Re-installing Photopost (after removing it)

[wynode]

As per this thread, I removed Photopost after upgrading to vB 3.5.4

Now I'm thinking I want PP back so whould it be possible to re-insert the relevant PP tables (i still have a backup from before I upgraded to vb 3.5.4) and then run an upgrade of photopost? (I was running PP PHP 4.8.2)?

If you restore the backup and all the files yes you can do an upgrade after installing 5.31 our current version.

So is this correct:

1. Restore (previously removed) tables from the mySQL database
2. Upload the new PP 5.31 files to the server and run the upgrade script?

OR

A. Restore (previously removed) tables from the mySQL database
B. Restore the deleted PP files from before I upgraded to vB 3.5.4
C. Then....?

You can do the first one provided you restore the previous data directories and config files

Planning to do this tomorrow

Just to recap:

1. Restore previously removed PP tables (17 in total)

ppadmingroups
ppadmlog
ppcategories
ppcomments
ppecards
ppexif
ppfavorites
ppipcache
ppiponline
pplaston
ppnotify
ppphotos
ppsettings
ppsort
ppsortmemb
ppusergroups
ppusers

2. Restore the \data directory from the backups
3. Restore the \uploads directory from the backups
4. Edit the new config-inc.php (PP5.31) so it has the same data as the old config-inc.php file*
5. Upload all the files from the latest version (PP5.31) except for the install.php file
6. Run upgrade.php

*Am I correct in doing this? Reason being is that in the upgrade instructions for PP5.31 it says there are some new variables in the config-inc.php file

[Chuck S]

You can restore the old config file and you dont need to restore the uploads directory.

Ok thanks!

When going from PP5.0 to pp5.1 I got a few errors.

So I skipped that and went to 5.2 and completed the upgrade OK. Will this be a problem?

Here is a coyp of the error
