Hi,
I'm new to coppermine as well as mysql and php. My box crashed a couple of days ago and I lost my apache, php and mysql installation. I do still have my coppermine folder and my pics etc cause they are on another drive.
Since then I have re-installed php, apache and mysql. However, I did not have the mysql database that coppermine uses backed up. Is there anyway to recreate the database from the coppermine install or will I just have to reinstall coppermine and start from scratch (ie. make all the albums again and put in the pics)??
If i do have to reinstall coppermine and start from scratch is there any way of porting my settings/albums and such from the old isntallation?
