I just started debugging on this problem and I found out that the
function "readdir" causes all this trouble. For some reason it is not
reading directories and only some file names.

I don't know yet why this happens, but I will keep looking for it.

sounds like a permissions issue.

you need to ensure that whatever user Apache runs as , has read and write
access to the gallery directories, using chown/chmod command.

in most cases the user is "apache", but it might be different for you.

ps -ef | grep -i "httpd" | awk {'print $1'}

will give you a list of who is running the httpd processes.
