Probably, you need

- location \.(php|shtml)$ {
+ location ~ \.(php|shtml)$ {

but the .php and .shtml files should be anyway handled by "location /".

It's surprise for me that PHP sees

SCRIPT_FILENAME    /usr/local/apache/htdocs/galleries/123/1
SCRIPT_NAME        /galleries/123/1
PATH_INFO          /galleries/123/1

and understands that it needs to look script in /galleries, but not
in /galleries/123/1.
