re-installing help/advice - laingalistair - 2014-03-22

Hi,

Right I give up on why only my gallery pages only showing white screen I've tried using git checkout to roll back the changes I've done back to before i started playing aroudn with the themes. Not even the default one wants to show.

As I have over 6000+ images with 70+ folders, I dont really want to start completelly from scratch.

I just want to check if what I'm about to do should work and hopefully restore it

My current installation Zenphoto 1.4.5.9 and installed in www/albums.

  1. Log into the Admin pages and backup the database.
  2. Install Zenphoto 1.4.5.9 again but this time in www/gallery
  3. move www/albums/albums to www/gallery/album.
  4. log into the new installation and restore from the backup

Would this work? When I do the new installation can I point it to the original database that was setup or do I need to create a new one and then once I have restored from backup I can drop that old database?
