Any suggestions for a free web based photo gallery that I can host?

[vi edit]

I know about pbase and phototrail, and the like, but I want something that I store on my own webserver. I need to publish close to 200 pictures and having it on my own equipment will make the job much, much easier.

I would prefer something as canned as possible. I can do HTML, but perl/cgi/java/php/ect are out of my league.

Thanks

Czar, will that sourceforge one work under Win2k server?

Image Arcadia is a really nice script for hosting pictures .. you have to create the thumbnails from the full size pics yourself, but other then that, it's very customizable. Works perfectly on Apache/Unix or IIS/Windows platforms.

Here's a link to one gallery I have setup using the script: Spring Break - Hawaii '02

The script used to be available from ImageArcadia.com, but that site has been down for a long time now. If you decide you want the install archive for ImageArcadia, PM me and I'll send it to you. If enough people are interested, I'll set up a download link. The version that I have is completely free.

gallery works very well imo... my friend runs it on his web server and it's pretty easy to use.

SWEET!

LView get's better all the time. It's got a built in batch image resizer and gallery builder. It's free, and it builds them in HTML. No need for fancy schmancy cgi and perl interpreters.

I HIGHLY recommend IDS (Image Display System). Upload one pic, it does all the formatting for you.

See it in action

notfred and I are trying to get his running on IIS, but for some reason, IIS is being pissy with CGI files. It just locks up when trying to process them.

Humpf. :|

Did he show you the demo? It's friggin awesome. Hope he can get it to run right on 2k.

Yep, we worked on it. He got it running on Win2k using the apache port, but IIS is still in development. We're pretty sure that it's just something trivial(and stupid) that we're missing, just can't figure out which switch/flag/checkbox/file association we need to dink around with to get it to work.

I got it running great on APache 2 on windows. The problems we're having are a fault of IIS (or our inablilty to use it) rather than my scripts or the OS.
