Installation, Update & Configuration / Re: "Could not select database" ?? Please help!

I don't really see where it says how to connect to the ACP when I can't access the gallery.

I haven't reinstalled 4images yet. Should I do that now?

I was afraid of that.

Ugh, I can't belive they did this to me! This is going to take up so much extra time that I don't have.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks, I'll try that and let you know the results. And if the new installation works out, then we try to see what went wrong with the original?

Would you believe it's still not working? I can't even find the install file, I must have deleted it when I installed it originally.

I didn't reinstall it when I made the new database - is that the problem? but if I reinstall it, will I lose all of my files and pictures?

I'm so frustrated right now! The tech support guy made it sound so easy - "The images will still be present, however. You will likely need to re-create the database for the image gallery."

So my config file is fine and I have all the right files?

What's my next step? Delete the file (what's the name of the file, btw?) ?

And I'm sorry for so many stupid questions, but

delete the PHP installation file of 4images from your server before running 4images

when you say "running 4images", I'm not quite sure what you mean. What do I have to load to make it work?

Again, sorry for so many questions!

I've imported the file, but I'm still getting the error message. Here's a screenshot of my phpMyAdmin page:



Are those all the files I need? Here's the end of my config file:

$db_servertype = "mysql";
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_name = "belbin2_4images";
$db_user = "belbin2_*****";
$db_password = "******";

$table_prefix = "4images_";

define("4IMAGES_ACTIVE", 1);

?>

Except, of course, my username and password are there instead of the asteriks.

I'm really at a loss here. Thanks for all your help so far.

I think I found the problem - there are no tables in my database. Is there any way I can get them without having to reinstall the whole thing?

Thanks.

And, sorry for my ignorance, but where? I looked in the FAQ section earlier and I found the question about the config.php file, and I went through it and did what it says...am I missing something?

Installation, Update & Configuration / "Could not select database" ?? Please help!

Up until a week or two ago, I had a gallery up on my website, belbin-agosto.net, with something like 1500 pictures. My site began recieving a lot of traffic, so my web host moved me to a worse server until the traffic subsided. When this happened, my MySQL database was lost.
They recently moved me back to the better server, but the database is still gone. However, all of my files are intact, 4images is still installed, all the images are still on the server, etc.

I would like to get it up and running again without losing any of the files or information - many of the photos are saved on my old hard drive which I no longer use (and am not quite sure where it is).

So I created a new database today with the same name as before, and made myself a user of the database with the same username and password as before. However, when I try to go to the gallery (belbin-agosto.net/4images) I get this error:

DB Error: Could not select database (belbin2_4images).

What can I do to fix this? As I said above, I would like to get the gallery back up and running without much hassle. I have gotten several emails from visitors to my site inquiring about the gallery, and I want to get it back up for them as soon as possible!

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
