I have restored my gallery to a new folder name, as I need to use the old folder name for different assets. I renamed the gallery root folder, then updated the gallery, and everything seems to work OK except the "I forgot my password" function (sends the user to the old folder name).

The old folder name is still in the db, so I'm wondering if the process is as simple as this...

1. Disable gallery.
2. Backup SQL files.
3. Open SQL files in a text editor, find/replace the folder names.
4. Restore database from the edited SQL files.
5. Update cpg.

Or is there something I'm missing? Are the URIs stored locally by cpg somewhere?

All you need to do is update the link in coppermine's config page. No db editing required.

Awesome. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, I should have seen this.
