:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 I have been attempting (for a couple days now) to safely move my gallery to a different server. However, I have been unsuccessful thus far. I have tried to follow the instructions at http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:FAQ#How_can_I_move_my_gallery_installation_from_one_server_to_another.3F as closely as possible but, unfortunately, it doesn't 100% apply to what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a master copy of my site as well as the database on the new server. I have been using that master copy to restore every failed attempt at moving the gallery. Keep in mind that the information below has happened over many different iterations of my move attempts as well as many different methods. Also, throughout all of my attempts, I have not once seen an error message prompted at me (It would be nice to have a more obvious way of enabling logging or debugging). If any more information is needed I am more than willing to try and provide it. Here's what I'm trying to do: Here's the methods I have tried: Here's what's been happening (in no particular order): Resources I've Tried: As a side note, the amount of time I have put into trying to move my gallery has way surpassed the amount of time it would have taken me to just create a whole new gallery from scratch and re-upload all my albums & photos |

> - Copy over the entire site and database and manually edit the config.php file sounds good. but you shouldn't forget to: suggested tools to debug once your site is moved and filesystem permissions have been set: -------------- |

Sounds good. I double and triple checked the permissions so I'm sure those are fine. I will try the disabling and uninstalling of the modules. Thanks, I'll be back if it doesn't work |

Follow these steps exactly and you won't go wrong: If it doesn't work, then something wasn't followed correctly |

provided you have your own dedicated server or at least similar permissions. And know how to use SSH, etc, yada yada yada. For those types of people they generally don't need those detailed instructions, they simply need to know: move your files done Those instructions have a lot of detail for the majority of people, not the minority who know "all the techie stuff" |

I have a VPS, comfortable with the command line etc etc etc but found my eyes glazing over when reading that rsync stuff. -- |
