Hey. Just starting to use ZenPhoto and hope all goes well as I want to put my galleries on my sites built on Dreamweaver.

I have put a database successfully, now I need to know how I can login in to Zenphoto. Will favourite it once I know how to use it and using MAMP as a local server if that helps.

Thinking ahead how do you put the gallery/ies onto a web page and do you use your own css for arrows, pages, etc or is there some to use?

Kind Regards

Eddie

Welcome. You login via `pathtoyourinstallation/admin`.

If you want to make Zenphoto look like your site you will have to learn how to create (or modify) a theme to match it. Please read the tutorial here: https://www.zenphoto.org/news/theming-tutorial/

Sorry, what is the pathtoyourinstallation? where do you find the admin folder?

It's either something like `www.yoursite.org/admin` or `www.yoursite.org/zp-core/admin.php`
There is no admin folder.

Ok, I found the file, one last thing. Does it need to be on the remote server? Currently on the testing server.

Yes it does. It needs to be present in every installation.

Ok, I have moved this into my remote server but went I go in to typed in my web browser, it comes up with a 404 error- file or directory not found. Website is woldfarmshooting.co.uk

> I have moved this into my remote server

I am not sure what you mean by this. You cannot just "move" something somewhere. You need to install Zenphoto as described on any server you wish to use it. https://www.zenphoto.org/news/installation-and-upgrading/

From my testing server to remote server, thought that was obvious. Do I have to do the whole reinstall again?!

Of course.

Fine, can I use the MySQL database that I have already created or do I need to do a new one?

You cannot use the one from your local testing server using MAMP with your remote server. Those are entirely different things.

You need to setup a database as your webhost tells for the actual (remote) server. Then you could import the database form the local install. But please carefully re-read the info on our site as is basically the "migrating to another server" procedure.
