i'm using version 1.3.2. i think its been hacked but if i download to a new version, will i lose the pics??? if so, where do i save the pics?? most are uploaded by urls and some uploaded onto the site.

i'm not a techy person so i'm pretty confused. thanks!

Are the pics still there after having been "hacked"? The upgrade process would not make you lose your pictures nor their associated info. Just make sure to follow the upgrade instructions in the docs folder, or the Documentation link above and you'll be fine.

i can't really tell. i forgot to post the link.

I can't tell either since the gallery is down... You would need to use an FTP client to check out your albums folder.

The error shows that important files are missing. The upgrade would replace those files.

While looking for those critical files, I got a 404, which is understandable, but the 404 page was on another domain. Is that expected?

[gretchi]

what domain did u go to?

[Tranz]

I got sent to: http://www.fanwired.com/404error.php

[gretchi]

what url did u use to get to that error?

[Tranz]

http://amazingwill.net/gallery/include/functions.inc.php for one

[gretchi]

well i went into my include folder on ftp and nothing is in there. i think the hacker took it away.

[gretchi]

ok i think my pics has been deleted too! my albums folder has been deleted

That's why keeping your apps (not only Coppermine) current is just as important as frequent backups. I'm sorry though that you had to learn this the hard way.

[gretchi]

luckily, my pics are still there. just trying to figure out which databases to delete cause i think i have 2 versions in there. i dont know

well i didn't know i had to do that, again, i'm not a programmer

[gretchi]

ok what is this about?

you don't need config.php anymore it's for older versions. 1.4.x use admin.php instead.
you need to upgrade your themes too.

[gretchi]

ooh that explains why.

yea i upgraded them and i hope i did them right.

[Joachim Müller]

Well, if you upgraded, then this is no longer a cpg1.3.x issue, so I'll lock this thread. In the future, respect the "one issue per thread" policy!
