Fatal Error

[ct.avdude]

I work for a summer camp and we use Coppermine for an online gallery to show parents pictures of their campers while there away at camp.  Unfortunately we now get a fatal error on our site and the lady we had set up the site for us is one vacation.  We would like the get the site up and working again as soon as possible, but really have now idea how to access the script.  The site is www.camptakodah.org/2007.  We would appreciate any help you can give us.

If you don't have admin acces to the server you're stuck. If there were a backdoor in, hackers would use it as well.
You'll at least need FTP access and/or access to phpMyAdmin or another database manipulation tool to do anything about this.
If you're the one who pays the bills for webhosting, you could ask your webhost for support. If you don't, you're stuck and will have to wait for the coppermine admin to return.

Site seems to work normally for me today

Yesterday when I had a look, it just displayed "Fatal error", nothing else, so I guess that "ct.avdude" managed to get the site back on track and just failed to resolve his/her thread here.

I'm the coppermine admin for this, checking in from overseas.   I got things working normally by determining that problem was in database.  I set up new database and linked original coppermine install to the new database so the camp can upload pictures from the current session.   What I'll need help with is how to repair the original database so folks can see all the pictures from earlier in the summer.

If you're currently running on a newly created database table, it will be nearly impossibly to merge the data from the old one and the new one, so I suggest fixing the old one pretty quickly.
