Hi All as you all know I am fairly new to the linux community but I think i have come along way in a short period of time... anyways I have apache server running.. and I have it hosting two seperate sites that i have been working on for a bit...here is what I want to do and I had this setup along time ago when I first tried to get into linux but a guy from the USA helped me do allot of it and I can't find the HDD with this setup on it.. it was also a Ubuntu server,,,

I want to host a website for my Karate Club (we are a small club without allot of money to spend on this stuff)

(1) Host website (running but would like to be able to have my friend log in and update pages etc himself not have to give me the stuff to add) (winblows user knows nothing about the backend)
(2) Have a gallery type software where people from the club can log in and add photos and galleries them self web based bu galleries view availible to public viewing (had this before but can't remember software used)
(3) maybe some way of allowing people to chat live with each other Im thinking something like phpbb or something simple

if anybody has any ideas for this project or could lend a hand getting it up and running I would be extremley greatful

Thanks in advance
Mike Dennison

Personally I quite like ZenPhoto ( http://www.zenphoto.org/ ). it isn't in portage, but is really simple to untar and setup.

It is predominantly a gallary toolkit, but it does have a very well maintained CMS to form a pseudo-blog/wordpress interface so you can write article and such (zenpages).

my headless runs nginx, php, mysql, zenphoto with regards to something similar

Hi I found the software that was on my old server it was gallery but it looks like they are going out of service soon...

Zenphoto looks interesting..

once I lunch the site I really want it to be able to be maintained by the community of the club... so I can sort of forget about it if you know what I mean.. but I don't want just anyone to be able to access my servers....

Will Zenphoto allow me to setup a user account for people that can upload pictures to the gallery etc.. or is it kinda wide open thing... it also looks like zenPhoto could be used to run the entire site so I would not have to make a seperate website and like it to zenphoto..

Sorry I am new to this.. and i remember my site that a friend setup for me .. but he has passed from cancer so I'm 100% on my own.. my HTML coding skills are extremly basic so if this is the case is it hard to setup Zenphoto to be the entire site?

I hope I am explaining things correctly...

So I'm trying to install zenphoto onto one of my sites but I keep getting this problem and no idea how to fix this but only way I am able to get to this website is from the external internet for some reason i can't see my pages from my local network...

This might be an KISS alternative.
