Gallery showing as Index page

This is bound to be something simple.
I have been forced to change hosting services over the weekend and I have had a few twitches to sort out and Ben has helped tremendously in fixing .htaccess & phplugins issues plus noting that I had not uploaded all the content for my blog so all those bits are sorted, including the https stuff. It is bed time in Oz at the moment

The problem I'm having is with the galleries menu. It seems corrupted but I may be the corruptor. If you click on Galleries it presents an Index of page. I republished everything yesterday having deleted it via Publisher in Backlight thinking that it what I should do having moved hosts. I'm sure I've seen this Index listing before but that was way back in CEn days.

As always, grateful for any pointers. At least I have a green padlock now and for the first time in ever I  now have access to cPanel so that was a new experience for me.
www.tjowens.com should display the error.

Re: Gallery showing as Index page

until Ben gets back and can take a look have you tried the Update Album Files link on the Backlight > Publisher dashboard?

Is there an index.php file in the galleries/ folder? Besides the album and album set folders, I think you should be seeing:
.htaccess
error_log
gallery.xml
index.php
lib.php

Re: Gallery showing as Index page

Thanks Rod,
None of those actually so I'm not sure what happened there as i did a fresh install and used my data and custom folders from the old host.
Given their names I suspect they are critical!
I've spent 40 hours at the machine over this holiday weekend as the migration has taken place! My eyes are a tad tired now but luckily the weather has been atrocious so this stuff has kept me in the warm at least.

Re: Gallery showing as Index page

have you tried publishing a new album? Just thinking that might jump start the creation of those files like what happens when you create the first album.

When you go to Publisher > Top Level Galleries, is your galleries folder showing as a top-level gallery?

Re: Gallery showing as Index page

I've just pressed that link and the missing files from the root of galleries have been created and yes galleries is shown as top level. I'll go back into LR and move a few around now, as there is an orphan in my Edgelands gallery. I'll recreate some I deleted to see what happens.

Thanks for the prompt. I've been at this machine since 0442 this morning so a little jaded now but I can recommend Cloud-Tree here in the UK. They have given first class support all over the weekend as they help 1400 customers seek refuge with a new hosting company, and I have a full bag of tools to help me manage without waiting for 24 hours as with the previous hosting company.
