Prerequisites

  • A server with EndeavourOS Latest installed.
  • Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed.

Step 1: Download Zenphoto

You can download the latest release of Zenphoto from the official website at https://www.zenphoto.org/download/. Choose the version that is compatible with your server and download the zip file.

wget https://www.zenphoto.org/dl/zenphoto-latest.zip

Step 2: Extract Zenphoto

After downloading the zip file, extract it to the document root folder of your web server, usually located at /var/www/html/.

sudo unzip zenphoto-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 3: Create a MySQL Database

Create a new MySQL database and a MySQL user with full permissions to access the database. You can use the following commands to create the database and the user.

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE zenphoto;
CREATE USER 'zenphoto_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zenphoto.* TO 'zenphoto_user'@'localhost';

Open the zp-config.php file using a text editor and update the values of the database, username, and password to your MySQL database credentials.

nano zp-config.php

$conf['mysql_user'] = 'zenphoto_user';
$conf['mysql_password'] = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
$conf['mysql_database'] = 'zenphoto';
