Prerequisites

Before installing Zenphoto, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Download Zenphoto

First, download the latest version of Zenphoto from the official website. You can do this by navigating to https://www.zenphoto.org/ and clicking on the "Download" button.

Once the download is complete, extract the files to a directory of your choice.

Step 2: Configure Apache

To configure Apache for Zenphoto, open the Apache configuration file in your preferred text editor. On Clear Linux Latest, this file can be found at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

Alias /zenphoto "/path/to/zenphoto"
<Directory "/path/to/zenphoto">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

Replace /path/to/zenphoto with the actual path to the Zenphoto directory.

Save the file and restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 3: Create a Database

Zenphoto requires a database to store its data. To create a new database, log in to MariaDB:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password when prompted.

Create a new database and user for Zenphoto:

CREATE DATABASE zenphoto;
CREATE USER 'zenphoto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zenphoto.* TO 'zenphoto'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace your_password with a strong password of your choice.

Exit MariaDB:

exit

Step 4: Install Zenphoto

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/zenphoto. The Zenphoto installer should start.

Follow the instructions to install Zenphoto. When prompted, enter the database information you created in Step 3.
