Um I hit the reset to default button hoping to reset all the display type options to default (using 1.4.15 ish) and now i cannot login.
I get Critical error
There was an error while processing a database query
So i called go daddy and they cannot restore the database unles i pay big bucks to get it from their server backups.
Am i screwed? Why did this happen?
You probably had a plugin installed that needs a config setting you just wiped out. Follow http://coppermine-gallery.net/tutorial/debug_mode.php and we can see what the problem is.
1.4.18 is the current version - update once this is fixed.
I followed the tutorial as far as the myphpadmin which i started but it shows that i have NO databases ??? So i cannot continue :o
Ask godaddy then. They are notorious for maintaining their silly, hacked, pre-made flavor of coppermine, which doesn't get supported by us. The only supported install method is the one we describe in our docs - pre-installed crap like the godaddy-crippleware goes unsupported. Search this board for "Godady" to find out why godaddy sucks.
OK WOW >:( Damn it i just signed up with another 2 years hosting with godaddy :-[
