Hello !
:?: Is it possible for an absolute beginner to use the photo album ??
I came across a site today that uses it and I just loved the clean look and it worked really well .
Hi snoopy,
short answer, yes, if you can understand the docs, which are in english.
Although I had put up a couple of amaturish websites before, I had never used any php application, or a web based database before.
I had a good look around before I got up the bottle to have a go myself, but found it much easier than I expected.
And if you can't find the answer to something, just ask here.
Good luck, :wink:
Coppermine is easy to install and run, you are only likely to have probs if you try to run it from your own server, get a decent host and coppermine is pretty straight forward. I actually learnt most of my PHP/MySQL through playing around with coppermine.
Sounds good , :D
I have a host . ....what exactly do I have to ask them to do . I'm used to uploading a website using ftp .
:?: Is that what is meant by load up to your server ?
Make sure the server you are uploading to has the following:
- Good webserver (Apache recommended);
- PHP (4.1.0 or better);
- MySQL (3.23.23 or better; 4.x recommended);
- either GD or ImageMagick (any version);
Then unzip and upload the coppermine files with ftp, and run the install.php
