I tried to access the site specified in install, and it appears to be a online computer store or something, nothing about zenphoto... the prolem is that i am kind of stupid regarding the install of zenphoto... what are the other 4 steps mentioned in that file?
If someone has the install file... pls copy/paste here in a msg. 10x
I'm also having problems with the installation. This may be due to my hosting provider but I haven't figured out what I may be missing.
As far as the instructinos go, to install ZP as I understood you should go to your site with the directory for zenphoto and run the setup.php. Mine is /zen/setup.php. When your done with that you can login to /zen/admin.php to start uploading photos and start testing stuff out.
Here are the primary installation instructions (copy and pasted):
Step 1: Edit the config.php.example file and rename it to config.php. You can find the file in the "zen" directory.
Step 2: Edit the .htaccess file in the root zenphoto folder if you have the mod_rewrite apache module, and want cruft-free URLs. Just change the one line indicated to make it work.
Step 3: Change the permissions on the 'albums' and 'cache' folders to be writable by the server (chmod 777 cache) (not necessary on Windows servers)
Step 4: Come back to this page (just reload it if you're ready) and click "Go!"
I'd appreciate it if someone could personally take a look at what I'm doing or maybe a checklist to figure out what I'm missing (mod-rewrite, gd or whatever).
Thanks.
Checked via the php info function to see what's enabled and it looks that I have all the requirements. That would leave the problem somewhere with the .htaccess file (path, like many others) or I know see that the problem is with that I put zp up on a subdomain/shared hosting sort of thing. Anyone care to help me with the workarounds?
If you are sure you have all the reqs, you can always try the suggestion about hard coding the paths in this topic:
Well things are finally working more or less for me with version version 1.0.1 Beta and the following: 1.) I moved the installation from the subdomain to the root domain + subfolder 2.) Turned mod_rewrite to False in the config.php file.
I guess I was always able to install zp fine, but then i would have navigation errors with the admin pages and the gallery/thumbs would never show up or populate.
So does this mean all of my difficulties as of yet have been strictly do to my webhost?
Thanks,
Stav
