the problem : uploading pics gives me this (2nd user accound)
Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in c:\www\cpg\include\picmgmt.inc.php on line 224

Warning: getimagesize(./albums/edit/preview_cda9ef17.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\www\cpg\include\picmgmt.inc.php on line 226
 
i'm guessing (well , not exacly guessing..) that my file permissions are not set on the gallery directories , but.. anyone know how to change those permissions under windows 98?? can't find em anywhere...

Try using GD2 and see if the same problem persists.  If not, it may be an improperly configured ImageMagick installation.

As for proper configuration of Windows 98 and Apache, even Apache doesn't recommend using 98, and I have yet to see any installation guides that say more than "don't use 98", one of the reasons being the total lack of file permission support.  Hopefully someone out there can give you some guidance, but if you can I highly recommend upgrading to either 2000 or XP. (XP Home isn't recommended either)

With a machine with only 350 MHz I wouldn't recommend using Win2000 or Windows XP - instead, use Linux without a full graphical user interface when in regular server mode (only use the GUI when setting up the server). Although it is a bit harder to set up in the first place if you have never dealt with Linux before, it will be great fun to learn how to do this.
