Existing users, 
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.

1) I agree a backup would be good. But anyway, Wipha creates backup copies of the system file it modifies (Apache config). If you don't know what has changed, you can let it how it is, it won't harm you. If you know what has changed, I will be easy for you to replace the backup with the original file.2) Well, excuse me to be french, and to have french comments in my own iPhoto Library. I hope you understood what the screenshot is supposed to demonstrate.
3) Looks like you don't really know what you talk about on this one. If you have not modified the Apple default Apache configuration, the folder /Users/<user>/Sites is reached with the URL http://<machine>/~<user>.
It has been working this way for everybody of MacOSX, maybe you should ask yourself why it doesn't work for you.
And if your browser displays php code instead of executing it, it seems you even did not (properly?) run the installer.
Conclusion: I don't really like the way you insult my work and thus myself. This does not make me feel like helping you to troubleshot your installation. This installer has been working for almost everybody as far as I know. Most of the time when it didn't, reinstalling solved the problem.
At last, if you have some basics on Apache conf, you'll be able to solve this by yourself, instead of waiting for the installer to do the job. I should/could have released wipha without any installer at all after all. The important part is the php code.
