Hi,
Please be patient and NO biting!!!
My articulation went out with my brain cells from designing my website the past 2 days.
I have read many posts regarding what I need help with but nothing completely answering it in it's entirety. I appreciate your help!
I am NOT asking about Fantastico. What I am asking after reading numerous posts where it was stated that Fantastico is buggy and when I originally installed my Gallery it was using Fantastico.
HOWEVER, now I am wanting to upgrade on my own without fantastico.
Here is my question that I haven't been able to find answers too!
If the files from Fantastico are buggy how will that affect when I go to upgrade the new file?
The next question I want to be sure of is I just finished changing all the colors on my template to match my website. Will I lose this when I ugrade? I am using the Water Drop theme with no hacks just as it came. The only thing I changed were the colors.
Also in the documentation it mentions if the file install.php exists in the root directory, delete it. Are they speaking about in my older version or the new 1.4.6 files?
I apologize again as I am totally new to all this and it has taken me a lot of time to get where I am.
Also I am confused about the doc/manual where it says to run the file "update.php" once in the browser. This confuses me. I was planning on transferring the appropriate files via my server to the folder designated for my current gallery but leave the albums and config.inc.php & anycontent.php files as is. Will this work.
Where I get confused in the notes is to in the browser
http://yourdomain.tld/coppermine/update.php this will update the coppermine. Will that depend on my directory. I have my domain/Gallery (instead of coppermine) what is the tld at the end of the domain.
I am feeling really stupid.
ps... I came back with another idea? Would it be easier to uninstall 1.4.2 gallery from my server but leave the back up files on my computer. Then install 1.4.6 as a new install and then replace the album file, config.inc.php & anycontent.php files with the ones from 1.4.2?
Thanks so much!!!
