PhotoPlog automatically creates 777 permissions as needed, but when you moved servers and FTPed the PhotoPlog images directory and its contents, it is unlikely that you gave the directories their 777 permissions. On a *nix server, to set 777 permissions in one go via hell, cd to your PhotoPlog images directory, and then type the following:
Code:
Content visible to registered users only.
Note that the PhotoPlog images directory, and all sub-directories within that directory, are to have 777 permissions.

When you get a blank page, it almost always means that the server path set in the PhotoPlog config file is incorrect. Copy the following into a file named whatismypath.php and FTP it into your main forum directory, then call it from your browser, and it should tell you the server path:
Code:
Content visible to registered users only.
Note that you also need to update the PhotoPlog Link setting via the ACP.

By uninstalling PhotoPlog, you dropped all the PhotoPlog tables containing the gallery data, so you need to reinstate the PhotoPlog database tables using a backup. Hopefully you have a backup; otherwise the gallery is gone for good.
