== Installing Gallery on Redbrick
==

[http://gallery.sourceforge.net Gallery] is an excellent piece of PHP software for your website for orgainsing and displaying photos.

Unfortantly it's not possible to install Gallery on redbrick and have it work straight away.

Download gallery and install it as instructed.

You must then pass all the files through =dos2unix= even if you downloaded the =.tar.gz= archive. You could probaly write a simple script to this. This is the key to getting the scripts to work.

To get _any_ PHP web software running on redbrick you need to add =#!/usr/local/bin/php=
to the beginning of the php file. To get Gallery to work, you don't need to add it to all files but only the files executed, specifically:

<pre>
add_photos.php
add_photos_frame.php
album_permissions.php
albums.php
captionator.php
copy_photo.php
create_user.php
delete_album.php
delete_photo.php

Oh, BTW, ImageMagick and most of NetPBM is already installed on Redbrick so you won't need those binaries in your account locally.

=== Gallery Remote
===

If you want to get GalleryRemote working so you can upload pictures without using ftp or the webform, simply create a file called php.ini in the directory where you installed gallery (normally something like =/webtree/-username-/gallery=). The contents of php.ini should be:

<pre>
[PHP]

output_handler =

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = /home/associat/-letter-/-username-/tmp

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M
</pre>

Of course you should change the =upload_tmp_dir= to the correct path. Thanks to [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~noel noel] for this.
