I think I lost my gallery files

[fabianv]

Hi,

Im sitting with quite a massive problem. Regretabbly I have not made any database backups for my gallery and now that I've moved to a new server I was busy changing the PATH of what photoshop was pointing to for different settings. I tried uploading something but it seemed to not allow me since it was still pointing to the old PATH.

I then went down in the admin settings list to Scan Database and selected everything but the watermark setting.

When It scanned it said :

Checking photo #19: image /home/fabianv/public_html/gallery/data/505/file.jpg not found, removing from database... done.

for all the works in my gallery ... my mouth hanged open and I couldnt believe what happened since none of the works I can retrieve.

If there is some way to revert this please let me know.

For the most part.. I think its ridiculous that photopost automatically removes things.. it should have asked me if I wanted to!


And then on the main admin page it just says :


fabianv 198.54.202.226 August 24, 2006, 9:06 pm Ran a Scan DB

It should rather say... "Raped the gallery"



--------------EDIT----------------


OK.. all the art seems to be on the FTP.. but theyre not showing on the gallery page.. how do I fix this?

You would need to correct in the config files and admin => global options and storage options and set the correct paths but to get photos back you need to restore a mysql backup of your photos table.
