I set up The Openphoto Project on my localhost this morning and kept a few notes: You don’t need to have aws accounts, you can use the file system but you don’t know this until you start going through the site setup after the software, db and web server are nicely talking. In my case I got an answer on the irc channel. Once I got the software, db and webserver configured and running I navigated through the setup steps and ran into the following: I was getting an
“Insufficient privileges to complete setup”
message that says to make sure my user can write to:
/your/path/to/frontend/src/userdata.
However I didn’t see a userdata folder in
/path/to/frontend/src/
My user did own the frontend folder and everything below it and I almost went to irc to ask for advice. As I was typing out my question it occurred to me to manually make the directory myself and reload the page, who knows right?
$ mkdir userdata
Lo and behold, it worked. Awesome. Lets continue. After a bit of irc advice to change MAMP’s MySQL port to 3306 - I got through the configuration steps and added some photo’s. Yay!
