phpfspot

phpfspot install howto:

* requirements

 - apache/apache2 (in fact any webserver which supports php)

 - php5

   - the following extensions must be available

     (compiled in or as shared object):

     * gd

     * sqlite3 (native or as PDO driver)

   - PEAR extensions (pear install %name%)

     * Calendar

     * Date

     * HTML_AJAX

 - Smarty (php template engine, http://smarty.php.net)

 - sqlite3

* installation

 1. copy the sample phpfspot-config-file to your new config file

    cp phpfspot_cfg.php.dist phpfspot_cfg.php

 2. Edit phpfspot_cfg.php and edit the necessary configuration

    parameters. This file also include explanation of each option.

    Take care that the path to the f-spot database (photos.db)

    and the f-spot photo base directory (usally Photos) is set

    correctly.

 3. Open phpfspot in our favourite browser. The URL depends what

    you have specify as $webpath in the configuration var. But

    usually it will be http://myserver/phpfspot (where myserver

    is your webservers IP, server name, virtual host name, ...).

 4. To pre-create all thumbnails invoke the script gen_thumbs.php

    cd ${phpfspot_home}

    "./gen_thumbs.php"

    or 

    "php gen_thumbs.php" (if execute-permission is not set)

    thumbnails can also be created on-the-fly by the webserver but

    this will take away a lot of resources of your system during

    thumb-generation. pre-creation on the shell works faster.
