Requriments:
Database Server
- MySQL or MS SQL Server (experimental support for ODBC)
- Administration tool for the database server (e.g. phpMyAdmin)
- Support for MySQL has been tested thouroughly.
- Support for MS SQL has been tested and seems to work fine.
- Support for ODBC is currently untested.
- PhpMyAdmin to import database structure http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
- ImageMagick installed on server http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/
- The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

- PHP 4 (PHP 3 untested, but should work)
- Tested with PHP 4.2.2
- Forum Software
- Tested with phpBB 2.0.4
- Tested with vBulletin 2.2.x
- With vBulletin 2.3.x, and error message is produced by vBulletin, but still works.
- Forum software is not really needed (but highly recommended), you can use ip-based authentication too.

Web Server
-OakGallery currently requires a web server that allows you to run shell commands from php-scripts (for ImageMagick).

Installation:
1. Create a database for the gallery (using e.g. phpMyAdmin)
(You can use the same database for OakGallery as for other things, as long as the table names don't collide)
2. Execute the complete database script found in InstallDB/<server-type>-OakGallery.sql
3. UnZip the gallery to a local folder
Edit the Upload/config/galleryconfig.php to suit your needs. The configuration options should be self-explanatory. To find where ImageMagick's convert and composite are located. Try running this from your shell (unix):

which convert or
whereis convert

4. Upload all files in the 'Upload' subdirectory to your webserver.

5. Make the directories 'thumbnails' and 'images' writeable by the webserver.

E.g:
chown nobody thumbnails
chmod 770 thumbnails
(In this example, the webserver is run as user nobody.)

7. Also, you need to make the PHP temporary upload directory writable by the webserver.

(Contact your system administrator if you need help with step 6-7)
Now, try loading the gallery page in your webbrowser and start creating categories for your pictures!

8. Dont you get it working ? Please post your problem here ... include the following:

- Path to the gallery
- Path to the forum
- Path to phpinfo.php
- Path?s in the galleryconfig.php

Then it will be much easier to help you out.

Modification:
If you want to modify OakGallery to better suit your needs, the following rules must be obeyed:

- The 'PayPal-donate' link and text must be CLEARLY visible. Preferrably near the top of the page.
- The original copyright message must be CLEARLY visible near the top of ALL pages.
- Add a message saying 'Modified by xxxx' or similar near the copyright message.
- Have fun! (and yes, that is a rule!)).

Moyses, is the files there ? The directories security right ? The path?s in galleryconfig.php is right ?
[/B]

Hai!
the files, the paths in galleryconfig.php is right

The directories security???????

[Bergman]

ricoche, have you uploaded the phpinfo.php mentioned above ? Which path has it ? I want to check some things in it.

You have MSN Messenger ? My adress is anbem@wmdata.com

[Bergman]

Moyses, yes the webuser must have write access in /images/ and /thumbnails/

[Bergman]

ricoche, are you currently trying to do something with your site ? It is working sometimes when i access it ...

[Kurayami]

I've checked the directory structure again even with PHPinfo, and it's exactly the same... the files are all uploaded as well; it just can't seem to find them. The interesting thing is that my folder structure is exactly the same as the other two users who are having the issue: home/user/public_html/

I'll PM you the address to my gallery.

yes, I am sure... the CHMOD for this directories are 770

[Bergman]

ricoche & Kurayami, i have spoken with Åke now and he is pretty sure that you are missing this in php.ini. Can you verify and test ?

include_path = "."

[Yaxio]

is there a way to get rid of the database error at the bottom for vb versions 2.3.0 ?

[Yaxio]

also, how do i delete a category?

[Bergman]

Yaxio, Åke is working with the problems with 2.3.0 and you cant delete categories från the gallery. We have choosen to not have that option due to security. Use PhpMyAdmin or simular to do that.
