Has anyone installed Gallery on Lion or the new Mountain Lion servers yet? If so any detailed instructions out there? I'm thinking of making this move.

Tom, I don't think that would even be a wise choice "server" wise... But if you can get php and mysql installed you can pretty much get Gallery installed.

At least its unix, so it should be easy enough if you install MAMP

I think it really just comes down to experience. It works on just about every platform. Windows/*ix etc.

Would be nice to see someone document it too.

I might throw a VMware session up and do it if I get bored.

Well not sure why you don't think it would be a wise choice but I do think both PHP and mysql are installed. I guess I'll play with it and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.

http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:FAQ#What_information_is_required_when_I_ask_for_help_in_the_forums.3F <--- That explains how to make a Phpinfo.php and verify PHP is running. Try that.

Well it seems that PHP and Mysql are all running and I started the installation. I got as far as the database part but when I put in my username and password for the data base I get this:

"We were unable to connect to your MySQL server with the username and password that you provided. Please go back and try again!"

I know it is set up because I can use a Terminal window and login with the name and passwords I supplied in Gallery and can also verify that the database (gallery3) does exists. I'm thinking it may be a permissions problem from the web server but not sure where to look.

Any ideas?

Tom

I don't know why I didn't think of that. It worked!

Thanks,

It really works on Mountain Lion. Thanks for the advice that IP issue helped for local host.

I'm not a Mac person, so can someone tell me if Mountain Lion v10.8 is the right one?

I'm pulling that now and building a VMware session after the weekend. I'll try to document it the best I can but I might need some other input from you Mac people.

Sorry for the late check in but yes, 10.8 is correct.

Thanks Tom!

I got it running now.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I should install first? I'm probably going to google for a bit because my mac skills are non existent. ;)
