Good news! Yippee! I finally installed Zenphoto (with some help from my host). Then I set my Admin info and password and put the gallery in "test mode" so it's closed to the public at the moment.

Now a really dumb newbie question.

After I log out of Zenphoto/Admin where do I go to log back into my zenphoto admin panel?

I just need to know I can get back in after I log out. Is it from Mysql or a file in Site Manager and htdocs?

Talk about jumping in head first and learning as you go! LOL

    Okay, I think I found it but just to be sure would it be:

    mysite.com/gallery/zp-core/admin.php

    Yes, or even shorter if using modrewrite: `mysite.com/gallery/admin`. You can also enable the userlogin-out plugin for a link.

    Documented here, too:

    Thank you!

    There is a user_login_logout plugin but it says it "provides a means for users to login/out from your theme pages."

    I'm afraid the link about backend login and modrewrite is all Greek to me.

    I can't figure out how or where to set mysite.com/gallery/admin.

    Do I have to insert some code somewhere?

    Enable the plugin. All official themes have it built in.

    If you have modwrite `mysite.com/gallery/admin` works. Your server needs to support that. Otherwise `mysite.com/gallery/zp-core/admin.php` is the right link.

    If your server supports it you can enable modrwrite links on the options. It should be on if your server supports it after setup. The urls to Zenphoto items are then nicer. As explained here:

    I couldn't find anything about mod rewrite on my hosting but in forums they say it is built in. I have to look more but it looks like I would use .htaccess to do it.

    Then again I could just learn to appreciate that my urls are pretty just the way they are. :-)

    I can always change it later when I learn more...right?

    Thanks!

    If you have modrewrite Zenphoto will create a htaccess file for you. You can do so on re-running the setup scripts (button on the admin overview page) if it isn't there for some reason. htaccess is needed although the most urls are not generated by htaccess exactly but internally. There is an option to enable the link then if you have support for it.
