Thanks for downloading the gelbooru source code. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

To install:

Make sure to fill in the information in config.php

Visit your site url to install. http://yoursite/install

You will need to use some functions in MySQL in order to use the notes and some comments. Be sure to execute these as well.

Code is located in db.sql



When you are done installing, delete the install folder. Yes, the whole folder.

Give images and thumbnails folders writable permissions.


Check to make sure these are enabled in your php.ini

extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_dba.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_exif.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll // doesn't need to be uncommented, but doens't hurt in case we start converting this over.
extension=php_openssl.dll

gd.jpeg_ignore_warning = 1


gelbooru.xml should be renamed and the link inside the file edited to make sure you can actually use the Firefox search.

Header.php and index.php in the includes folder need to be modified to fit your server setup.

#####

If you are upgrading or installing for the first time:

Disable the stopword file ( ft_stopword_file ) for MySQL and set ft_min_word_len to 1 or whatever you expect the minimum character length used in tags to be.
After that is done, please run "repair table posts;" and also "repair table forum_topics; repair table forum_posts;" in the MySQL command prompt.

Delete the upgrades and install directory afer you are done.
