Hi,
My Coppermine gallery was working fine these past few weeks and I was happily adding pics, etc. It was installed in a subdirectory (
http://gallery.khalsanet.org). Then yesterday I got this error:
"Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !
MySQL said: Incorrect database name 'copperminegallery '"
There was some dns problem my host tried to correct and they made an announcement (see below). Can anyone figure out what could have gone wrong with the changes they made and how I can rectify it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An important change has been made to our DNS servers that affects all users of HomepageUniverse. We have introduced a new secondary nameserver to improve redundancy for our DNS.
Earlier today, some users may have experienced some outage of services hosted at HomepageUniverse. This may also have included our main site and these forums. This unavailability was due to a DNS issue caused by the introduction of the new secondary DNS for HomepageUniverse. This problem was quickly spotted and rectified.
We now have everything working correctly and also have a brand new secondary DNS server. ns2.homepagenames.net now runs on a completely separate network, so as to increase redundancy of DNS. So any problem such as the one we experienced earlier should not happen again.
The HomepageUniverse DNS are now as follows:
ns.homepagenames.net 216.127.78.156
ns2.homepagenames.net 67.18.182.34
(The primary nameserver is unchanged)
For most users, no change is neccessary, but for those of you who use customised nameservers - provided through your reseller account - you should update your DNS records and also modify the secondary nameserver's IP that you have registered with your domain's registrar.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
