OpenPhoto / Installation for OSX using Macports
OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses
OS: Mac OSX
This guide instructs you on how to install OpenPhoto on a Macintosh OSX computer.
Prerequisites
Cloud Accounts
Before setting up your server you'll need to make sure you have your cloud accounts set up. If you're using Amazon then make sure you've enabled both S3 and SimpleDb.
Server Packages and Modules
Once you've confirmed that your cloud account is setup you can get started on your server. For that you'll need to have Apache, PHP and curl installed with a few modules.
This guide assumes you have [get it here][Macports installed]. If not you can . The easiest option is to use .pkg installer.
port install apache2
port install php5 +apache2
port install php5-exif
port install php5-curl
port install php5-imagick
port load apache2
Installing OpenPhoto
Download and install the source code. We recommend /var/www/yourdomain.com but you can use any directory you'd like.
Using git clone
# install git if you don't have it already
port install git-core
git clone https://github.com/openphoto/frontend.git /var/www/yourdomain.com
Using tar
cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/openphoto/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
tar -zxvf --group=www-data --owner=www-data openphoto.tar.gz
mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
Assuming that this is a development machine you can make the config writable by the user Apache runs as. Most likely _www.
mkdir /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated
chown _www /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated
Setting up Apache and PHP
Apache
You'll need to make sure that you have named virtual hosts enabled in your Apache confs. First, copy the contents of /var/www/yourdomain.com/configs/openphoto-vhost.conf onto your clipboard. Then open your virtualhosts.conf file.
vi /opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/virtualhosts.conf
You can put the NameVirtualHost directive at the top of the file.
NameVirtualHost *
Paste the contents of your clipboard into the bottom of the file and replace instances of /path/to/openphoto/html/directory with /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html or wherever you placed the code.
PHP
You should also verify that your php.ini file has a few important values set correctly.
vi /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini
Search for the following values and make sure they're correct.
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 16M
post_max_size = 16M
Now you're ready to restart apache and visit the site in your browser.
/opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
Launching your OpenPhoto site
Now you're ready to launch your OpenPhoto site. Point your browser to your host and you'll be taken to a setup screen. You'll need your cloud account credentials to continue.
Once you complete the 3 steps your site will be up and running and you'll be redirected there. The setup screen won't show up anymore. If for any reason you want to go through the setup again you will need to delete the generated config file and refresh your browser.
rm /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated/settings.ini
ENJOY!
