Post by: sicily18 on February 24, 2005, 08:01:50 pm

Can you move a gallery from one server to another? Say, i have a gallery on www.blahblah.com/gallery, would i be able to move it to www.yahdayahda.com/gallery?

Yes.
    * Backup your files: FTP-download your complete coppermine-folder to your hard drive
    * use a tool like phpMyAdmin to get a dump (backup) of your mySQL database entries. More info here
    * verify your backup is working: check if the mySQL-dump contains all data (open the zipped dump file and use a text editor to view it)
    * on the new server: FTP-upload your coppermine-folder to the new server
    * CHMOD the folder /albums to 755 or 777 (depending on your server config]
    * restore the mySQL table by running the queries of the dump files you created in step 2
    * test-drive your coppermine gallery - you should be done
