PIWIGO setup?
I've just downloaded (paid for) this add-on only to discover that there are zero installation instructions provided. The Piwigo website instructions don't seem to be relevant as they assume you will be running a server on your PC or using some 3rd party hosting. Surely the Addon version is intended to allow the ReadyNAS to act as the server? If so, how the hell is it configured?
Please can someone post some instructions on how to get started with this?

- gwip0102AspirantIm in the same boat.
Any help gratefully appreciated - super_poussinVirtuosoto set ip up simply click on the launch button , you will have setup page
database is piwigo
database user is root without password
Those info should be on genie, they are not ? - gwip0102AspirantThanks for the information. I now Have the app running and can create the albums.
I couldn't find any information on genie regarding PIWIGO - if it exists its not easy to find.
My next issue is how do I make the PIWIGO pages visible online? I can see them from my network but want them viewable from the web. Is this something I need to configure in Piwigo, On the RN104 or via another app?
Thanks again for the support - axg20202AspirantInstalling the add-on seems to take an endless time. I think it gets stuck in the process. Man, using the Genie service is liking travelling back in time to web 1.0. Look, feel and functionality are pure 1992.

Well, that's two of the installation entries, what about the rest? I tried these and it just says cannot connect to server. Should it be set to localhost? Honestly, I appreciate your hard work S-P but what is the point in providing an add-on with zero instructions on how to get started with it? Please, can you post the setup instructions here in full?
And, again, dear Netgear, your Genie service sucks the sweat from a dead dogs balls.....easily the most annoying, outdated, slow and generally cheap-ass e-commerce system I have used in the last 10 years of using the internet. Get it together for Pete's sake. - super_poussinVirtuosoPiwigo For R6 :
Port used is : 7091 for http
https access can be used : https://localhost/apps/piwigo/index.php
By default database created at install step is piwigo
Mysql user is root without password
for the rest it follow Piwigo statndard installation process - axg20202AspirantThanks. So does that mean I simply enter "localhost" in the Host field, root for the username, blank password and database name, and then any entries I like for webmaster username and password etc? If so, I still get a Cannot connect to server message. I am trying to access it inside my LAN, so I should not have to use any port forwarding etc yet.
- super_poussinVirtuosoPut piwigo in database name
- axg20202AspirantNo joy. still does not work even after adding in the database name. Cannot connect to server. I am running a Duo V2 on latest firmware if that makes any difference. I have PhP5 v5.3.10-arm-4.1.1 running.
