How to Move Gallery installation from One Server to Another?

Gallery is one of popular web based photo organizer, I was use this app for my Office Photo collection. I really love with this application, support mod rewrite, easy to customize and many more. After use it for a while I have some problem. I need move my server from Windows to Linux Server. So I follow this guide

Here’s a step by step guide:

  1. Backup your installation!
  2. Upgrade G2 on the old server to the same G2 version which you plan to install on the new server.
  3. Deactivate AND uninstall the url rewrite module if it is active because it will generate incorrect urls after your move.
  4. Backup G2 on your old host. Backup the database and the g2data folder.
  5. Copy the g2data folder and import the mysql database to your new host. You can skip copying the g2data/locks directory if you want.
  6. If you’re using MySQL and moving from a windows based server to a *nix (unix, linux, …) based server, you will have to change each database table name from lower case (e.g. g2_albumitem) to a case-sensitive name (in this example g2_AlbumItem). See script Image:CaseSensitiveTables.zip to automate this process a bit.
  7. Install the gallery2 code (extract gallery2.tar.gz/zip) on the new host. It should be the same G2 version as you last used on the old host (that’s why you did the upgrade in step 2.).
  8. Have your webhosting partner change the owner of the g2data dir recursively to the webserver user, unless php cgi + suexec is used. If you don’t understand this instruction, forward it directly to your webhosting partner. The webhost has to do this only once, I’m sure they will do it.
  9. Don’t copy the config.php from the old host to the new host unless you’re willing to hand edit it. It’s easier to just run the installer; browse to newhost/gallery/install/. Make sure you choose “reuse existing database tables” in the database step. Point the installer in the appropriate step to the g2data folder (which is now not empty). And finish the installer. If you choose to copy the config.php instead of running the installer you have to manually change:
    • the g2data path
    • galleryId (at the bottom of config.php)
    • db name/user if needed
  10. Go to G2 Site Admin and change all paths if needed. imagemagick, zip, netpbm, … all modules that depend on external programs have to be tested and reconfigured. Make also sure that the mail function of G2 works on the new host.

How to Installing Internet Explorer on Linux

After migration from Microsoft Windows to Ubuntu Linux, I have some problem, my problem is quite simple. For some web designer like me, Internet Explorer is must have application. Why? because in this internet world. Internet Explorer still the highest user and if we design some layout and didn’t check it in Internet Explorer, will be big problem if we released or give to our customer.

Then I decide to googling and find out the solutions about it. After googling for a while I found some solutions about it. We can use Wine HQ, or use Commercial version of CodeWeavers Product (Crossover) I think both of this application is good enough. And I will try the option one. Installing Internet Explorer with Wine HQ.

If you want to do it, just follow this instructions and you’ll have Internet Explorer installed in your machine.

Gusty Gibbon code name for Ubuntu 7.10

Good news for Ubuntu Lover like me ;) Next released of Ubuntu (7.10) the codename is Gutsy Gibbon. This name was introduced by MarkShuttleworth. Read the sample newsletter.

Folks, allow me to introduce the Gutsy Gibbon, who will be succeeding
the Feisty Fawn as the focus of our development love in a few short
weeks, for release in October 2007.

The Gibbon won the G-race to be our engineering mascot for this next
release, but it was a close run. We very much wanted to honour the
tremendous contributions of the GNU project to Free Software by awarding
the role to the Glossy Gnu. This prompted an intense internal debate
about trademarks, at which both the Fiery Fox and the Icy Weasel were
heard. In the end, however, the judge, jury and elocutionary (that would
be me) took a liking to the Gibbon’s extraordinary reach, and the Gibbon
won outright.

You can follow they schedule about the release date about Gusty Gibbon in this site. The final released will be available on 18 October 2007
