Hi, I'd like to move my Gallery2 data on one server to Gallery3 on another. I am moving my website as my hardware needs to be refreshed. Can I use the Gallery 2 import module to accomplish this? So far moving Gallery 2 from one server to the other has proven difficult. My database data does not properly import. Thanks, |

you need a working G2 to import to G3
Export via phpMyAdmin in plain sql format but first I would truncate g2_CacheMap, g2_EventLogMap, g2_ImageBlockCacheMap and g2_SessionMap as they can grow quite large.
Then import on the new server using the same tool.

Hi,
The G2 database when it was initially configured was installed with another database. So I have tables in one database from two applications. Mambo being the other. Can I just export those tables from the database and the import work? I tried it a couple times and it doesn't seem to work. I'll truncate those tables suggested and see if that helps.
So in order to migrate from G2 to G3 they need to be on the same server?
Thanks,
Georgi
