I followed your steps on the local copy of the site on my hard drive and it worked. Since this worked, I did the same steps on the hosted site, and it didn't fix the issue. I guess the two version were not exactly the same.

So I FTP transferred the files from my localhost to my hosted site, updated the configuration.php, created a new database with the same name as the localhost, exported the localhost database and imported to the new database on the hosted site. SimGallery seems to be working correctly. Thanks for your help!

When you talk about a clean install, would we lose all our history? We are trying not to lose albums and photos tied to a user. I added the 'Hits' column to each table and that cleared up the error, but now the thumbnails for the albums and photos don't show up. When I click on a photo name, nothing happens. show less

Based on my backup copy, the file simgallery.xml says 4.1.1 (Joomla 2.5.28) show less
