Title: Which file in the hierarchy stores cpg_comments table?
Post by: overdrivechao05 on October 08, 2005, 08:27:29 PM

Thanks for reading! My fiancee had a bunch of pictures and comments using coppermine on a friends site, and the server had to be shut down. so the friend sent us the .tar.gz backup of the site. all she needs is the comment info per picture, and since i dont have a server ive been looking at files in wordpad and stuff trying to find where the comments are saved.
does anyone know if i can get that info without coppermine installed or an easy windows based emulator i can use just to view the gallery so she can get the comment info off?

Thanks a million!!

Comments are stored in the cpg_comments table in the database.

ok i went into dos and converted all the *.php to *htm so windows could see inside all the files to find cpg_comments... but to no avail. what is the name of the file and the assumed location of the same file that hold comment table info!? ^^

I don't know where your mysql install saves it's data. Usually it's in the mysql folder. The data dir. Here find a folder matching your db name... eg. cpg135. Inside are a lot of *.frm, *.myd, *.myi files. The ones with *_comments.* hold the comments table. Best is to move the folder over to a working mox and place it there in the mysql data dir. Then use a tool like phpmyadmin to export the necessary data

Look in mysql.sql with your text editor, that's the most likely candidate.
