Hello,
I want to do the following:
1. Install a brand new gallery to a designated sub domain. A fresh gallery
2. I want to grab all the photos, albums, categories, users, comments from my old gallery to the new one.
NOTE: remember both galleries are hosted in the same domain
Now here is the beauty: - Can someone help me with the detailed steps how to do that.
Best regards,
Indrit
Then don't perform a fresh install. Instead, create a database dump and copy all files from your existing gallery. Then save the files into the new location. Edit the database dump file and batch-replace the table prefixes to make sure that there will be no naming collission. Finally restore the database dump, which will create the needed tables.
I kind of thought of this but than the OLD gallery is an earlier version of copermine and has a few problems. I cannot be able to change anything in the Config admin panel. This is the reason I want to install a fresh latest version gallery and than just grab only the tables I need to grab from my existing one.

That is what you are doing by upgrading, you are only keeping the tables, the albums folder, the config.inc.php file and possibly a custom anycontent.php and theme. All of the rest of the files are replaced.
Hello,
I really and desperately need Help in here.
here is what I did.
1. I installed a new gallery in a new host
2. I backed up as a zip file the whole gallery form the old server.
3. I saved a copy of the database from the old server.
All I want to bring to the new gallery are:
1. Categories
2. Albums
3. Images
That is all
Can someone please please help. I am trying to read the recommendation and they look too confusing for me. I have over 2000 images in my old gallery and I cannot start all over
Best regards,

Copy your old albums folder and include/config.inc.php file into your new gallery directory overwriting the files it contains. If you had a custom theme or custom anycontent.php file, copy that too. Check permissions as per the docs.
Upload your old database. Check the details in include/config.inc.php are correct for your new host.
Run update.php
That should be it.
Excellent!
I did do all the steps and I think I saw good results. Now the gallery has been upgraded to the latest version. However when checking the version I thought it will be great to bring here a piece of what I saw: Please see attachment.
Do you think is there anything else I should do?
Best regards,
Indrit
If you do not have a custom anycontent.php then upload a fresh copy from the 1.4.19 download.
Doesn't matter, ask suggested in many threads on the upgrade board. Tagging this thread as "solved".
