You can run PiwiP (the PHP Scripts) on a php-server while the pictures are on another picture-server. It is essential that the picture-server allows directory-listing! PiwiP does not use a database (like mysql).

A short introduction of PiwiP:
- Be sure your picture-server has activated directory listing.
- Be sure no index.html (or index.htm) is in the (sub)directory of the gallery-path on the picture-server.
- You can use png, jpg, gif or bmp files.
- Adjust the url of the picture-server ($initialurl) in piwip.conf.
- Adjust the path of the include-directory ($includepath) in piwip.conf.
- Adjust the path of piwip.conf in index.php and gallery.php.

Limitations:
All comments/explanations (except this file and the GNU License) are in German.

Once installed it is for administrators very easy to expand the gallery, just create a directory with pictures on the picture-server (or add/change/delete some picture in an existing directory). The name of the directory will be shown in the html-output.
