- The current version of Stockbox
Photo® contains a .htaccess file called
.htaccess(stockbox) in the root directory.
Therefore, if you have created your
own .htaccess that has the RewriteRule
and this file resides in the same directory
as Stockbox or a parent directory, you
will need to make sure the existing
RewriteRule doesn't affect Stockbox's
RewriteRule. If there are no conflicts
you can copy the contents of the .htaccess(stockbox)
into the existing .htaccess file in
the Stockbox directory. If you don't
have an existing .htaccess file, you
can simply rename the .htaccess(stockbox)
to .htaccess

You will need to create a Master
Admin Account before logging into
the Admin Control Panel.

Important:
For security purposes,
after your first login to the Admin
Control Panel, please delete all
of the setup files that are listed
below before using the Stockbox
Photo® system.
database.inc.php file
setup.php file
setupconfig.php
file
SetupHostTest.php
file
Setuppermissioncheck.php

upgrade folder
and its contents
upgrade_tables.inc.php
file
DO NOT delete these
files until after you have successfully
logged into the Admin Control Panel.
There is a main
menu
(blue help icon) in the top right
corner of the gallery admin area.
There are also “mini” help menus
(red help icon) on each page of
the admin area.
We strongly recommend that you
backup your site and database locally
at regular intervals even if your
host provides this service.
When backing up you software files
via FTP, you MUST do so in
binary mode (the
same for re-uploading files from
a backup).
For technical
support, please submit a ticket
to our
Help Desk system.
