Hey.
I wonder if it possible to move an installation of the gallery which are installed on a windows server to an linux server running suse 9.1. Is that possible? And what do i have to do? If u look at www.nacksparr.se/album/ u see that it is alot of images and albums to move. The new album on the new server could be found on http://213.112.56.211.
Anyone have an idea about this matter? Would really apreciate the help.
Many thx for the greatest gallery made ever!

There should be no difference for the operating system of the server the coppermine files are being hosted on, as long as you have set permissions according to the docs. Note that on Windows, there's no such thing as CHMOD (although there are of course permissions as well), while on Lunix there is CHMOD.
The installation can be moved by backing up the files and moving them over, then making a mySQL dump of the coppermine database (using a tool like phpMyAdmin) on the source server and restoring the database on the target server. As a final step of the move you will probably have to edit inculde/config.inc.php and adjust the mySQL data there. This is being described in the FAQ as well, and there are several postings that deal with server moves, please search the board for more details.
