Hello;
it seems that it is not the first time you face to this problem.
The script cannot read in your file "config.php" to connect to any database.

You should perhaps edit the file "config.new.php", provided in the archive you downloaded.
You should add your datas (provided by your host), like this:

$db_password = "your_database_password";

$table_prefix = "4images_";

define("4IMAGES_ACTIVE", 1);

?>

All red datas has to be filled by your own datas and are case sensitive. (eg: "MyPassword" is different to "mypassword").

Once done, save this file with name "config.php", and upload it to the root of your gallery, where "index.php" is.

Better said: http://3moonsbuilders.com/passionatepixels/4images/config.php.

Hope you'll solve it, because I can't know if your database has been populated.

Feel free to ask any help. :)

Hello again;
please what is your 4images script version?
And wich MODs have you installed.
Maybe the problem is just a MySQL5 compatibility issue.

ERROR: Could not load configuration settings!

means at installation mysql tables are not created..

delete config.php

I have the same problem.  I resaved and uploaded the config.php file, but when I reinstall it goes blank.  I don't know what else to try.

Edit:  I got past that, now I am stuck on #6:

  6. You must ensure you remove "install.php" and any "update_*_to_*.php" files.
     Additionally you may delete all files in "data/database/default" and
     the "docs" directory if you wish.

All I get are blank pages, or it tries to go to the install.php file, which I deleted.  I can't find how to login anywhere either.
