Database and File System Options
MySql
You'll need to provide credentials for a MySql database. If the database doesn't already exist it will be created. If the user doesn't have CREATE DATABASE permissions then make sure it's already created.
AWS
If you're going to use AWS services then You'll need to be signed up for them.
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 install php5-oauth

port load apache2
Installing OpenPhoto
Download and install the source code. We recommend ~/Sites/yourdomain.com but you can use any directory you'd like.
Using git clone
apt-get install git-core
git clone git@github.com:openphoto/frontend.git /var/www/yourdomain.com
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com
Using tar
cd /var/www
wget https://github.com/openphoto/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openphoto.tar.gz
mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
chown -R www-data:www-data yourdomain.com
Assuming that this is a development machine you can make the config writable by the user Apache runs as. Most likely www-data.
mkdir /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated
Using git clone
# install git if you don't have it already
port install git-core
git clone git@github.com:openphoto/frontend.git ~/Sites/yourdomain.com
Using tar
cd ~/Sites
wget https://github.com/openphoto/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openphoto.tar.gz
mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
chown -R www-data:www-data 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 ~/Sites/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
chown _www ~/Sites/yourdomain.com/src/userdata
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 ~/Sites/yourdomain.com/configs/openphoto-vhost.conf onto your clipboard. Then open your virtualhosts.conf file.
vi /opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/virtualhosts.conf
By default, any access to ini files is denied with a "Not Found" 404 HTTP code. To enable a 404, or Forbidden return code, change the following lines in the virtual host file.
Uncomment:
# 403 Forbidden for ini files
#RewriteRule \.ini$ - [F,NC]
Comment:
404 Not Found for ini files
AliasMatch .ini$ /404
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 /Users/yourusername/Sites/yourdomain.com/src/html or wherever you placed the code. In the virtualhost conf make sure to specify the full path to your Sites directory.
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!
