Title: changing hosts?
Post by: jamar190 on October 03, 2004, 09:50:45 pm

Hi, I had over 100 pictures on my gallery that was hosted on freelinuxhost. It has alot of on and off technology problems, and I couldn't even load the site for 2 days, but im hoping they didnt close it down or anything. I wanted to know if I can send my gallery over to another host and have all the same pictures in it.

Thanks

Yes, your files should be intact. Only thing might be to update database name/user/password in include/config.inc.php. It's also possible you might have to change CHMOD to make files/folder compatible on the new system.

Thanks for responding so quick. Since yes, is there a way how to transfer it if you cant load your host?

What do you mean you can't load your host?

if you mean you don't have access to your old webserver at all (neither ftp nor http), you're stuck. You need ftp to download all of your files, and you need a tool like phpMyAdmin to create a dump of your database (unless you have shell access to directly create the dump).
