Ok for the simpletons like me here is what I did to move my Piwigo site from one server to another
1. created new site on the new server in the /var/www/sitename and performed a sudo chmod 777
sitename
2. using phpmyadmin I exported old website sql database to local workstation
3. using phpmyadmin I created a new DB on the new location
4. copied the complete website from old location to the new (not sure if the whole site needed to be
moved, but I did.)
5. then import the old database into the new location
6. I did have to modify the database.inc.php located here /var/www/sitename/local/config/
and change this information
<?php
$conf['dblayer'] = 'mysqli';
$conf['db_base'] = 'yoursitename';
$conf['db_user'] = 'username for mysql';
$conf['db_password'] = 'Pswd that goes with username';
$conf['db_host'] = 'localhost';
6. I restarted the server and Bingo I was up and going
thanks for the help here
