I am getting same problems as Scenicmusic. I know it is an issue with the .htaccess file and the redirect. I can manuely put in:
http://www.allwheelphotos.com/cpg143/useralb.php?user=AWJunkies and it will go to my gallery (so the php file is correct and functional). SO why does it not work when I put in: http://www.allwheelphotos.com/cpg143/AWJunkies ?? I have tried putting the .htaccess file in root directory of coppermine install which would be (public_html/cpg143/) and I have tried putting it in the (public_html) niether are working but your test with the google .htaccess file works in both of these sections.

I got it to work! Dam awesome mod! Thanks guys. Put the .htaccess file with the following code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\./]+)$ useralb.php?user=$1
under your coppermine root directory (public_html/gallery) or (public_html/photos) or in my case (public_html/cpg143)
Hope this helps some of the people who are having issues or would be.
I also have a LOT of mods to share with the community and I will get to it in due time.

NOW to go even further I changed the .htaccess file too:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\./]+)$ cpg143/useralb.php?user=$1
and put it into my root directory on server being public_html. This causes
http://www.allwheelphotos.com/AWJunkies link to the album for that user rather then having them put in copermine directory. MUCH easier and better for user and looks better. Hope this helps some people as well
