1.backup from entire gallery (main directory with all folders)
2.backup from Mysql database (with 3rdparty app such as "Mysql administrator" , you can find it on http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/index.html)

aftem migrating
1.restore your Mysql database and should create username and password same as old
2.reastore your gallery and have fun

[Sami]

yes you should edit your include/config.inc.php and set the new prefix there

[gregy]

Sorry to rehash an old topic but I've followed Sami's instructions edited my config.inc.php. What should I be changing prefix to?


I'm getting the following in my /gallery/include/init.inc.php

Undefined variable: HTTP_POST_VARS
Undefined variable: HTTP_GET_VARS
Undefined variable: HTTP_COOKIE_VARS
Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS

I'm also getting:

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'databasename'@'server.myhost.com' (using password: YES)

First you should solve you mysql problem ,
It says that user doesn't have access to DB ,so go to your hosting control panel and create a mysql user with ALL previlages on CPG's DB and then update DB and user info on include/config.inc.php

Well, basically, it's a thread that deals with cpg1.3.x

There are two possibilities:

• you have cpg1.3.x, which goes unuspported (as in "no support at all")
  -> no point in replying here, as there really is no support for cpg1.3.x any longer
• you have cpg1.4.x -> in this case , you have tried to hijack a thread that doesn't deal with your coppermine version.

Be it as it may. Locking this thread.
