integrating gallery2 problem!

[schoolboy]

Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com) is a completely separate program from Zencart.

You need to get a copy of the gallery2 software:-

http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Download

... and choose the FULL, ZIP file to download. It's quite a large file - 21mb - so it will take a while.

Unzip this software on your local machine - or if you have the capacity on your host server C-Panel to FTP upload and unzip on the server, do it there.

If you unzip on the local drive, FTP all the gallery2 folders/files to the required location on the server. The unzipped software occupies a LOT of bytes! ... So you should FTP chunks at a time.

Gallery2 needs its own database. You CAN use the same database as you do for zencart, but you will then need prefixes. (If I recall correctly, gallery installation requires prefixes anyway).

Anyway... you need to have:

1. A full installation of gallery2 with its database
2. A full installation of zencart with its database.

You MUST follow gallery2 install instructions, as I believe there is a certain order of installation processes, when integrating with Zencart.
