I am trying to install 1.6 which I just downloaded. I am using an older version but am in the process of moving my personal site to another host so doing a fresh install.
When I go through the setup after clicking the link to agree to the terms and conditions I get the default 404 page from my site. When I go to the URL I get this
The site is undergoing an upgrade.
Please return later.
I don't see any useful errors in setup.log, the db was populated just not sure how to get past this point.
I am the "hosting provider" and control both servers, older one was a ubuntu box with no web based control panel which is what I wanted by moving it. The new server has WHM/cPanel for a bunch of customers sites on it, my site has wordpress but that in theory should not matter.
Any suggestions/direction appreciated.

This not an error. The site is always by default in maintenance mode in 1.6 as noted here: https://www.zenphoto.org/news/zenphoto-1.6/#--setup-behaviour-changes
You can access the backend via yoursite.com/admin and disable the maintanance mode and also the default behaviour. Don't know about the 404…
I neglected to mention that during the install it never prompted me to create an admin user, now when I go to what should be the admin url I get this. My URL is https://www.snovalley.com/gallery/admin/
The site is undergoing an upgrade.
Please return later.
I did try to install multiple times with removing the directory and DB each time.
You actually create the (first and master) user after setup - the install process - completed. After the 2nd page. Sorry I cannot help at the moment what might go wrong for your. I don't remember to have encountered that on any host I installed Zenphoto myself.
If you like try 1.6.1a (called alpha but actually is beta) you find on the dowload page. https://www.zenphoto.org/pages/download/
I just downloaded 1.6.1a and went through the install, at the bottom of the install page I click the link to "set your admin user and password" which is
https://snovalley.com/gallery/zp-core/admin-users.php?page=users
Which takes me to the license agreement page.
This is when the 404 page appears just after clicking the link to "I agree to these terms and conditions".
I never am prompted to create a user.
I just tried a fresh install, when I get to this page and click on "I agree to these terms and conditions"
https://snovalley.com/gallery/zp-core/admin-users.php?page=users
I then get the wordpress default 404 page, this is the associated URL.
I can send the screen shots or whatever else you might need.
Ok I was able to get it working, here is what I did.
I installed on what is essentially a blank cpanel install, worked perfectly.
I tried renaming .htaccess and putting in a default one on my actual site, no luck but a different error not the useless wordpress error page.
I opened a ticket with cpanel explain what is happening, they looked at things and a couple back and forth exchanges I ended up disabling all the security in the WP Toolkit to do the install and then enabled again.
I now have a fresh install so can move my albums over from my old server.
Thanks again, I hope this helps someone else so to speak...
