Hi!

I use v23, this is my gallery link: http://lnx.xradicaldreamers.net/azuland/main.php

My current host (aruba.it) had assigned me a really old MySQL version (4.0.30.), so I requested an updated version to install some other things like WordPress. So I got this newer version MySQL database for 1 free year, w00t.

Anyway, since it's a new version, it's empty. So I did what I had to do: went to backup the MySQL database as the wiki says, checking all the appropriate boxes. Then went to the new MySQL database and restored the old database in the new one. All that's done.

I only don't know what to do next. How do I recalibrate Gallery to read the new MySQL database and stop reading the old one? You know, make it recognize the new host, login, pass, database name, etc.

That was obviously v 2.3, sorry. Edit buttons.

Edit your config.php file under your gallery's directory.
