If I were to switch servers... how could I do so without having to re-do the whole entire gallery. Is there a way?

backup all your files to your hard drive
get a dump of your database with phpMyAdmin (refer to the faq)
Put all the files on the new server (preserving the folder/file structure of your old server)
CHMOD albums directory to 777 or 755
restore the dump previously created (in step 2) with phpMyAdmin
edit the file include/config.inc.php and modify it to fit you new server's mySQL settings
You're done

I did this, everything worked, except people can't upload... And the Albums directory IS set at 777

Error:

you haven't configured Coppermine yet (the "Path to ImageMagick 'convert' utility").

Quote

Error executing ImageMagick - Return value: 127

means that the convert executable hasn't been found where you specified it to be.

Search the board for

Error AND executing AND ImageMagick AND AND Return AND value AND 127

for details.

make sure all your files were uploaded correctly (using the proper ftp mode) - get a fresh package and re-upload. Posting a link might help as well.

Joachim Müller · « **Reply #7 on:** May 04, 2004, 07:34:10 am »

did you copy include/config.inc.php to your new server and change the settings in it to match your mySQL settings?

GauGau

Roshlin · « **Reply #8 on:** May 04, 2004, 03:55:17 pm »

Hi Gaugau,
That was it, I changed all the values for the config, besides the table prefix, as I hasd left it as default,
but somehoe it was cpg11d_ and in my sql it was cpg130_, changes it and for now I can see the gallery.

Thanks
Now this is not for this forum, but don't know where to ask.
I started looking for a gallery landed here and am thrilled to have somehting like this. Which ofcourse without the help of this forum would have not been possile, as you'll must have realised with my varios newbie posts.
Going through the forums I have seen that cpg is available for phpnuke and post nuke also, All look good but what is the difference in the gally itself and in phpnuke and post nuke. If someone can push me to a link where I could find the answers.
If not I understand that this is not the palce for it, and will be equally thankful and grateful, for this wonderful script.
Thanks again
Roshlin

Hi,
Sorry I'm back again.
Now after login as admin I can access all menus (users, cat, groups etc.) but not the config.
I also did the update database in the tools.
Please help.
Thanks
Roshlin

for nuked coppermine, visit http://www.nukephotogallery.com/modules.php?name=Forums
What do you actually mean you can't access the config. Is there an error message?

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
This is the error and only in the config menu.

as the name and error message suggests: contact your server admin...

Oops, that's you

. Can't tell you what went wrong, your server seems to be misconfigured. Maybe an apache2 issue (apache 2 is not recommended for production/stable use yet afaik).

I followed the instructions above but I don't know how to restore the dump previously created with phpMyAdmin. There is no restore function in phpMyAdmi. Please help!!! Other than that I edited the file include/config.inc.php and modify it to fit my new server's mySQL settings. I copied all the files including the images to my new server too.

Thanks,
CP

In phpMyAdmin, under SQL. Browse to the location of the .sql file you created when you did your dump.

Many Thanks. I just did restore successfully but still did not see my albums, images, and configuration. I'm still getting the blank coppermine gallary. Please help! :\'(

Verify the tables exist and have all the data in them.

I have 2 set of tables. The first set are started with cpg11d_ with the data in them (These set are the old tables that I just restored). The second set are started with cpg132_ with no data. If I change the include/config.inc.php to cpg11d_ , I will get an error. If I change the include/config.inc.php to cpg132_ , I will get the blank coppermine gallary. $:-\$ \

Hold on a minute. What version of Coppermine were you running? And what version are you running now?

I am not sure what version fo rthe old one because it was installed on the old web server and it was gone. I was able to backup before they wiped out the whole server. The version that I'm running now is 1.3.2 (I believe) because I just downloaded.
