Hello,
First of all, I did search for this topic and followed the instructions on how to move CPG to the new web hosting but it is not sucessful. So, I need help here for more advise. I cannot make a dump or backup my SQL database from the old web hosting and the tech support is not helpful at all. So, I did ftp the whole coppermine directory from the old web hosting to my HD. My new web host has Cpanel and I did install the CPG and upgrade it to the newest version by running update.php without any problem. Then, I uploaded the albums folder from my HD to the new hosting. I did not make change include/config.inc.php since the information in there is correct. Now, when I go to the website, I see brand new picture gallery with nothing in there. Can someone please let me know if I'm missing any steps or I did anything wrong? You help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CP
The gallery info is in the database. If you can't get the dump, you'll have to start over. There are a couple of options for doing mass uploads of files in the albums folder.

I still can get to the old web hosting site. Is there any way that I can do to get them moved over? I don't want to redo them again. It's a lot of works.
Thanks.
Use a db tool like phpMyAdmin on your old server to get a dump of database.

I'm also having somewhat the same problem... Can "batch adding" files help me to get the database ?
No ! read the link that abbas ali point out (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/faq.htm#BackupDatabase (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/faq.htm#BackupDatabase))
