Gallery Install...

1. Download the Module from the file area listed on the main page. These instructions are for an already hacked version of mdGallery. So if you plan to make your own hack do that first. That is below.
2. Unzip it to or unzip it and upload it to the modules folder for your MDPro Site.
   • It should end up in "<MySitePath>/modules/mdGallery"
   • Note: If you are upgrading and your old module folder is called "gallery" then move "gallery" out of the modules folder. Move the "config.php" file from the "gallery" folder into your new "mdGallery" folder because we can still use that.
3. Create a folder to store the ablums in.
   • Create a folder called "albums" at the root of yoru site. ("<MySitePath>/albums") This is to store your albums in. During the install you will be asked where this location is. Put the full path to this folder.
   • $ mkdir <MySitePath>/albums
4. Put the site into Setup mode...
   • in the mdGallery folder run...
     • ./configure.sh
   • or
     • sh ./configure.sh
5. You need to set permissions to make some of the files and directories writable. This involves using the CHMOD command. If you do not understand CHMOD, there are some resources and information listed at Our Site HowTo or www.eclecticpixels.com. But really you could just type the following below.
   • $ chmod 777 <MySitePath>/albums
   • $ chmod 666 <MySitePath>/modules/mdGallery/.htaccess
   • $ chmod 666 <MySitePath>/modules/mdGallery/config.php
   • $ chmod 755 <MySitePath>/modules/mdGallery/setup/
6. Load the Configuration Wizard.
   • In your web browser go to http://<MySiteURL>/modules/mdGallery/setup
   • Refer to the install guide found at <MySitePath>/modules/mdGallery/docs/gallery1-install.config-wizard.html
   • Notes...
     • If they refer to the gallery folder as "gallery" remember that we call it "mdGallery".
     • I you have forgotten your admin password then see this page.
