Gallery Nuked.
Posted on September 23rd, 2007 by Brian Corbino
In the process of upgrading to Gallery 2.2, I nuked my installation. How? Stupidity. I figured “hey, why not take this opportunity to migrate the database to MySQL 5″. Bad move. Something got horked in the database move, and most of the pretty went with it. And it was down hill from there. It was only about 50 pictures, so no harm, no foul -I’ll just re-import them and everything will be fine.
Long story short: I wiped it out, and started with a clean slate. I know it was the database move because doing the same thing to my mother’s gallery without changing the database yielded a perfect upgrade. Of course, since I haven’t shown her how to use it yet, she has no pictures in it.
Lesson – upgrade one thing at a time, kids.
