Piwigo is an open-source photo gallery software that allows users to easily create and manage their own online photo galleries. In this article, we will go over the process of installing and configuring Piwigo from scratch.
Before getting started, you will need a web hosting account that meets the Piwigo system requirements. You will also need to download the latest version of Piwigo from the official website (https://piwigo.org/download/).
Once you have downloaded the Piwigo files, extract them and upload them to your web server using a FTP client. Next, create a MySQL database for Piwigo to use. This can usually be done through your web hosting control panel.
After the database is created, open the Piwigo installation file in your web browser (e.g. http://yourdomain.com/piwigo/). This will start the Piwigo installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the database information (name, username, password, and host) as well as some basic information about your Piwigo installation (website title, admin username and password, etc.). Once you have entered this information, click “Next” to complete the installation.
After the installation is complete, you will need to configure Piwigo to meet your specific needs. To do this, log in to the Piwigo admin panel and navigate to the “Configuration” section. Here, you can customize various settings such as the default language, time zone, and photo upload settings.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed and configured Piwigo from scratch. You can use Piwigo to create and manage your own online photo galleries.
