Can you log into your SQL database and check if the information is still there? Usually you can use phpMyAdmin or something similar through you cPanel or admin area. If not, try installing SQL Buddy and see if you can login and determine if the database exists or if the information has been lost.
Allo sidtheduck, i logged into my SQL database and this is what i got, i take it that means the information is still there. when i go to my albums from my site it says "There are no collections yet.... Delboy...
MySQL Server: Localhost via UNIX socket Server version: 5.0.67-community Protocol version: 10 User: web227-plogger@localhost MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) Web server Apache/2 MySQL client version: 5.0.51a PHP extension: mysqli phpMyAdmin Version information: 3.1.2 Documentation Wiki Official Homepage [ChangeLog] [Subversion] [Lists]
Well ... not exactly. The information you provided means you can log into the SQL server on your host. However, on the left hand side there should be a list or pulldown selection of different SQL databases stored on that server. One of them should be the same name that you set up originally when you installed the script (maybe has the name "plogger" somewhere in it?). If you can't tell what the database name is, just click through the list and look for table names that have "plogger_" in them.
Once you are in the database, click on the plogger_albums or plogger_pictures link on the left hand site (the little spreadsheet / table icon, not the name itself) and let me know if there is any information in there (should have album names, etc.).
If the database still has the information in it, check your plog-config.php file and make sure the database and login information are correct for connecting to the MySQL server for your host. That may be the issue as well.
Allo Sidtheduck, Ive done what you said but i dont really know what im looking for cos im 61 and senile !!!!!..if i gave you my login details to MYSQL would that help.....Delboy...
