-====== Fully Featured Web Based Photograph Gallery ======
-{{:gallery.jpg?500|}}
-===== Introduction =====
-\\
-This project will be using an off the shelf photo gallery called <color orange>Coppermine</color> that can be found at [[http://coppermine-gallery.net/]]
-\\
-\\
-The software is fully featured and allows for mass upload of images, multiple galleries as well as multiple users.
-\\
-\\
-You will need the following software to be installed:
-\\
-  * Suitable OS (I am using Raspbian Jesse Lite)...[[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/]]
-  * MySQL................................................................Use APT-GET
-  * PHP....................................................................Use APT-GET
-  * Coppermine Gallery..............................................[[http://coppermine-gallery.net/]]
-  * ImageMagick........................................................Use APT-GET
-All of this software is freely available and completely free, so this is a very cost effective project.
-\\
-\\
-There are a ton of user guides on putting Linux on to the Raspberry Pi, so I will not cover that here, once you have got a suitable version of Linux on your device, we need to follow these steps:
-\\
-\\
-  * Change Default Password (super important)
-  * Update the Linux to the latest version
-  * Change Host Name
-  * Install Apache
-  * Install MySQL
-  * Install PHP
-  * Install Imagemagick
-  * Create a Database
-  * Download Coppermine
-  * Change some folder permissions
-  * Install Coppermine
-  * Setup Apache to see the site
-  * Configure Coppermine
-  * Edit some PHP settings (for download sizes)
-  * Setup a Firewall to restrict access
-  * Test
-\\

-===== Change Default Password =====
-By default your Raspberry Pi comes with an account 'pi' with the password 'raspberry'. For security reasons it's probably a good idea to change the password, but you may also wish to change the username as well. There are a couple of different ways to change the default username but I found the following method the easiest.
-\\
-In order to change the username 'pi' we will have to create a new user since it's not possible to rename an account while your logged into it. To create a new user:
-\\
-    passwd
-\\
-Now enter the your current password, followed by the new password (you have to do this twice)
-\\
-----
-===== Update the Linux to the latest version =====
-To update the Raspberry Pi to the latest versions, use the following commands
-\\
-    sudo apt-get update
-    sudo apt-get upgrade
-\\
-----
-===== Change the Host Name =====
-\\
-To change the Host Name we can use the following tool:
-\\
-    sudo raspi-config
-\\
-From this tool select:
-\\
-    Advanced Options
-    Host Name (enter new host name here)
-\\
-Raspberry Pi will now reboot.
-\\
------
-===== Install Apache =====
-    sudo apt-get install apache2
-\\
-----
-===== Install MySQL =====
-    sudo apt-get install mysql-server
-    during the install you will have to enter a new password for the MySQL root user (don't forget it)
-\\
-----
-===== Install PHP =====
-    sudo apt-get install php5
-    sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
-\\
-----
-===== Install Imagemagick =====
-    sudo apt-get install imagemagick
-\\
-----
-===== Create Database =====
-\\
-Before we can install Coppermine, which requires a database, we need to create our database (we have installed MySQL which is the database software, but there are no databases by default)
-\\
-\\
-From the command line, type:
-    mysql -u root -p (if the mysql username is root and password is piper - enter mysql -u root -ppiper)
-        Note there is no space between -p and the password -ppiper
-    SUPER IMPORTANT - Don't forget the ; at the end of the database commands
-    CREATE DATABASE mygallery;     this creates a database called mygallery
-    SHOW DATABASES;                this will list databases, you should see mygallery in the list
-    exit
-\\
-After creating the database, you might want to check this out [[run_security_after_install|Run Security After Install]]
-\\
-----
-===== Download Coppermine =====
-\\
-To download coppermine (change the last part cpg1.5.42.zip to the latest version)
-    wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/coppermine/Coppermine/1.5.x/cpg1.5.42.zip
-unzip the file
-    unzip cpg1.5.42.zip
-move the foder to apache
-    sudo mv cpg15x/ /var/www/html/coppermine
-\\
-----
-===== Change some folder permissions =====
-\\
-    chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/coppermine
-This changes the default permissions to the www-data (apache) user. So apache has rights to modify the files
-\\
-\\
-We also need to change the write permissions for the following folders:
-  * include
-  * albums
-  * albums/userpics
-  * albums/userpics/edit
-To do this enter:
-\\
-    chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/coppermine/include
-    chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/coppermine/albums
-\\
-----
-===== Setup Apache =====
-\\
-If you use a browser to look at your computer (http://youripaddress) you will get the default Apache page, which is nice because it means apache is running, but not so good because you want your site.
-\\
-What we need to do is edit the apache config to point you your site.
-\\
-    cd /etc/apache2
-    sudo nano 000-default-conf
-    change DocumentRoot to /var/www/html/coppermine/
-Restart Apache
-    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-\\
-----
-===== Configure Coppermine =====
-\\
-Connect to the site
-    http://youripaddress
-\\
-You will get the message:
-    Coppermine Photo Gallery seems not to be installed correctly, or you are running coppermine for the first time.
-    You'll be redirected to the installer. If your browser doesn't support redirect, click here.
-\\
-when you click 'here' the installer will start.
-\\
-\\
-{{:cpg01.png?600|}}
-\\
-\\
-Fill out your details in the window above using your passwords and usernames. Remember Apache username is probably root.
-\\
-\\
-----
-===== Edit some PHP settings =====
-Open and edit file php.ini
-\\
-    sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
-Find and edit these two settings define the maximum file upload size:
-\\
-    upload_max_filesize = 2000M
-    post_max_size = 3000M
-\\
-This will increase upload limits on a single file to 256 MB, from the default of 2 MB.
-“post_max_size” is set 1 MB larger than “upload_max_filesize” to take into account for any additional meta-data about the file that is included in the request (e.g., Header data).
-\\
-\\
-If multiple files are uploads in the same POST request, then post_max_size will need to be set greater than the size of all the files combined (i.e., post_max_size > upload_max_filesize * number-of-files + 1MB * number-of-files).
-\\
-    Now Reboot
-\\
-----
-===== Firewall Setup =====
