Title: [Solved]: Webhost went under and I lost my gallery access
Post by: EpicenterDesigns on April 22, 2009, 05:36:36 am
I found the new webhosting I think I am going to use and they also offer coppermine like my last one did.
Will I be able to access my old gallery thru the new host?
I would hate to have to try to upload 1200+ images again and get all my thread on the www with images straight.
My gallery link was http://epicenterdesigns.com/photo-gallery/index.php

Do not acept this offer, install Coppermine manually as explained in the docs. Here you will find why we are not fond of auto-installer--> http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/auto-installers.htm#auto-installers (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/auto-installers.htm#auto-installers)

I just check that your site it's down. Do you still have access through a FTP client to your files?

I finally got some info.

I was told there was a back-up before the servers went down.
But then I was also told that there is no access to the old FTP as the data center was shut down and reformatted.


I signed up with bluehost.com and I am working on getting my site back up and I still want to use Coppermine.
I will be reading all the DOCs and see if I can figure things out.
I'm not the most computer savvy person you would meet.

Don't worry. Installing coppermine is very easy if you follow the docs on this site. Make sure you know how to use your ftp program (or download something like filezilla if you do not) and gather all the required details from your host before you start. You will need your MySql details and your FTP details.

If you run into trouble while installing come back and start a thread in the Installation board and I am sure we can help.
