Installation

Requirements:
GalleryCMS requires PHP and a database. It uses the GD2 library for image processing.

Step 1

Download GalleryCMS.

Step 2

Create your database.

Step 3

Unzip gallerycms.zip and open application/config/config.php. Go to line 14 and change the following to the location of your installation:

$config['base_url']	= "http://example.com/";

You can store GalleryCMS anywhere on your server and you can name it however you wish, like:

$config['base_url']	= "http://example.com/admin";

- or -

$config['base_url']	= "http://example.com/gallerycms";

Step 4

Open application/config/database.php and update the database connection with your proper credentials. If you are not using MySQL, be sure to change the DB driver. In most cases, you will only need to provide your database name, database user name and database password.

$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";
$db['default']['username'] = "";
$db['default']['password'] = "";
$db['default']['database'] = "";
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";
    

Step 5

Upload to your server.

Step 6

Change the permissions to the uploads folder to 777 - or read/write/execute.

Step 7

Visit the location of your installation in your web browser. If you followed the steps correctly, you will be greeted with a Create Account page where you will need to create a username and password to log in. Once you have done so, it will automatically create the tables in the database for you. Now you're all set!
