Does anyone know of good photo sharing server software (http) that would work well with Slackware? I have tried things like gallery, but the problem is that I have 1000s of pics that I want to host so adding them one at a time to the gallery database is
1. time consuming/ impossible
and
2. a waste of space as I don't want duplicates (just thumbnails)
Is there something that allows you to import a whole directory of pics already on the server and then display them though http ?
There might be a kipi-plugin which does something that you want. Once they are compiled, you can access the plugins from kphotoalbum, digikam and gwenview.
Just to clarify:
I need something that runs server side. ie: creates webpages for http clients with thumbnails, etc. Something that can use the existing directory structure of a partition on the server already containing many photos.
Sounds like you need to be creating your own PHP scripts for this task. Try this link http://lamphowto.com
That link simply helps with setting a web server which I already have. Thanks anyways though.
I think you're right though: I may need to write my own PHP scripts as there doesn't seem to be much out there that allows importing of a whole directory without re-coping all the photos.
I was hoping to be lazy and not have to learn PHP. :P

Actually just looked at this again. It seems that konqueror has this capability built in. Just open the directory containing your photos with konqueror, then click on >tools>create image gallery. This then creates thumbnails of the images and a web page that links to them all.
