- | ====== 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.\\ | ||
- | External links to official sites: [[http://www.php.net/|{{fr:php-logo.gif}}]] and [[http://www.mysql.com/|{{fr:mysql.gif}}]] | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Which Servers can I use? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Preferably an Apache server running on Linux.\\ | ||
- | IIS on a Windows 2000 sever works fine as well.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | Mac OSX works also! | ||
- | * For 10.3.x users, the version of PHP shipped with the O/S is NOT enabled for gd2, which means you will not be able to generate thumbnails (and probably not be able to do other things as well). A binary PHP5 package for 10.3.9 is available [[http://www2.entropy.ch/download/Entropy-PHP-5.1.2-1.dmg|here]]. | ||
- | * If you end up with a blank page while attempting to generate thumbnails for the first time, you probably don't have a gd-enabled PHP installation. See above. | ||
- | |||
- | 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 **Php**WebGallery, 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) | ||
- | * US/UK ISP or any Hosts/Providers are obviously invited to complete list hereunder :) or above :( | ||
