Lychee is not working
If Lychee is not working properly, try to open plugins/check.php. This script will display all errors it can find. Everything should work if you can see the message "Lychee is ready. Lets rock!".
What do I need to run Lychee on my server?
To run Lychee, everything you need is a web-server with PHP 5.3 or later and a MySQL-Database.
I can't upload multiple photos at once
If you experience problems uploading large amounts of photos, you might want to change the PHP parameters in .htaccess (if you are using the PHP Apache module) or in .user.ini (if you are using PHP >= 5.3 with CGI or FastCGI).
If possible, change these settings directly in your php.ini. We recommend to increase the values of the following properties:
max_execution_time = 200
post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
max_file_uploads = 100
Which browsers are supported?
Lychee supports the latest versions of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Photos you share with others can be viewed from every browser.
How can I set thumbnails for my albums?
Thumbnails are chosen automatically by the photos you have starred and in the order you uploaded them. Star a photo inside an album to set it as a thumbnail.
