Seriously,  this looks to be the best open source photo manager I have found.  I have also wasted a crap load of time because someone doesn't feel it is necessary to list the php modules required.  If they are listed, sorry, but they are not easily found (I've used the search button, and google, and smoke signals).

Steps
  Made new Jail in FreeNAS UI

  Get to a shell in the jail (I like to SSH into freenas then jexec into a shell {command 'jls' will show your jails, then 'jexec [jail number] /bin/tcsh')

  This webpage shows how to setup PHP Nginx and MySql (NOTE: i installed 'nano' so i didnt have to use vi [pkg install nano]) >> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … eebsd-10-1 (i used mariadb55-server instead of mysql56-server)

(another note: just copy and paste his nginx.conf file.. the new default nginx.conf file isn't compatible trying to just make the edits, unless you know what your doing... i dont)

  After you finish that successfully, and you haven't killed yourself, lets continue

  run 'pkg install ImageMagick php56-exif php56-hash php56-session php56-filter php56-json php56-gd'

  goto the /usr/local/etc directory and run 'nano php.ini' , uncomment the date.timezone line and make it look like the following(no single qoutes) 'date.timezone = "America/New_York"'
(i do not know if this causes a failure on the install, but itshows over 100 entries on the error.log file)

  create a blank database in mysql for piwigo



  to install piwigo, i used the manual method ( i think you might need the zip php module to net install)

  you need to change the owner of your piwigo directory to user 'www'. do this from the parent directory of your piwigo directory "chown www [yourpiwigo directory]"  ( I also gave everyone permissions for my piwigo folder, >> 'chmod -R 777 [piwigo directory]')

  Even after all of this, and you will goto the directory on your computer, i used the directory 'photo'.  so it was [jail ip]/photo   that will give you a initial setup page. y ou will enter everything in there, and hit install (i can't remember what the button was) and the page will be blank.  then just goto to [jail ip]/photo again and it should work... if you did everything right

If anyone knows of any other PHP modules that I have not installed that I should, please let me know.  I might just install every module to cover all of my bases.


Good luck all

Maybe a nice person would put this into a FreeNAS plugin and earn some beers.
