Thanks, Wyatt, John, Shawn, Sean and Jeff. Though I was going to
try Gallery 2 because of the EPEL RPMs for it, I think I'll go with
version 3 if the setup is that simple. If that doesn't do the job,
I may investigate OpenPhoto, or else go with an online service.<br>

<p>I've used Gallery 3, and setup is quite simple, though it does
require a sql server. <br>
Once you extract the tar ball with all the php files I think
it's as simple as running the setup.php file from your browser
and plugging in your sql server details and the automated script
does the rest. </p>

After spending too much time figuring out how to install and
configure My Photo Gallery (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://fuzzymonkey.net/software/photogallery/"
target="_blank">http://fuzzymonkey.net/software/photogallery/</a>)
on my CentOS 5 web server, only to realize it's completely
inadequate for the task we have in mind, I thought I'd turn to
the group for help before wasting a lot more time. Do any of
you have experience with good photo gallery software for
Linux?<br>
<br>
I want something web based, which would make it reasonably
easy to invite select individuals to upload photos for various
events (seminars & symposia) we hold. Ideally, we would
set up a gallery for each event, then e-mail attendees access
info (username & password) which would give them access to
that gallery to upload photos taken at the event. After a
time, we'd close off access for uploads, e.g. by changing the
password, but keep the gallery up for public viewing from our
site. It would have to be something really easy to use,
simple and reliable, so that invitees don't have to spend a
lot of time leaning or fighting with the site to upload a
half-dozen pictures. It would be really nice if it allowed
them to add comments to the photos too.<br>
<br>
I was thinking of trying Gallery 2 next, which is apparently
available from EPEL for CentOS 5. But it looks like something
pretty big and complicated with lots of packages, and it needs
an SQL database on the back end, so I don't know how much of
an effort it will be to install, configure and learn. So, I
thought I'd ask before investing a whole lot more time on
this. Any experience with this or other gallery software?
What's good out there that would fit the bill for our needs?
Or should we just give up on this idea and get everyone to
upload to Flickr?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Gilles<br>
