Art or photo gallery.

First thing, what has caused me I believe a lot of problems is my Windows operating system. I believe many Php programs are designed for Linux.

I have found finally after several weeks of looking for a gallery type program with some features like a bulletin boards I found Coppermine. It is fairly easy to install. Requires some other programs in order for it to work properly. However they are free as well.

I have even purchased some programs that did not work with, Abyss, and Coppermine works very well. However as I was saying it does require some other programs.

PHP5. This you can find on this web site and how to configure it.

MySQL. You can find out how configure it at, http://www.abyssunderground.co.uk/

phpMyAdmin. This program you can also learn how to configure at the, http://www.abyssunderground.co.uk/ and follow the instructions the same as you would be installing phpBB. The requirements are the same. Matter of fact you can run both. And share the same database.

Image Magick. This program has a Windows installer, it must be install on your C: hard drive, it should look like this, C:/ ImageMagick, there will be some questions, what to install, select all the options.

If their are any problems installation, it will tell you what's wrong. However if your able to install phpBB, nothing more than easy for you.

Good luck, and I wish you the best. And I hope this has helped you.

Firefly, thanks for your efforts.

But, a link to Coppermine would really help... http://coppermine-gallery.net
and posting a step-by-step tutorial would be more acceptable in this section.

Also, Image Magick is not "required" as Coppermine works just as well with the GD
library, which in most cases, would already be included with your PHP installation.

-Just some constructive criticism- ;)

Hi Moxxnixx
Thinks, for the link to Coppermine.
Coppermine, recommended very highly, Image Magick, besides like I said it has a Windows installer. Which makes life so much easier.
The information necessary to install, Coppermine, are exactly the same for installing phpBB. Is not really necessary to rewrite tutorials that would be exactly the same as what you would find at, Abyss Under Ground.

It is the tutorials at the Abyss Under Ground, that helped me in order to understand how to install, the Coppermine program. Did I pointe out, I am "DUMMY". And if I'm able to do it anyone should be able to do it easier than I.

There are a lot of things that will not work with, Abyss WebServer, and this one will, and I am pointing it out to the users here. To make life easier. :idea:

Firefly, I'm sure AbyssUnderground appreciates your enthusiasm for his good tutorials.
And, no, you are not a "DUMMY".
