GalAxML

This project is discontinued

Welcome to GalAxML, a new, alternative, front end for the popular Gallery project.

GalAxML provides your users with a nice, clean and intuitive interface for browsing your photos.

A demonstration is no longer available.

Imports your existing Gallery database (tested with version 1.4.3 and 1.4.4).
URL compatible with Gallery (mod_rewite users only). You won't loose your Google search hits.
Browser agnostic. GalAxML works with FireFox, Opera, Safari and even IE6
Configurable. Uses CSS where possible for layout. The XSLT can be modified easily to create the layout you need.
Valid. Choose between XHTML 1.1, 1.0 (Strict or Transitional) or HTML 4.01 (Strict or Transitional).
Manageable. Continue to use your existing Gallery instalation for uploading and managing your photos.
Free. GalAxML is licenced under the GPL.
Secure. No need to put your Gallery into 'configure' mode to make updates. No risk of cross site scripting vulnerabilities
Coded in Perl and XSLT. Powered by a CGI script or AxKit, an XML processing engine for Apache
Polls, comments, click counts and slideshows are currently not supported as GalAxML is based on a static database.

So what do you need to run GalAxML?

Apache 1.3 or 2 on Unix with mod_rewrite and the following Perl modules installed:

If you wish you can use AxKit to power GalAxML rather than the supplied CGI script, to do so you'll need to meet the minimum requirements for that project.
Currently only *nix platforms that meet the above criteria are supported. If you'd like to see Windows support please open a feature request
An existing Gallery database. Currently versions 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 are known to work. 1.5 will be tested when it gets a final release.

Downloads are available on the SourceForge project releases page.

The only documentation available at present is the README file, this is contained with the release package
