I’ve spent far too much time trying to set up a new photo gallery with a content management backend.  Sometimes I like to make note of technical issues I have so that perhaps they might help someone else who struggles also…here are the things I’ve learned today:

1) Installing PHP5 is fairly painless from a Linux WebHost Manager.  You you have to go to Apache Updates, and I deselected PHP4.  The recompile takes 10 minutes or so though, so be ready to wait.

2) I spent hours trying to get the Slideshow Pro Director (an awesome application btw) installed on my server.  It ended up that installing PHP5 fixed all my data connectivity issues.  I tried so many other things, and PHP5 was my last resort.

3) Setting the upload limit for a single file using PHP can be adjusted from WHM,  by choosing the PHP Configuration Editor (or finding your php.ini file).
Of course, I know this is not all that much movie related, but I thought I’d jot it down somewhere in case it might help someone else!Here’s the link to the experimental gallery – www.inspiredthemovie.com/gallery
