The current version of PhotoPost Pro includes a full featured
built-in user registration system. Although PhotoPost Pro works
completely on its own with all functionality included (including comment
posting), it also works with vBulletin, phpBB 2.0, and UBB
Threads v5 and v6, to keep your users from having to register twice.
Note that no forum is required for uploads or photo comments.
ImageMagick or GD, PHP, and MySQL can be obtained at no cost, and they are so common that they are probably already installed on your web
server:
Testing Your Web Server for Compatibility
To find your version of PHP, MySQL, GD (if present), and whether or not
you have safe mode OFF, download this small phpinfo.zip test file,
unzip it, FTP the phpinfo.php file to your web server, then run it from
your web browser (http://www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php).
When you run phpinfo.php in your browser, a long page of configuration
info will appear. Your version of PHP will appear at the top of the
page:
Scroll down to the Configuration / PHP Core section and find the safe_mode
variable. It will look like the following:
If it is "on", ask your host if they will disable it for you, or consider
switching to a host that will (safe_mode prevents scripts from writing
files to disk, hence uploads are not possible).
Next, see if you already have a version of the GD Graphics Library
installed. Scroll down until you see a section titled "gd":
PhotoPost can work with GD 1.x.x (which is common), although thumbnail
images look much better with GD 2.x.x or ImageMagick. If you don't have
GD1 or GD2 installed, ask your host if they have ImageMagick installed on
your server (or if they will install it for you). If you need to install
ImageMagick, we have a detailed install
guide that works with virtual servers (root access not required), and
we offer an installation
service that includes the installation of ImageMagick and
PhotoPost.
Finally, scroll down to the section titled "mysql" to find your version of
MySQL:
