Sudden problem

[neerajkessery]

First things first.... gr8 prog and easy to use.

I have installed and used coppermine for the past 6 months however from a few days ago I can not get into my gallery.  I have made no changes neither have I worked on my site in the last month.  The message I get is. My site is www.indianconnection.co.za

Coppermine Photo Gallery seems not to be installed correctly, or you're running coppermine for the first time. You'll be redirected to the installer. If your browser doesn't support redirect, click here.

Please help

There's no coppermine gallery on the URL you refered to. Post a deep link to your actual gallery location, don't force us to get familiar with your navigation.
If you get a message like

, this means that coppermine can't find the files that were created during install (include/install.lock and/or include/config.inc.php). Make sure both files exist - if they don't, restore them from a backup.

Sorry...
This is the link to my gallery

www.indianconnection.co.za/gallery

Have not made any amendments to the site so was just surprised that from day to the next, it did not work.  Can I download the files you speak of that are missing?  If yes, where should I place them?

http://www.indianconnection.co.za/gallery/include/config.inc.php is missing (accidentally deleted maybe). This file is used to store your database settings. Therefor, you can't download a fresh copy of that file, but you will have to use http://www.indianconnection.co.za/gallery/include/config.inc.php.sample (FTP-download that file to your client, use a plain text editor to edit it with your mySQL settings, then rename it to config.inc.php and upload it into the folder http://www.indianconnection.co.za/gallery/include/).

However, you're running the totally outdated cpg1.3.3, so once you have restored your missing config file you should upgrade asap (most recent coppermine version is cpg1.4.10).

I wish I knew what you mean by ".......edit it with your mySQL settings, " but I do not.  I am very new at this and would really appreciate some guidelines on how to get this done.  What exactly I need to edit it with and where do I find mySQL settings.
Thx

Look at http://www.indianconnection.co.za/gallery/include/config.inc.php.sample - it should give you an idea what to fill in. Ask your webhost if you're not sure. We can't tell you more, as this is totally up to your server setup.
