Hey. I've searched old posts for moving to a new server, and followed as best I can. But I am seriously database stupid, and totally confused now. Here's what I've done so far. Hope it makes sense. TIA for any help.
I just moved my business to a new host. Long ago, I manually installed coppermine (1.3.1) on that old server. Now I've FTP'd all those coppermine files to my harddrive. I just installed 1.3.3, on the NEW server, using Fantastico. Then proceeded to FTP old files to the new server...until all folders looked about the same. Really technical, huh?! ::)
So far, I can login (as fantastico instructed) perfectly. But the album is empty. THEN I read on these forums, to download a copy of my OLD db and restore it to the NEW server via Cpanel. ......here's where I get confused. Of course the old db has a different name. So now I've got 2 different databases listed in MySQL. Can I rename the old one? Upload it and override the fantastico created one?
Should I delete the fantastico install and start over a different route?
Thanks for your help!

Edit include/config.inc.php and fill in the correct information for the database you want to use.
