Need help to restore my gallery

Hello,

It's probably something simple but I wasn't able to find an answer to my problem.

My host recently moved my website to a new server and to make a long story short, everything in the coppermine folder was lost except for the albums folder. The database remained intact, except that I had assign it a new user with a new password.

I have uploaded the latest version of coppermine on my server (I am upgrading from v1.4.10 to v1.4.10) without touching to the albums folder.
I have uploaded a modified version of include/config.inc.php with the correct information.
I have deleted the install.php in the root directory.
However, the gallery remains empty.

What file(s) need to be edited to make the gallery notice the information in the database and in the albums folder?

The gallery is currently password protected to prevent my visitors from flooding me with questions but if anyone need to access it, just enter the username "test" with the password "test".

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Coppermine v1.4.10
PHP version: 4.4.4
MySQL version: 4.1.21-standard

I have managed to pinpoint the problem and solve it.

Since uploading the backup of an old database didn't solve the problem and the documentation didn't make mention of any configuration file that I wasn't already aware of, I uploaded a fresh copy of Coppermine, set up a new database and compared it with the old one. Apparently, all the backups I have performed over the years used "cpg140_albums" (Table) but the fresh installation used "cpg1410_albums". So, I added the missing "1" in every entry and everything works fine now.
