Yes, it is up to you where to add the link to the gallery as different people will want to add it in different places. If you are unsure of how to add a link I believe there is a post in the hacks forum with more detailed instructions.
As for the error, I don't see how it's printing out the config file like that. Did you make any changes to the files. Also, your $forumpath line should be something more like this:

$forumpath = '/home/mytract/public_html';

one question: the inmstructions said
'Now you will need to chmod the /galleryt/files folder to 777:

i did not do that.. rather, i did not know how to do that..

could that be the issue?

I have no clue how that would be happening. If you'd like to submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here though I'll be glad to take a look.

Thanks Brian..
(he fixed it)
can someone who knows explain to me how i would have done this?

Now you will need to chmod the /galleryt/files folder to 777:


that was the problem
