Browse for http://example.com/gallery/any_nonexisting_string

I get:

Unable to initialize embedded Gallery. You need to configure your embedded Gallery.

The words "configure your embedded Gallery" contain a link pointing to

http://localhost/gallery/%3Cem%3E/admin/settings/gallery%3C/em%3E

Or, which is the same:

http://localhost/gallery/<em>/admin/settings/gallery</em>

...which clearly is a messed up code issue (probably due to missing out code needed which to be ported to drupal 5).

Are you using the latest 5.x-1.x-dev code (from Dec 31st)? I thought I'd fixed all these in that version and I just rechecked and could not find the error.

Title: Requesting wrong paths results in module errors » Requesting wrong paths results in confusing message

Updating gallery only fixes the <em>...</em> in the links but not the fact that browsing a nonexistent location gives the viewer (even anonymous) a pretty confusing error message with a link to the admin section. This is a major problem with viewers redirected from browsers with outdated indexes (i.e. pointing towards removed gallery items).

Instead, the default 404 message should be displayed.

Do you mean that you have URL Rewrite on and trying to access an unknown photo in your gallery install and it returns an error? If so, then this is a known issue (http://drupal.galleryembedded.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#I_get_.22PHP...) which currently I do not know how to fix, due to what Gallery2 is returning. I'm open to suggestion :-)

It does not just report 'an error', it reports the wrong error. I do not see

"PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object"

but

Unable to initialize embedded Gallery. You need to configure your embedded Gallery.

and in the drupal logs i get:

I do have URL-rewrite on but I don't see the message you say

Did you resolve this, my installation started doing the same thing today.

No I did not... It's not critical but I think it should get fixed. As I said, browsing a nonexistent gallery URL as anonymous (url-redirect on) and getting wrong and confusing error messages with links to the admin section is not a great thing. 404 would be the usual in those cases.
