Product Description:
Share your iPhoto Libraries over the internet. As soon as you have uploaded pictures from your camera to your library, you want these pictures to get available to your friends, family or whoever. Moreover, let them easily download a bunch of pictures and import them in their own iPhoto library with your captions and comments (for your lucky friends also owning a mac).
WiPhA intends to be light for your server in terms of cpu and memory usage, and to provide all they need to easily browse your pictures, even in a big library.

Snow Leopard on a Unibody MacBook Pro; Does not complete the installation. Takes me to a page which says "FORBIDDEN" "You don't have permission to access /~(user name)/wipha on this server."
WiPHA v2.5 works on Snow Leopard (10.6) - Version: 2.5, 9/3/2009 05:34AM PST

Installed WiPHA v2.5 works with iPhoto 8.1 (latest update to the iPhoto that comes with iLife '09) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
We've tested many different solutions for photo management over the past few years and iPhoto + WiPHA fits our need with the best balance of speed (as fast as you can use iPhoto to edit the collection) and shared access (the searchable web access is great).
We added a cron job using Cronnix http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9478 to push iPhoto updates/changes at a regular interval, rather than waiting for a web visitor to trigger the cached image update in WiPHA.
Merci, M. Feblot! Vous rock!

Not ready for prime time. I'd like to see if the earlier versions worked. This one does not.
1) This desperately needs an uninstaller, particularly since it alters several settings in system files.
2) It is great to have English text, lousy to have French screenshot text.
3) Immediately after installation one of my browsers (not my default browser btw which is OmniWeb, but instead Camino) did indeed try to do something. But the URL it was sent was WRONG. It tried to open ~/(user)/wipha/ There ain't no such thing folks! Very naughty. So I attempted to get a variety of my browsers to open the correct location, which is ~/(user)/sites/wipha/ to no avail whatsoever. If I take the index.php file from that folder, which I have to assume is the target file, I get one of two results depending upon the browser. I either get a blank window, which is most certainly not the promised login interface, or I get the raw text of the .php file. This was the case in Safari.
Conclusion: This particular version is rubbish, at least from my particular experience on 10.4.11. Hopefully they will do some repair and verification then post a working version soon.
