Alright I have a small problem, I haven't uploaded any pictures yet but when I go to my http://inspiring-couple.com/coppermine/index.php my PHPmyAdmin keeps showing up instead of the main page to the Gallery. What should I do?

[Nibbler]

Did you install phpmyadmin into the same folder as Coppermine ??

I have no idea. What do I have to look for?

[Paver]

It sure looks like that's what was done.  The other Coppermine files are there, like displayimage.php, so that's my guess as well.

If you merely copy the Coppermine files into that directory again, it will overwrite any ones that phpMyAdmin overwrote.  Then install phpMyAdmin in a subdirectory named something like phpMyAdmin, either in your root or under Coppermine, as desired.

To clean up the Coppermine directory, you could look at the unpackaged phpMyAdmin to see what the files and folders are, then delete the ones that are not named the same as Coppermine's (like index.php).

So what do I have to do to get the main URL for the Gallery? I had someone else install it for me and that's why I don't know.

[Paver]

The main URL has been overwritten by phpMyAdmin.  It's no longer present on the server.  You need to recover Coppermine's index.php and any other files overwritten by phpMyAdmin for Coppermine to operate properly.

If you haven't put any photos into Coppermine yet, you could instead do a "clean upgrade" by making a backup of include/config.inc.php, then deleting the whole coppermine folder, copying a new folder with the Coppermine files, copying config.inc.php back into the new include folder, and then run Coppermine's update.php (basically following the upgrade steps in the docs).  Afterwards, you can carefully install phpMyAdmin someplace else.   

Or I guess, just delete everything and start over with a fresh install.

How would I recover the Coppermine index.php at?

[Paver]

Download the Coppermine package using the "Downloads" link at the top of this page, unzip it, and then copy index.php from the unzipped directory onto your web site. 

As I said, there might be other files that were overwritten.

I'll try and figure something out.
