Lychee is a free, easy to use and great looking photo-management-system you can run on your server to manage and share photos. Just download the source and follow the instructions to install Lychee wherever you want.
-> Lychee will create the Database and Tables for you
$dbUser = Your MySQL username
$dbPassword = Your MySQL password
$dbHost = Your MySQL host (in most cases you can use localhost)
You can upload photos directly with every FTP client into Lychee. This feature helps you to share single images quickly with others.
1. Upload an image to `uploads/import/`
2. Navigate your browser to the place where Lychee is located (e.g. `http://example.com/view.php?p=filename.png`). `filename.png` must be replaced by the filename of your uploaded file.
3. Share the link.
Lychee will import the file as an public image, delete the original (unused) file and show it in the browser. [Sample FTP configuration](http://l.electerious.com/view.php?p=13657692738813).
To update Lychee, simply replace all files, excluding the following ones:
`uploads/`, `php/config.php`
## Troubleshooting
If Lychee is not working properly, try to open `php/check.php`. This file will take a look at your configuration and displays all errors it can find. Everything should work if you can see the message "Lychee is ready!".
