PhpWebGallery (PWG) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Prior to installation

What do I need to know?

The PhpWebGallery Development Team (DT) answer is:

  • You're not alone using PWG.
  • Currently, close to 40,000 downloads were made last year.

Obviously that hasn't resulted in as many new sites rather, some people have downloaded successive new versions of PhpWebGallery and some people, owing to incompatible web-server set ups on some free ISPs, have not been able install PWG correctly.

What do I need?

DT:

  • A web-server with support for Php and MySQL.

Which Servers can I use?

Preferably an Apache server running on Linux.
IIS on a Windows 2000 sever works fine aswell.

To give an idea of your space requirements:

  • 100 High res images (corresponding to your images) ~75Mb.
  • 200 800x600px images and thumbnails ~15/20 Mb.
  • You dont just have to have the gallery on your site (what capacity!).
  • Videos?

PhP (the elephant): is “the” language behind PhpWebGallery, don't forget this. MySQL: is the database essential for running PhpWebGallery.

If you require more space than is available… less important data can be transfered to a “distant site”, that is to say, a second server containing less frequently accessed data.

If your ISP doesnt appear in the lists below and you know where to add it, please do so.

ISP setups that dont allow PhpWebGallery to function correctly:

  • Wanadoo (basic package)

ISP setups that allow correct functioning of PhpWebGallery:

  • Free
