X3Photo Gallery Forums

That is exactly how I would do it.

Just make sure X3 (minimal install) is working before you start importing config and content.

Can't confirm, see screenshot below. This could potentially happen on your side for a couple of reasons ... For example if the X3 website is available from a different url with "~treypent", and then this specific url is cached. That's why you should only access X3 from a single primary url, else how should X3 know what is the correct link paths to cache? It could theoretically be something related to rewrite or .htaccess, but this doesn't seem likely.

RewriteBase is mainly used for some servers if X3 is installed in a subdir, and under rare circumstances also if installed in the root dir. However, this can't automatically add "~treypent" into the url path

Well, the logo doesn't seem to be there "404 not found". Is it actually there? Then it must have received some incorrect file permissions.

The logo itself gets 644 when uploaded, and I see that most directories have 700, and the .json file in the logo directory has 600.

I'm uploading the logo via the X3 interface so it's not clear to me what could be happening. I've tried .png and .svg.

Well, this is a permissions issue. X3 itself doesn't set permissions, but the upload permissions could get affected by permissions of file that uploads them. By default, under normal server conditions, all dirs on your server should be 755 and files should be 644, all owned by the same "user". X3 itself never sets permissions, because files will/should just inherit the default permissions of the owner. What happens when you try to upload a normal image in another dir? X3 certainly doesn't set specific permissions only for uploaded logos.

Either your application files have inherited wrong permissions on install, or content files have inherited wrong permissions depending on how they were transferred, or your server has some special permissions masks for certain dirs. 

It seems like you might have different USERS for web/PHP vs the user (FTP?) that transferred the files?
