I finally got moved to an apache 2.0 server and had the time to try and install again. Relying on tech support to complete the install after they had to fix a php file to authenticate g2.3, I was told to create a new database for gallery 2.3 after already configuring zencart 1.3.9 with its own database first. Now I can't point g2.3 to the admin folder because there are 2 db's - 1 for zc and one for g2.3

What is the simplest way to undo this and get them both configured in a common db? I hoped renaming the zc_install and admin folders back to original configuration would allow me to start over without having to delete and re-upload anything, but it won't let me past the warning page. Do I have to unistall zc completely and start over? If so what about g2.3 - is it ok to leave it as is and redo zc to its db?

Many Thanks for any advice!

they can share a common DB they both use a different table prefix
simply re-install G2 using your ZC DB and let g2 use its default table prefix g2_

unless you have alot of items in your G2 already, then just export your G2 DB and re-import it to the ZC DB and edit gallery2/config.php to reflect the change.
