Move the extracted files to /var/www/html/zenphoto/ directory as follows,

root@linuxhelp:/opt# mv zenphoto-zenphoto-1.4.11/ /var/www/html/zenphoto/

Now change the ownership for Zenphoto directory.

root@linuxhelp:/opt# chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/zenphoto

Here you need to create a new virtual host directive in Apache and the following lines in the file.

root@linuxhelp:/opt# touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/zenphoto.conf
root@linuxhelp:/opt# ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/zenphoto.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/zenphot.conf
root@linuxhelp:/opt# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/zenphoto.conf
< Virtualhost *:80> 
ServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/zenphoto/
ServerName linuxhelp
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
< Directory /var/www/html/zenphoto/> 
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
< /Directory> 
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common
< /VirtualHost> 

Restart the Apache web server to take effect.

root@linuxhelp:/opt# service apache2 restart
