ok. I have one domain name with version 1.3. Upgrading was a nightmare!! Resotred it back. I have another domain I caould install the newer version on through fantastico. Its only the 1.4.8. Here my questions:

1.Can I install the 1.4.9 through fantastico without having to go through the upgrade process?
2. When I get the new version installed on the new domain whats the easiest and fastest way to get the albums to the new coppermine?
3. How will all this affect my users?

Don't use autoinstaller script !
you have two options:
- install new version (1.4.9) manualy and then reastore DB backup and files backup from old one
- first upgrade your old one to 1.4.9 (if you do as suggested under upgrading doc you will be just fine) and then move everyting to new domain

No ! Personally I didn't see any autoinstaller script that install CPG v 1.4.9

reastore DB backup and reastore albums folder and include/config.inc.php and anycontent.php and any other core file that has modification

CGPhotos: You need to upload the database aswell, then make sure include/config.inc.php points to the restored database.

webhigh: Please read the manual.

Where do I locate the Database that I need to upload?

Nibbler · « **Reply #6 on:** September 26, 2006, 10:06:11 pm »

Export the database from the old server to a .sql file then import it into the new database. You can use phpmyadmin for this.

Do I need to rename it? Should I zip it?

Nibbler · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2006, 10:52:52 pm »

Make sure include/config.inc.php points to the restored database.

ok, my old database was from a 1.3.3 version. I have a new domain on a different server that I installed the 1.4.9 version on. I am trying to get the albums and users moved to the new place

CGPhotos · « **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2006, 06:04:27 pm »

Is it possible to move the albums from 1.3 to a 1.4.9 version?

Sami · « **Reply #16 on:** September 28, 2006, 07:08:00 am »

You meen that your database contain two copy of each table one for 1.3.3 and one for 1.4.9?
If yes then you need tho first delete all of it (drop the database) and the re-create a new db and restore your old file , then go to config.inc.php and update the db info (db name,prefix , etc...)

CGPhotos · « **Reply #17 on:** September 28, 2006, 02:33:25 pm »

When I wne to the config.inc.php I get this:

Fatal Error
While executing query "SELECT * FROM cpg149_config" on 0

mySQL error: Table 'wxnjjdkd_copp1.cpg149_config' doesn't exist

you should download it to your local PC and edit it with a simple text editor such as notepad and change the prefix
