I'm having trouble with the installation. I'm a total noobie and I liked that this gallery was supposedly easy to install, however, this is taken me all day and I'm not having an easy time. HELP??

I performed the set-up and now I can access the overview admin page, but when I click on any of the other tabs: comment, upload, edit, themes, etc... it says:

Not Found
The requested URL /zp-core/admin-comments.php was not found on this server.

and when I click on view gallery in upper right it says: No input file specified.

What do I need to do to get this image gallery running?

    Can you give us some details? How & where is the software installed? Were there any warnings from the setup program? What version of Zenphoto is it?

    Thanks sbillard. I'm trying to install ZenPhoto 1.2.5. I uploaded the extracted zen folder into the directory containing all the html files for our website on our server, which allowed me access to the set-up. I had a few warning messages come up:

    1) You should consider disabling magic_quotes_gpc.
    2) Locale functionality is not implemented on your platform
    3) Setting mbstring.internal_encoding to UTF-8 in your php.ini
    4) You should consider porting your data to UTF-8 and changing the collation of the database fields fields to utf8_unicode_ci

    I called my host provider and went through each error. They told me not to worry about any of these because the magic quotes is just a suggestion and the items 2-4 deal with foreign characters I won't need.

    I have attempted to edit the php.ini file, which I have downloaded, changed the mbstring.internal_encoding to utf-8, saved and re-uploaded to our server. It seems the program is not detecting this change.

    When I press go at the end of the setup, I can access my admin page, but nothing else from there. Does this help? Again, sorry, I wish I was more knowledgeable in this area. I appreciate the help.

    can you browse directly to `/zp-core/admin-comments.php`? That is, type in the URL rather than using the link.

    Yes, I can navigate to them, but I had to add zenphoto: http://www.graphicconservation.com/zenphoto/zp-core/admin-upload.php etc.

    I had tried moving the zp-core directory out of the zenphotos directory and placing it into the same directory as my html files , because the urls for the pages which couldn't be found didn't have the "zenphoto" directory in it. But I couldn't get that to work.

    When I browse directly, I can see the pages, but I can't get the photo upload to work or see any images, thumbnails or the theme screenshots.

    Something then is not working correctly on your site with relative links. The tabs will all have links like `admin-upload.php` but since you are already browsing in `<yoursite>/zenphoto/zp-core/' that should be prepended to the link. Sorry, but I do not know what would cause that not to happen.

    Hmmm, I really want to get this image gallery to work! Would it matter that our site is very old- designed in 1999? Perhaps there is something missing in my html which is causing this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to bail on this, I'm really excited about this image gallery.

    Sorry, I really do not know what is causing these links not to work. Something on the server, I suspect.

    Okay, well thanks anyway for your time.
