FastCGI has claimed its first victim. Byrne's Photo Gallery template set, and any other that dynamically switches the menu in Movable Type, does not work well with FastCGI. Since MT is cached into memory, every time I want to edit our Photo Gallery I have to restart Apache, this is not optimal. At all. Sadly I don't think there is anything that can be done. For those not familiar with the command line, this is how you restart Apache:
service apache restart
I don't want to leave you with nothing to look at, so I will leave you with this: a close-to-complete Entry template for our photo gallery. That URL will be broken soon, so if you are reading this very much past August 4, just look at the main Photo Gallery site. I have a little bit more work to do yet, but I have essentially taken the Mid-Centry Photo Gallery template and added the needed CSS to make it look like our BG Views site. Still having problems with commenting, though.
Byrne has released 2.4.2 of Photo Gallery which he states adds FastCGI support, but still requires a restart of Apache.
