I did a multi site install on my server, the imported a bunch of stuff from gallery1 and have since changed permissions and done lots of other stuff. Now I want this gallery to move to a different folder on the file system, which would make it a different url, move from: /home/username/public_html/www.exmapleA.com/gallery I'm guessing with all the settings pointing to files on the file system with fully defined paths, and all the stuff in the database this might not be possible just to move the files. Can I do another multisite to the other URL? and somehow import the albums with the captions and permissions I want? Thanks Jeff |

do you want to move the codebase or the multisite?
case a: moving codebase:
- mv the codebase folder
- in your multisite, change the include path in main.php, embed.php, ...
case b: moving the multisite
- mv the multisite folder
- update config.php to set new storage directory path if it was changed
etc. (follow the instructions about moving a g2 to another folder)

To add on to what valient said, since I just did this -- be sure to disable and uninstall the mod_rewrite module (if you are moving the multisite, not the code base). Then install and configure it again. It should now rewrite to the correct (new) path.

Editing the paths in the .htaccess was not sufficient?

the url rewrite must be diabled of course. that's part of the faq entry i linked.

Thanks for the FAQ link I shoud have checked that myself. IT is not a move of the codebase, just the multisite itself. Thanks!

Any ideas, I followed the directions on the FAQ to a tee.

btw I used cp not mv, just to test. I also checked the permissions on the folders and they do seem to be the same.

Ok solved that problem. Bad URL. Now I get this.

cp doesn't copy the permissions by default.
run chmod -R or chown -R such that the webserver user has write permissions again.
use the debug mode for further details..

ok I copied it with -R. Why did I get the above mentioned error?

cp doesn't copy the permissions (if you don't specify the correct cp parameter)

yeah after I copied it with just cp I deleted it then I went with cp -R but it still gives me that error

i said:
chmod -R , or chown -R ,
i didn't say: cp -R.
cp -R only copies a directory recursively with all its subdirectories and files.
see: http://www.hmug.org/man/1/cp.php "-p" preserves permissions (maybe it's different on other platforms).
moving this topic to the support forums.

sorry I see what you're saying now but I've confirmed that all the folders and files retained their permissions from the original. I created the originals with the same user as i made the copy with.

Do you use SELinux by any chance?
Posts: 26
nah it's debbian
Posts: 32509
SELinux isn't only a distribution, it's also used in other distributions. but i haven't heard of a debian with selinux yet.
Posts: 378
I just checked, there is a SELinux package for unstable Debian.
Can you check if it is enabled :
if it returns 0, then SELinux is enabled, if it return 255, then it's not.
