Nice, thanks. I'll keep this for future reference. FWIW, I got some packages
from EPEL that weren't available from the CentOS-base and rpmforge repos,
like jhead or something like that. It really did come in handy, so thanks
again.

Anyway, spent some time yesterday afternoon and evening and got Gallery2
running. I think I secured mysql properly as well as the gallery2 folders
and files. At least config.php is not readable by the world. Uploaded some
albums as well.

Only thing left is to figure out to disable commenting completely.

One strange thing I ran into was that mysqld wasn't available if I installed
mysql from the CLI. If I installed it using the Add/Remove applet in the
Start menu it was. I found that a bit strange...

For those interested, have a look at
http://home-skynet.servehttp.com/gallery2/main.php. Birds, motorcycles and
flowers. Mirrors my interests pretty well, not necessarily in that
particular order. And yeah, it's me on the green VFR. ;-)

*** Thanks all for really good help with this! ***
