Want to load up old images.

crowdgather · January 14th, 2009, 12:47 PM

So the installation completed. However, since this is a fresh installation, the old tables have been deleted and replaced with the new ones. The old pictures are still in the folder, however, they are not loading up on the website.

I do have a backup of the database with the old tables. I was wondering how I can go about loading up my pictures again as well as their respective categories without having to upload all of them again.

If there is a way to do this, please let me know.
Thanks!

I would suggest you reload old tables and instead of running install select upgrade and upgrade your old tables.

Thanks for the response Chuck. Here is the thing. I have a backup of the old database which was running the previous version of PhotoPost. How do I go about selecting those old tables and replacing the new tables on the current database?

Thanks so much for your help Chuck.

It was running an old Photopost vbGallery?

Photopost Pro and vbGallery are two separate products there is no upgrade between them.

Yes it was running PhotoPost vbGallery v2.4.2 before and I currently have PhotoPost vBGallery, v2.4.3 installed.

Then simply restore the old database and run the install script and select upgrade.
