Thanks, Ben. Everything is working now. Setting the mod_rewrite to off was done in 2016 as a work around for a web server problem.
I've now found two areas in the php code generated by the 2.0.10 update where the URL pointers are incomplete, given that my Backlight installation resides in a "photos" folder rather than the root folder of my website.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/backlight/?m=publisher&c=gallery&a=stylesheet&p1=style&p2=41" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/photos/backlight/modules/pangolin-core/static/css/font-awesome.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/photos/backlight/modules/pangolin-core/static/css/fonts.css" />
<script src="/backlight/?m=publisher&c=gallery&a=javascript&p1=scripts&p2=41"></script>
I have created a test static php page using the full "/photos/backlight..." pointer in both the css and script lines. This static page appears to work as intended.

However, I think the script line (elsewhere) may have also affected my ability to upload files from Lightroom. Please note that the 2.0.9 update worked with no problems.
I hope this helps with troubleshooting.
Thanks, I appreciate your help.
I looked at the source code for one of my pages. The first line below may point to the css problem. Should that line point to /photos/backlight like the other two? Also the code that follows (?m=publisher&c=gallery&a=stylesheet&p1=style&p2=19"/) is unlike what I've found on The Turning Gates demonstration pages. Any thoughts? Thanks

It's https://www.lazeut.com/photos/ so nothing there. I did notice that that the last announced update was 2.0.9. Did I stumble upon something I shouldn't have, has there been an official 2.0.10 release? I installed the 2.0.9 release when it came out and have had smooth sailing up until today.
Unfortunately, that has no effect. I also made a brief comparison between the on-line files and an off-line backup but nothing seems to have gone missing. Curiously (or perhaps not), the page linked to the root index file formats correctly, unlike the gallery pages. See
I was updating the photo for one of my mastheads when I noticed that there were some module updates available (2.0.10 for admin, designer, and framework). However, after doing the updates (including subsequent reinstall efforts and cache dumping), the gallery pages appear without any formatting. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I recently installed Backlight2. Everything went smoothly and I've uploaded files to existing albums. Yesterday, I purchased the Theater Add-on and it's installation went smoothly as well. However, when I go to the Designer module I can no longer save design changes. I get the following error message "Unable to save settings: The page could not be found." I can create albums and delete them, but I can't modify their design. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Ben, thanks for your prompt resolution of the issues with my installation. I'm looking forward to populating the site properly over the next few days. Richard
I'd be glad to give you FTP access. Should I send you the ID and password in your "Contact the Authors" form?
I checked the Php Info and the hosting requirements are met (the host is at networksolutions.com). Both the index.php and .htaccess files (from Pages) are in the /photos/ directory. I've tried 4 clean installations, 2 to the root and 2 to /photos/ directory both with and without the Pages module. Always the same result. The site url and company url in Backlight both point to http://www.lazeut.com/photos/ which was the install default. There is a pre-exisitng .htaccess in the root directory. Its contents: "Options -Indexes." Since the genealogy program works fine in the same environment, I'm baffled. What should I look for that might cause a redirect? Thanks.
I've installed Backlight+Pages in a subdirectory (/photos). I want to retain a well-established homepage. A root-directory installation overides my existing index.html page. My intent for the software is not commericial--just to share photos with friends and families.
I am able to upload albums from Lightroom. However, the display looks nothing like the demos and lacks most functionality. The only page that looks like the demo is the search page and it seems to function fine. I am hosting a php-based genealogy program in another sub-directory of the same domain, without problem. When I use the Backlight dashboard to list Php modules (lazeut.com/?check), it just goes to my root homepage (perhaps a clue?). I would appreciate any thoughts as to resolve my problem
