phpAlbum - Windows 2003 Installation

I found a few issues installing phpAlbum on a Windows 2003 server and I would like to share with you how I got it to work:

Note: these issues and solutions sumarize tips from this forum and other specialized sites (php, apache, etc). So, thank you all for your help:

- blank page: enable short_open_tag = on. If your php.ini doesn;t include the line 'short_open_tag = Off', add it and changeit to 'On'

- thumbnail not showing images: I installed a version of PHP that was compiled with no GD2 support. To check your php install, create the phpinfo.php script and open it. Search for the 'gd'. There should be a complete session specifying if GD Support is enable, GD version, etc. Here you can find a preconfigured PHP installation: http://www.aprelium.com/data/php522.exe. Make sure to uncomment the libe extension php_gd2.dll

- make sure that the PHP path is included into the system PATH
- make sure PHPRC is pointing to your PHP installation.

You can check 'errors.log' in the Apache install folder. You could see something like: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg(). If you see this error, you still have issues with the GD support.

I hope this info will be useful.
