planetphillip Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Hi, I want to install Coppermine Photo Gallery. "Coppermine is a multi-purpose fully-featured and integrated web picture gallery script written in PHP using GD or ImageMagick lib with a MySQL backend." I have no experience in either GD or ImageMagick and was wondering if anybody has them installed here at TCH. I have only glance at the installation guides of both and thought I'd hear your opinions before I delved deeper. This last software I tried to install , Greymatter (On another host), caused real problems, so I am wary of rushing in where angels fear to tread. This is from the email I received: "Yes you account has been suspended. It's because of one of your scripts which used more than usual resource (CPU). Scripts name is gm-comments.cgi and you need to remove it from the system as soon as possible. Second report of such violation can result in termination of your account." That is one of the reasons I decided to look for a new host and happily found TCH! So, in a way, it was a good thing. TIA Phillip Quote
TCH-Rick Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Both are installed by default on all servers. As for the problem with the other host and GreyMatter, GM is prohibited on here as well. It is not a friendly script on shared servers. I have seen no problems with Coppermine and there are several users on the forums that have installed it and would be able to help should you need it.

planetphillip Posted February 29, 2004 Author Posted February 29, 2004 Great! What's the path to Imagemagick? TIA Phillip Quote
planetphillip Posted February 29, 2004 Author Posted February 29, 2004 Thanks for the link. I still have a few questions. 1. Do I have to install ImageMagick on my domain? 2. If so, how? There is not a one-click install from my CPanel. 3. The installation page asks for a database name. Do I need to create the DB by hand, or can I just give it a name that I want it to create? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 1. As Rick say "Both are installed by default on all servers", so... 2. No 3. Here´s how to set up a database. Quote
planetphillip Posted February 29, 2004 Author Posted February 29, 2004 Jikrantz, I really appreciate your help. Thanks. I created the DB, I wish they told you that you needed to create one manually in the readme and install intructions! The path that I needed was /usr/local/bin/ (Just in case anybody else should need to know). Everything seems fine. Thanks Again Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Way to go Thomas ! Always so helpful my friend Thumbs Up Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 Just doing my best whenever i acatually can something. :-) Now...dont ask me anything on how to set up imagemagick. I´ve never used it. Quote
