I was setting up nGallery on my server and ran across a small issue. The problem was that I was installing nGallery as a virtual folder under a sub folder running dasBlog. Therein lied the problem, since dasBlog adds three httpModules which are dependant on assemblies(dlls) in the dasBlog\bin folder. So my first step to solve the problem was to copy the dasBlog assemblies to the nGallery\bin.

Everything seemed to work fine until I tried browsing the images which ended with just a blank page. Sensing that dasBlog was the troublemaker I went and removed it in the web.config with this setting and presto everything works fine (nGallery running as a virtual directory under dasBlog). If only I can avoid having the dasBlog assemblies in nGallery…

  <system.web>
      <httpModules>
                  <removename="ControlImageModule"/>
                  <removename="UrlMapperModule"/>
                  <removename="CompressionModule"/>
      </httpModules>
