    Hi there I am trying to transfer a web sit with a plogger gallery to a new server but I get database errors - I have simply ftp'd the files across as where on my other server - the new server does have a public_html folder into which files should go - the old server didnt.

    I am clueless about database things - what do I need to do o the new serverto get this working as I am just getting db errors.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Definitely not a trivial task, but you need to move your database to the new server as well. You need to go into the control panel for your website and find a SQL manager, like PHPMyAdmin, and do a SQL Dump (Export). Make sure the export contains the data entries as well as the table structures (probably an option that says include INSERTS or something). Once you have the SQL dumped into a text file, you will need to go to your new website's control panel, create a new database with the same name as your old one, same user account, and same access password, and import the SQL dump.

    like I said, this is pretty complicated... If you don't have a lot of pictures/captions in your gallery, you may just want to reinstall and rebuild on the new server.
