Title: Installation at a new hoster : how to?
Post by: ryfe on February 18, 2006, 10:52:00 PM
Hi everybody,

My Coppermine Album works well, but I have to change my hoster.
It seems that install coppermine again (on my new hoster) is a bad idea as I have bakedup both my database and my coppermine files

But I don't know wich files to modify in order to make Coppermine "understand" I changed database and , perhaps, wich changement in the database I have to do.

I'm sorry for my bad english. I hope I have been clear enough in my explanations.

Thanks for helping

You just need to copy files over, import your database from previous database dump, then change include/config.inc.php to reflect your new db info.

Thanks a lot for helping  :)

Is there any other change I have to make on the database?
Because thaht doesn't work and I really dont understand why...  ???
I still get Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
???

Is the problem caused by something i did wrong? (In that case i will check & check again) or is there any point I have to verify?

Thanks a lot for helping  ;)


PS : I also made the changement in my phpbb.inc.php because i have a bridge with a board

as suggested: edit include/config.inc.php to match the new settings on the new server.

thank you!
Actually the problem were not located in include/config.inc.php but in bridge/phpbb.inc.php this file didn't match the new settings on the new server.
