PIWIGO setup?

CAN you ensure MySQL is running ?

For example enable readynas photo first, or try to install mysqlon

OK, go it working by starting Photo II add-on. Again, it would have been useful to have this information in a small setup guide.

Other information that is still needed is how to make the albums accessible externally. It is not straightforward. Any advice on this? The port you mentioned is open in my router but no access is possible. Also, users are not receiving their logon details by email, despite checking this option when creating the users.

Also, re your link for access - surely it should contain the port number too? (although this does not work, I just tried it).

I can appreciate that some config details are buried at the Piwigo site, but I just want to get a basic setup going without having to become an expert in the app development or mysql etc. Come on mate, these are basic setup instructions and it feels like im dragging the information out of you sentence by sentence!

Is it possible to have Piwigo use the photos already on the NAS that have been put into the Photo Share, ideally I dont want to have to replicate all my photos again?.

Does anyone have a reply to this? is there a way to point piwigo to a (lets called it) "my pictures" folder insted of ./gallery/? and if so how? step by step please!
Thanks
