Coppermine taking over ?!?

[toontastic]

Hi,

My site currently has Coppermine installed, it's not working at the minute but that's not why I'm here. Basically coppermine seems to be taking over. I have recently upgrade my sites version of wordpress. Since upgrading the content all seems to be there and the site seems to be working however if i try and go to the admin page or edit a post on wordpress I get the error:

"Coppermine Photo Gallery - Your Online Photo Gallery
Coppermine Photo Gallery seems not to be installed correctly, or you're running coppermine for the first time. You'll be redirected to the installer. If your browser doesn't support redirect, click here."

It then redirects to the wordpress install page which says Wordpress is installed fine.

Wordpress was working fine with the old version though I seem to get coppermine errors alot when I try to install new scripts. Any ideas ? Is there a way to totally remove Coppermine and see if that helps my errors or is there a work around so I can install other scripts whilst using Coppermine ?

Thanks in advance.

Coppermine doesn't 'take over' anything. It sounds like you installed Coppermine and Wordpress into the same directory. Is this the case? A link would help.

Wasn't sure if I was aloud links. Wordpress is installed a root, coppermine is installed in /gallery. You can see the error I get at http://www.newcastle-online.com/wp-admin

Thanks.

I can't find your gallery. Delete Coppermine's install.php.

Yeah that was the problem we were having with Coppermine, even though it looked like it was installed correctly nothing showed up and it looked like nothing was there. I've had a quick look in it's folder and it doesn't look like Coppermine has an install file so looks like I already deleted it. I deleted the Wordpress install file though, now when I get the coppermine error in WP it just ends up forwarding to a 404 error as the WP install file is not there.

Have you tried this link to get into your Wordpress Admin?

Check to see if there is an index file located in the wp-admin directory.  By default, it might be accessing that...

That link is the furthest I've got so far so thanks for that. Unfortunatly when I enter my details i just get a white screen. There is an index file in the wp-admin directory it says:

<?php
require_once('admin.php');

function index_js() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
Event.observe( window, 'load', dashboard_init, false );

   var update1 = new Ajax.Updater( 'incominglinks', 'index-extra.php?jax=incominglinks' );
   var update2 = new Ajax.Updater( 'devnews', 'index-extra.php?jax=devnews' );
   var update3 = new Ajax.Updater( 'planetnews', 'index-extra.php?jax=planetnews'   );
}
</script>
<?php
}

No, that's a wordpress file. Looks like you have confused folders when uploading. I suggest this:

• Backup everything you have right now, so you can at least go back to what you currently have in case you make a mistake in the next few steps.
• Download a fresh copy of the coppermine package and unzip it.
• Download a fresh copy of wordpress and unzip it.
• Upload the coppermine core files from the fresh package download into your coppermine folder on the server.
• Upload all Wordpress files from the fresh package that you downloaded and unzipped previously.

Sorry i know, I just thought I should post it in case it was linking to Coppermine somewhere. That however was the only index file in the folder /wp-admin directory/

I'll try as you've suggested and I'll let you know what happens. Actually I've just thought of a problem. Like I said we had not been using Coppermine because it was not showing, the version we were using is probably ancient which will cause problems won't it ?

Finally it's working properly again. I tried uploading everything again and that didn't work so I changed the folder name of the coppermine gallery and that seemed to fix Wordpress. Coppermine still doesn't work but it's solved one of my problems and I can just do a clean install of coppermine and that should work. Thanks everyone.
