Default Getting Images back

Hi,
I little while ago my server was taken offline along with that my forum. I digged out a backup with the images from my garage (photoplog) and had the XML plugin. However I could get none of it to display.

So i started again, however really want to know if I can get my old images back. I have them, just cant get photoplog to show them, lol.

Thanks for the help in advance.

What do you mean that you started again? If you uninstalled PhotoPlog, and then reinstalled PhotoPlog, that would have dropped the PhotoPlog database tables, so there wouldn't be anything in the current tables to connect to the files in the images directory. If this is what happened, you'll need to restore a backup of the PhotoPlog tables.

Well I ended up uninstalling PhotoPlog, however I have a backup of the images, tables and XML. But when I tried last time I couldnt get them to work.

However I do have a test board running, I will try on there. If I have no joy may I ask yourself to take a look?

FTP the image files into the PhotoPlog images directory, keeping the same directory sturcture and making sure those directories have 777 permissions. Next import the backup of the PhotoPlog database tables using for example phpMyAdmin, and then install PhotoPlog, making sure the PhotoPlog settings are correct.

Ok this is giving me a headache, I tried to do exactly as above and for some reason it wouldnt work. I didnt get error messages just the same images as before which was odd as I set up the old forum and export the XML along with the tables.

Go to the Category Manager, and for each category, click the edit link and then click the save button, without changing anything unless you want, to rebuild datastore.

Fun and games eh!

New error: Sorry, PitBikeClub: Bad Type - File is of the Wrong MIME Type

I searched this error and found safe mode had to be off. Which my host claims it is. And the images directory under 'garage' has 777 permissions.

Morgan can you hed any light? =z
