If you are using any previous version then go to Update instructions

INSTRUCTIONS: 


-Unrar/extract the files to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder (recommended) or anywhere you like to. 

-Create a Virtual directory in IIS, name it Album. Point it to the folder "Album" you  made in the previous step.

-Define a System DSN to add the database "album.mdb" .

-Define a new site in Dreamweaver, name it Album. Choose the folder "Album"  you made in the first step (For Dreamweaver users only)

-Define a MX DSN or MX DSN-less Connection (in DWMX) name it "ConAlbum" (For Dreamweaver users only)

-index.asp is the start page where nav.asp contains the navigation

-Use Username: test and Password: test to login. You can change the Username to Admin or anything you want, similarly the Password in the Table "tbl_members" in album.mdb. It is important that the "fld_status" is "Super" for administrators and "normal" for all other users (which is set automatically in album.mdb). 

**********************************Very Imporant ************************************
make sure that the folder "images" and the database "album.mdb" has the Read/write RIGHTS for IUSR Accounts (For NTFS File System). As a new user registers a folder with his username is created in the folder "images" and all the images added by that user will be uploaded to there.
**********************************Very Imporant ************************************



In the file "userremind.asp", email_pic.asp and contact.asp, change the details like your smtp and username, password and email etc. By default Cdo/Cdonts will be used for email purposes. You can also switch to ASPEMAIL, just open the above mentioned pages in the code view and follow the instructions.


In order to show visitors your photo album you have to inform them your username.

***************************************************************************************

Update instructions:

The database structure is same but the Field and table naming is now decent, this means just updating files will not help you keep your previous pics.

So there are two ways to solve the problem, before that backup your "old database" and "images folder".

Keep your "images folder" as it is. 

1) Open the new and old database and rename the "table and field" names in the old database as in the new database (you can easily guess the names to be changed, no panic ).

2) Copy the content of each "Field" in the both tables to the new database.
