[TriLUG] Gallery/PHP Problem

[Randall Barlow]

Alright, so I've gotten past that particular error, but I'm still 
experiencing pretty similar problems.  Last night I was reading some 
things online, and some folks recommended erasing everything in the 
Gallery folder except the config file and the albums folder, and 
reinstalling.  Turns out that Gentoo also had an updated version 
available to me, so I upgraded too.  I first:

emerge --unmerge gallery

Then I:

emerge gallery

Afterwards, there was a command emerge told me to do to install Gallery 
to the /var/www/localhost/htdocs directory, so I did that too, and 
voila, I have a new version of Gallery with the same config and albums 
as before.  However, I'm still getting errors.  Sometimes, the system 
seems to "lock up".  It's not the machine that's locked up, because I'm 
writing this e-mail to you on it.  But the webbrowser just waits and 
waits, and apache/php never send it anything.  Other times it works just 
fine.  And sometimes I get this error:

*Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare makegalleryurl() (previously declared in 
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/gallery/lib/url.php:18) in 
*/var/www/localhost/htdocs/gallery/lib/url.php* on line *18

*I just don't get why the problems aren't reproducible.  Sometimes it 
works, sometimes it doesn't.  Anybody have any ideas?
