Now that [[Gallery3|Gallery]] isn't being maintained anymore, [http://piwigo.org Piwigo] may be good replacement for having photo galleries on a SME Server. This is a first attempt of a "How to"...
Log in to a shell as user root and enter the following commands<br />
=== Install ImageMagick ===
:$ yum install ImageMagick
=== Create a MySQL database for Piwigo ===
:$ mysqladmin create 'piwigo' –default-character-set=utf8
=== And create a MySQL user for the new database ===
:$ mysql
: > grant insert,update,delete,create,alter,drop on piwigo.* to piwigo@localhost idenfied by 'my_secret_password';
: > flush privileges;
: > quit;
Of course, "my_secret_password" should be replaced with a password of your own choice.<br />
=== Download and install the source code for Piwigo ===
:$ cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html
:$ wget http://piwigo.org/download/dlcounter.php?code=latest -O piwigo.zip
:$ unzip piwigo.zip
:$ rm piwigo.zip
:$ mv piwigo photos
:$ chown root.web -R photos
:$ chmod g+w -R photos
=== Setup Piwigo ===
In a browser, open http://yourserver.com/photos, and fill out the form
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Host || localhost
|-
| User || piwigo (the database user)
|-
| Password || my_secret_password (the database user's password)
|-
| Database name || Piwigo
|-
| Database table prefix || piwigo_
|}
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Webmaster login || myuser (user name of your own choice, for administration of Piwigo)
|-
| Webmaster password || mypassword (password of your own choice)
|-
| Webmaster mail address || myuser@myserver.com (mail address shown on the Piwigo site)
|}
Click "Start Installation"
=== Adding photos ===
Hopefully everything will then be set up to your satisfaction, and you can start adding photos.
=== Importing from Gallery ===
If you have previously used Gallery, Piwigo can import the images, comments etc. from your albums there. Checkout the Menalto2Piwigo-plugin
