UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming MySQL and Server Configuration Photopost Pro - Data Folder - MySQL command for backing up

Hi, Heres my problem - I just install a fresh upgraded Photopost Pro to my site and everything works great. I still have my old data folder from my older version of photopostPro in the server that has over 5000 pictures on it. Now the problem is how do reinstall the pictures without uploading all the pictures again ? Do I run some kind of query to MySQL to let it know that it is there or run some kind of command for Photopost can rebuild it ?
Thanks !

First, makesure you make a backup copy of your mysql files and data folder. Then point your current install to that folder, run some of the 'scan database' commands and you should be in business.

Hi Allen, thanks for replying to my post. I tried backing up my Photopost but I get this -

Etc, etc,
Everything is set right - /usr/bin/mysqldump and it should work. When I did my Vbulletin back up it work fine and am using the same setting for the backups so, the photopost backups should work. Someone told me that I do a query on it to let my database know that it is there, but I dont know what query command to run. Do you know what command I need to do this ?
Thanks in advance !

You might check your permissions on your folders, if that's not the issue you might check at photopost - omegatron (chuck) is usually pretty quick with support.
