Welcome to Zenphoto! This page will set up Zenphoto on your web server.
Systems Check:
PHP version 5.2.9
PHP Safe Mode [is set]

Zenphoto functionality is reduced when PHP safe mode restrictions are in effect.
PHP magic_quotes_gpc
PHP gettext() support
PHP mbstring package Your internal characater set is ISO-8859-1
Warning!
Setting mbstring.internal_encoding to UTF-8 in your php.ini file is recommended to insure accented and multi-byte characters function properly.
PHP MySQL support
zp-config.php file
Strict Permissions [is not in effect]
Warning!
When this option is not in effect, file and folder permissions are relaxed. This could constitute a security risk so it is recommended that you enable Strict Permissions. However, on some servers Zenphoto does not function correctly with strict file/folder permissions. If you enable this option and Zenphoto has permission errors, run setup again and disable the option.
Click here to use strict file/folder permissions.
NOTE: This option applies only to new files and folders created by Zenphoto. You may have to change permissions on existing ones to resolve problems.
MySQL setup in zp-config.php
connect to MySQL
Error!
Could not connect to the MySQL server. Check the user, password, and database host and try again.
Zenphoto core files [Some files are missing or their filemtimes seem out of variance.]
Warning!
Perhaps there was a problem with the upload. You should check the following files:
zp-core/zp-config.php.source
.htaccess file (RewriteEngine is ON)
.htaccess RewriteBase is /zenphoto
albums folder [albums is not writeable and setup could not make it so]
Error!
Change the permissions on the albums folder to be writable by the server (chmod 777 albums)
cache folder [cache is not writeable and setup could not make it so]
Error!
Change the permissions on the cache folder to be writable by the server (chmod 777 cache)
locale folders
You need to address the problems indicated above then run setup.php again.
[i]Could not connect to the MySQL server. Check the user, password, and database host and try again.[/i]
You need to find out these data. Contact your host about that.
Also you need to check the permissions on the zenphoto folders:

Also you might want to ask your host to disable safe mode which is considered bad practice and will cause Zenphoto not to work correctly: http://www.zenphoto.org/2009/03/troubleshooting-zenphoto/#34
yup... done it... i need try ask server...
