Hi, how is everyone? I was wondering if anyone could help me out? Lets just say i'm a complete virgin to this kinda stuff. My HTML isn't bad so i decided to create a site of my own. I found it takes too long making my own image pages so i decided to download one of these PHP ones. I think my hosting package has all the requirements but i dont know where to get started. What's Apache? How do i put my images in the gallaries? Where on my server do i upload the gallary files? Which files DO i upload? I'm LOST! Any help would be much appreciated (<SP?)
RTFM...
Apache:

Thank you! Btw, do you know how i can upload the whole file to my host because otherwise it will take me all day doing them 1 by 1, thanks.
One question in a thread please but, unless you got remote control over the server you can not zip files and unzip it form a distance. As also stated in the readme and the faq, first unzip it all to your own Hard drive, then upload it.
Or you can ask your provider to install coppermine.
But if uploading the core files of coppermine already takes all day, how will you ever fill your albums with images...
I've already unzipped them, i'm trying to upload all the files in my 'file manager' but there are well over 100 files to upload plus the 'albums' sub-folders etc. I'm not entirely sure what to do tbh. I might just give up.
If you select all the files for upload it's just a matter of sit and wait I guess.
Don't give up :o
Once it's running you'll love it :)
If you are using the file manager in cpanel, you can create the folder where you want the gallery to be. Then upload the zip (unextracted) file into that folder. Then extract the file using file manager.
Alternatively, you can use FTP if that is allowed by your host. I would recommend that since you can have better control over where files go. Using FTP allows you upload multiple files/folders at a time.
Filezilla is an excellent open source ftp client that can upload all the files at once, subsequent uploads it can figure out whats different, and then just transfer those different files, instead of doing them all again.

That's enough for me to check it out. Thanks.
