While extensive PHP and mySQL knowledge is not needed to install snipe gallery, you will at least need create the database tables on your own, and you'll need to be able to use a text editor to make some edits to your configuration file. A normal installation should have you up and running in 10 minutes or less.
- Upload and unzip files to a directory on your webserver
- Verify that that the following empty directories have been created and change the directory permissions to be writeable by your webserver:
- /pics/
- /thumbs/
- /frame_imgs/
- /admin/cache/
- /admin/import/files/
- Change the settings in the /inc/config.php file to match your database settings and personal preferences. The configuration file is documented within the file itself - each configuration option is filled in with defaults that should work fine for you - with the exception of database details and pathnames - but you can read what each option does it in the file.
- Run the .sql file located in /docs/ to create the database tables for snipe gallery. YOU MUST DO THIS MANUALLY - the script does NOT do it for you.
If you have command line access to mySQL, you can simply import snipegallery.sql - otherwise you may download and install phpMyAdmin and upload or copy+paste from there.
- You will want to password protect your admin area using htaccess
- Point your browser to /admin to begin creating galleries and uploading images. If you run into any difficulties or error messages, be sure to check the settings page at /admin/settings/ to check for any problems that snipe gallery can detect for you.
- And that's it! Have fun!
- If you run into any problems, please post your questions on the Support forums .
