<?php
// Coppermine configuration file

// MySQL configuration

P.S.  idea - if i ran the db install again, would my information re appear? and would i lose 1000 pictures?

don't!
It should be quite easy to fill in the missing vars into the config.inc.php file, like this

<?php
// Coppermine configuration file

// MySQL configuration
$CONFIG['dbserver'] =                         'localhost';        // Your databaseserver
$CONFIG['dbuser'] =                         'root';        // Your mysql username
$CONFIG['dbpass'] =                         '';                // Your mysql password
$CONFIG['dbname'] =                         'ohfishin_p_bb1';        // Your mysql database name


// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg132_';
?>

GauGau thank you for the reply, i dont mean to be an idiot, but i dont know what to write...

[Joachim Müller]

you fill in the database details the same way you would when installing. What exactly is unclear for you?

Wasnt that done automatically? i do not remember editing that ...... is it possible that db install proviided the information? I dont know what to write, do i use symbole? i dont know the awnsers to the "table prefix" etc

[Joachim Müller]

who installed coppermin for you. The person who installed should be able to answer.

The prefix is easy to find, using your database tool.

Just open your database, and see what prefixes you have for the coppermine tables.
The other info is what you filled in in the install screen, regarding the name, password etc for the database.
