Hi,

I previously had upgraded to 2.x version, don't remember the exact version. The only last backup I had for the albums was when I was moving from 1.4 to 2.0 RC_1 or something.

Due some sort of user error, I lost my /var/www folder. What would be the best way to migrate my old 1.4 based albums folder into a fresh 2.x version ? I have backup of my 1.4 gallery database. But my current database has 2.x based data.

Thanks,
LS

PS: Mods, if this does not belong in this category, could you please move it to the appropriate section.

see:
- http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_To_Restore_From_Backup
- http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:migration

if all you've left is a g2 mysql database and your old g1 data folder, then you need to install a new g2 and follow the g1 -> g2 migration instructions.
if you still have the g2 g2data/ folder, take a look at the "restore from backup" instructions linked above.
