How to move your Piwigo from one host to another one. ===== Move from Piwigo.com ===== * on your Piwigo.com account, page [Administration > My account > Manage > tab My data], ask to retrieve your data. They will be provided as a list of 500MB zip files. You can also request for an FTP access, if you contact Piwigo.com support for that. * extract content of the zip files. In the first zip file, you will get the SQL database dump + the "local" directory. All zip files, including the first one, will include the "upload" directory. * download the latest version of Piwigo (not the netInstall), extract files, transfer them on your hosting but do not start the installation. * modify file local/config/database.inc.php so that it matches your database credentials on your new hosting server. Please note that tables have no prefix on Piwigo.com, so change $prefixeTable = ''; * transfer directories "local" and "upload" on your new hosting server * import your database dump * you're good to go, an you may certainly have to install/activate a few plugins you were using on Piwigo.com, but your Piwigo will tell you.
