Gallery Fixed

I fixed my gallery today after some help from a coworker and some troubleshooting. I’m going to list what I did here in case I need to do it again. But if you don’t care about details then just click on ‘My Gallery’ in the sidebar and enjoy.

  1. Created a Target MySQL Database and User on my BlueHost account.
  2. Reinstalled Gallery using the installtion utility in my existing Gallery Directory on the new server. It is important to note that I used the new user and databse name when reinstalling. Again at my BlueHost host.
  3. Check the permissions on the g2data directory and make sure to ‘chmod’ 775 and ‘chown’ recursively to a user that has rights to move the files.
  4. Tar them up.
  5. Using SCP copy the tarball to the BlueHost server.
  6. Un tar into the new g2data location
  7. Using MySQL Administrator Backed up the old Database from my previous host (K9)
  8. Went to BlueHost and made sure that MySQL connections were allowed from my current IP (Dynamic IP–need to check it all the time with Cable)
  9. Using MySQL Administrator, connected to the BlueHost MySQL instance and restored the DB to the new schema.
  10. Fire up the new gallery and login as admin
  11. Run all maintenance.

    Bingo!
