Later you can register yourself as a new user and set the "fld_status" as super in the database (album_pro.mdb) to have admin Priviledges. You may delete the user "test" later at any time. It is important that the "fld_status" is "Super" for administrators and "normal" for all other users (which is set automatically in album_pro.mdb).

After setting up the Album successfully, on running the Application for the First time, you will see the "Configuration page".

Please provide the asked info (e.g. Image component (aspjpeg, aspimage etc), Mail component (e.g. aspemail, cdo etc.), E-mail account details (e.g. smtp server, username, port, password etc.)) Correctly otherwise the Application will not run properly.

One of the important info in configuration page is “Root folder/ URL “. It is important for the Html editor to function.
This is the URL to your root folder e.g. assuming that you are using Microsoft IIS server, if the folder "album_pro" is in "wwwroot" folder (i.e. IIS root folder) then the URL is : http://localhost/album_pro or it can be http://www.yourwebsite.com

After Configuration:

-After Configuration it will automatically ask you to define Categories & Subcategories (if not go to Admin Section)

-After defining Categories & Subcategories you will be able to upload PICS.

-You can Rename/ Change Categories & Subcategories anytime, to do so go to the Admin Section.

-If you like your Visitors to show your Photo Album, just forward them the "VISITERS ID" you entered when you registered. Via Link "Visitors" they can access your album.
