Yupp, that's what I did.

I had some other problems with a folder listing being visible for some reason 
on someurl.com/gallery2, so I ended up installing Gallery1 instead, but this 
one couldn't process any pictures because it though Image Magick and/or Netpbm 
wasn't installed (it was...), but the folder listings weren't there at least. 
I'll probably end up installing Gallery2 anyway. Need to read up on mysql and 
apache some more though, it might be a good idea anyway. The whole thing is 
resting right now. 8-)

Thanks for the hint though.
