HOWTO: Your own photo hosting site

Buddha Jones · 01-27-2007, 12:23 AM

Nice writeup Eric, very informative for beginners. I have used gallery on a couple of my clients sites (web design) but have since found a new tool to use that I will be migrating my clients sites to. Its awesome for a number of reasons but mainly its slick looking, very modular and its flas so no one can snag your photos. I use it on my own personal gallery also at .:The CDS Gallery:..

Thanks for posting this. I'll give it a read.

I've been thinking about trying Gallery. I use Bluehost, which has
all the tools (db, shell, etc.) I should need.

This document describes one of the many ways to create an image-hosting web site. I've done this enough times and I went to the trouble to take notes. I also went through the software setup a couple times while writing this to make sure I had it right. Several DPR members beta tested it as well. It should be reasonably accurate, but....

Yes, tried to pull it up myself, but not there anymore. Would be interested myself if it can be rerun, thanks Eric.

I am interested myself so someone please let me know the name of the web program that uses PHP and MySQL.

LOL @ that 3rd link...your efforts are much appreciated.

ericzb · 02-23-2009, 05:35 AM

emm, the link doesn't working anymore...

anyway, for me, I use lightroom to generate web pages and upload to my server.

a bit dump, I know; but hey, it works.

Eric has not posted here in over 8 months - so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
