Title: Want to upgrade without losing data and settings
Post by: wwedivas on April 18, 2008, 07:21:16 AM
Hey my whole coppermine gallery has been hacked with coding that puts harmful malware on computers. So I desperately need to update the software.. but I want to do this without all my pictures, settings, comments, and other date being deleted. I don't want to have to re-setup all the settings, remake all the albums & categories, and have to to re-upload thousands of pictures. So if anyone could help me out step by step, I would really appreciate it.

I already told you in the other thread you hijacked.

I didn't know where to find the manual you were talking about in the other thread, and you said to make my own thread if I had issues which I have done with this thread. BTW I created that thread, so how can I have possibly hijacked my own thread?

The manual ships with your copy of coppermine. It's available online as well. Link at the top of this page. Labelled "Documentation".

Read carefully what I posted. I said

This is plain English and means: I already told you so. I told you so in the other thread. The thread you hijacked. I didn't say that you hijacked this very thread.
It's not wise imo to argue after having made a mistake. Just swallow the moderator's "tap on the fingers" and go on.

Ok well I i followed step by step your thread at http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,51927.0.html  and I do not know why but the malicous malware from cdpuvbhfzz.com .. I replaced all my files with clean files and deleted the necessary files as well as took out the coding in other files. I upgraded the software.. but nothing has changed.

Then you haven't done as suggested. You haven't properly sanitized your entire site. Re-read the sanitization thread.
