Zen Photo Start-Up Issue

joe904

Hey Guys,

I just installed Zen Photo on my web server. It installs with no visible issues, and I set-up the admin user name and password. When I close down the browser and go back to the web page, I only see the words " Gallery - You can insert your Gallery description on the Admin Options Gallery tab." There is also a search box. There is no Log-in for the user or any other tabs for me to click. Basically all I see when I go to my website is the page you get after you Log Off. I tried opening IE to see what would happen, but I get the same screen. I am using IIS8 on Windows Server 2016. I appreciate any help.

There is by default no public login link. What you see is the standard Basic theme front end logically without any content as you haven't added anything yet. The login link is under `/admin` or without modrewrite `/zp-core/admin.php`.

Thank you for replying to my post. The info was awesome BUT, when I try to point my IIS physical path to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\Photos\zp-core\admin.php it tells me there is no directory. In the folder zp-core there is already an index.php that the webserver is picking up. I tried using http://localhost/web/Photos/zp-core/admin.php on the server and it works as it should. Any help is much appreciated.

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\Photos\zp-core\admin.php it tells me there is no directory

That's correct. `admin.php` is not a directory but a file.
Try C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\Photos\

Maybe I wrote misunderstandably with path to your install of course the webpath is meant and not the full server path. You want to use it within the (local) web server. So something like `http://localhost/` would be the address to use.
