Moving the Gallery to a New Server

[Mark Gunter]

In the posts I've searched, what I find mostly are posts by people who've moved and forgotten to change permissions to 777 for media, etc. . . . IOW, no helpful information on how best to move gallery. Any advice on how to make a painless move before I actually start will be appreciated.

SITUATION
I am giving the gallery to someone else, and it will have to migrate to his server. Version 1.7.0 gallery, modded and templated http://allservico.com/gallery

How best to install this?

1. Move all files from allservico.com/gallery to new directory . . .
2. Create new MySQL database with same name on new server and populate all fields with info from present db . . .

Are there any configuration files in 4Images that will need to be changed/tweak to make everything work?

I do not know much about MySQL - is there anyone out there who may have some advice on least painful way to set up db on new server, preserving info from present gallery?

Thanks for looking . . .

Regards,
Mark

1) move ALL files from one server to another, check the permissions
2) make a backup of your 4images database
3) update config.php on new server with the correct information
4) restore the database backup on new server

done.
