Hi all, I'm looking for a web photo gallery for my personal web server at home. Till now I've done the galleries manually from Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I feel that is a dead end, kinda', besides the fact that the galleries created are rather static. I'd like an easier way to do this, eg uploading images in folders directly to the gallery and it will take care of what needs to be done automagically, like resizing etc. So far I've come across a project called Gallery2, that seems to do what I want. Downside is that no rpm-packages are available with yum with this one. What web photo gallery software do you guys use? My requirements are only that the software should be simple to install, maintain and add more photos. I'm not a pro (a newbie more like it...) when it comes to mysql and php, so this needs to be easy to do as well, from the gallery standpoint.

And installation is very, very simple. upload the files to your websever, add a MySQL database, and run the installation.php script - very easy. I doubt if you'll get a website gallery that is packged in an rpm though. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm quite happy with it (although I'd prefer some open source replacement.. but there's none as of yet), give it a try.
I'd recommend using the beta of Gallery3 instead - it will be upgradable to the final version, and -3 is so much nicer to work with than -2. Actually, I've stayed on -1 simply because -2 was way too complex. You won't get it through yum, but you can update using git instead of having to download and untar new versions.

I like it because there's no requirement for SQL and you can basically upload the original images straight from the camera to a directory tree. PHPix2 then lets the user view pictures in a variety of resolutions, with forward/previous thumbnails, album descriptions, etc. It's easy to maintain backup copies because it's just a regular directory tree. Downside is it hasn't been updated in awhile, but it may fit your needs... More at: http://phpix2.sourceforge.net -Greg
Sorin Srbu wrote:> What web photo gallery software do you guys use?I like http://drupal.org It is an open source content management system. You could use one of the gallery modules that best suits your needs. In addition, the system is flexible and will allow you to do all sorts of other things (blogs, share content, to do lists, project management, etc). Here is a search of the modules with photo and album: http://drupal.org/search/apachesolr_search/photo%20album?filters=type%3Aproject_project -- Sincerely, John Thomas

I tried gallery v2 but it was too complicated to use(and hated the themes it came with I just wanted something plain), I just wanted something simple. It doesn't use a (SQL) DB, it does do auto resizing of pictures when you upload them. my gallery site is http://gallery.aphroland.org/ nate

One or more people on this list suggested it to me, early in May. I have one album there, with 273 photos I took before and during a concert and people around the world can see them. Picasa is also very easy to use, although not Open Source. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The gallery software should be able to access the DB over the localhost address, and you could firewall off outside access to mysql. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Many skins, some simple, some not..an integrated ftp client for uploading to your web server, and nothing else but your photos needed. There's also a pre-built rpm which I've used without issue on CentOS 4.7 and higher (client machines). I'm hosting more than a few of these albums on my CentOS 5.3 server.

It is not working. IMHO, since you (like me) have both rpmforge and epel configured, you should give epel a very low priority or epel will replace a *LOT* of the packages on your box. Also, I suggest you disable the protecbase plug in. Priorities is newer and more powerful.
