Coppermine Installation

Get a FREE Coppermine installation with SiteGround Coppermine hosting Package!

In order to install Coppermine manually you will have to download the application files. You can download Coppermine from here.

Once you have downloaded the zip file to your local hard drive, please, go to your cPanel -> FileManager and upload the file to your public_html folder. After you have finished uploading the file, extract it using FileManager. You should end up with a folder called cpg14x (where x is a number). You can rename the folder according your personal preference. For example you can set the folder name to "gallery". In this way your Coppermine gallery will be accessible through http://yourdomainname.com/gallery.

Next you need to create a database for your Coppermine Gallery. Click here to learn how to create a MySQL database and then come back on this page to continue with the installation.

Once you are ready with the database, you can proceed to the Coppermine web installer and enter the corresponding details. You can access it at http://yourdomainname.com (assuming you have decided to install the script in the main directory for the web site content, otherwise add the gallery folder in the above URL).

Click on the Let's Continue button, that will automatically log you in to your freshly installed Coppermine Photo Gallery. Congratulations!
