A few questions about Coppermine

[Ralf Night]

1. Why i must uprgade cpg1.4.5 to cpg1.4.10?
2. Will i lost my pictures?
3. Why i`ll lost?
4. How much time is uprgading?
5. If i`ll uprgade, the informations will no lost?
6. The error "Fatal Error:" will not show again in 1.4.10?

I ask because i dont want to lost ANYTHING!

Thanks

[Nibbler]

Updating is mandatory. As with all software, new versions fix bugs and security issues. You won't lose anything if you do it correctly and the time it will take depends on your skill level.

1. Why i must uprgade cpg1.4.5 to cpg1.4.10? <-- Because its mandatory?
2. Will i lost my pictures? <-- I will not lost if i`ll make it correctly?
3. How much time is uprgading? <-- OK Thanks for the info

The error "Fatal Error:" will not show again in 1.4.10?

P.S. Where i can find step after step to uprgade 5 to 10?

[Nibbler]

Upgrading is explained in the manual. To resolve the fatal error enable debug mode - http://coppermine-gallery.net/tutorial/debug_mode.php

ARE YOU SURE THIS MOD WILL NOT MIXED UP MY GALLERY? Maybe first i`ll make a backup of database?

[Ralf Night]

But Nibbler! I dont ask how to manually enabling debug_mode for Coppermine, just how to uprgade? If i`ll uprgade this Fatal Error will not show? I Mean in 10 Fatal Error exist?

[Nibbler]

Look, to update you follow the update instructions in the manual.
To fix the fatal error you need to enable debug mode and see what the actual error is.

The two tasks are unrelated.

I made it! But it error is so often! I enable debug mode in 14:25, in 14:30 is again Fatal Error!

Nibbler already told you where: you're suppossed to read the manual. The one that comes with coppermine. The one that is available online as well. As you appear to be expecting to be spoon-fed, here's a deep link for you: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#14

3.5 Upgrading from cpg1.4.0 or better to version cpg1.4.10 <-- thats title, but i have cpg1.4.5 no cpg.1.4.0

[Joachim Müller]

That's why the words "or better" are there. They mean: version cpg1.4.0 or any newer version. Your version cpg1.4.5 is a better (newer) version. Stop playing games - RTFM! I'm not going to continue sppon-feeding you. Send me $500, and I'll read you the documentation over the phone and will explain everything. If you're not ready to spend this amount, do the reading for yourself.
