Admin Password
If you changed your password by clicking on the password link in the admin options.
Then you need to change it here also
Just enter the password you changed it to.
No need to enter your old password anywhere.
If you are having problems, then enter it manually by opening config.asp with your favorite editor and make the change...keeping the structure of the page intact.

Enter the name of your website.
For example if the name of your website is "ASPcodes"
Then you would enter:
ASPcodes
in the textbox.

Then you would enter:

The path to the EZGallery directory.
The path should be correct, if it is not, then enter the correct path
**NOTE: If you dont know the path to your root directory...ask your web hosting provider.**
**NOTE: If you are going to change the name of the ezgallery directory,
you need to change the info on the settings page of the Admin section
BEFORE you change the name of the actual directory on your server
See instructions below for changing/renaming directories
EZGallery Directory
Enter the directory that EZGallery is in.
For example if you renamed the ezgallery directory to "mygallery"
Then you would enter:
/mygallery/
Or if you put the ezgallery directory in another directory named "anotherdirectory"
Then you would enter:
/anotherdirectory/ezgallery/
Finally, If you renamed the ezgallery directory to "mygallery" AND put it in another directory named "anotherdirectory"
Then you would enter:
/anotherdirectory/mygallery/
In ALL cases the "/" MUST be infront and behind the directory(ies)
**NOTE: If you are going to change the name of the ezgallery directory,
you need to change the info on the settings page of the Admin section
BEFORE you change the name of the actual directory on your server
If you change/rename the ezgallery directory you need to make then changes in the Base Directory also (see above)

This is the path to the EZGallery database.
If you made any changes to the ezgallery directory as described above.
Then you would need to make the same changes here.
For example if you renamed the ezgallery directory to "mygallery" AND put it in another directory named "anotherdirectory"
Then you would enter:
/anotherdirectory/mygallery/datastores/gallery.mdb
****SERCURITY ALERT****
You should rename the database so that no one can hack into it and get your password!
