rules for Gallery2. I won’t claim to understand why his work and mine didn’t (although previously I wasn’t aware that you could nest location directives so that was something I hadn’t tried). They still can’t cope with spaces in file names but I can live with that.
Looks like you’re using older version of nginx on ubuntu. Ubuntu 7.04 contains older packages.
I use 0.5.xx versions. For now – 0.5.26
That’s true. I ran in to problems compiling the first time I tried and took the coward’s approach. I’ll give it another go when I have time if only to add in SSL support.
