Step 3Install and configure Zenphoto
So assuming MAMP runs just fine and you can get the 'start page' without problem, then unzip the Zenphoto package. Copy the entire zenphoto folder into the htdocs folder in the MAMP folder you just installed. If you changed the 'Document Root' location, copy the zenphoto folder to that place instead.
Copy a folder of a few pictures into the 'albums' folder in your zenphoto folder to get an idea of how this will work.
With the computer you are setting this up on, start the MAMP servers and then navigate to:
http://localhost/zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php
This is a script to make sure things are configured just fine. Check marks are good, questions marks are warnings but not game-stopping, and x's mean BAD! Half-way down, you'll see a spot to enter in some information. Put in the zenphoto user (zenphoto), password and database (zenphoto in ourcase). Click save.
If you have any more x's then something strange has happened. Follow the instructions to see if you can resolve it.
Press 'GO' down at the bottom and it should take you to a page to create your admin user. Select a name and password for the administrator of your photo sharing site. It will then take you to the 'Admin Toolbox'. There are ten thousand different things to do here. Explore at your own will.
Once finished here, click the "View Gallery: Gallery" option in the upper right. This will take to your pictures. Hopefully you get an album with the pictures you dropped into your albums folder. You may notice that folders that don't contain picture files are not recognized. Also it doesn't deal with raw photos.
