PHP magic_quotes_gpc

Strict Permissions [is not in effect]
Warning!
When this option is not in effect, file and folder permissions are relaxed. This could constitute a security risk so it is recommended that you enable Strict Permissions. However, on some servers Zenphoto does not function correctly with strict file/folder permissions. If you enable this option and Zenphoto has permission errors, run setup again and disable the option.
Click here to use strict file/folder permissions.
NOTE: This option applies only to new files and folders created by Zenphoto. You may have to change permissions on existing ones to resolve problems.
MySQL setup in zp-config.php

Error!
Could not connect to the MySQL server. Check the user, password, and database host and try again.

Warning!
Perhaps there was a problem with the upload. You should check the following files:
zp-core/zp-config.php.source
.htaccess file (RewriteEngine is ON)
.htaccess RewriteBase is /zenphoto
albums folder [albums is not writeable and setup could not make it so]
Error!
Change the permissions on the albums folder to be writable by the server (chmod 777 albums)
cache folder [cache is not writeable and setup could not make it so]
Error!
Change the permissions on the cache folder to be writable by the server (chmod 777 cache)

You need to address the problems indicated above then run setup.php again.

You need to find out these data. Contact your host about that.
Also you need to check the permissions on the zenphoto folders:

Also you might want to ask your host to disable safe mode which is considered bad practice and will cause Zenphoto not to work correctly: http://www.zenphoto.org/2009/03/troubleshooting-zenphoto/#34
