The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard). I can't run the configuration wizard. Get error below.
Gallery URL (optional but very useful): http://wist.org/gallery/setup/
Gallery version: Trying to upgrade to 1.5.10 from 1.4.2 (I believe)
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please): Just upgraded to 5
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:
Web browser/version (if applicable):

I started getting "Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in /home/wist002/public_html/gallery/classes/Album.php on line 604" when trying to view my gallery. After looking through the help files, I tried upgrading to 1.5.10 (before migrating to version 2), but now I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in /home/wist002/public_html/gallery/classes/gallery/UserDB.php on line 67

When I open UserDB.php line 67 says this:

$this = unserialize($tmp);

I saw another user had the same problem and the technician asked for this information:

Hi,

probably me :-)

Nevertheless, it seems your upgrade was not complete?
That file version looks like 1.4.2, but not the upgraded 1.5.10.

Should be: * $Id: UserDB.php 17801 2008-08-05 23:10:49Z JensT $

By George, you're right on both counts! :-)

I re-upgraded and had to find a build of netpbm to upload too. It started updating my albums but seemed to have a hard time. Wasn't sure if it just needed more time, then discovered I should set some netpbm permissions to be executable. Most of the albums still don't have thumbnails, but some do:

The ones that do have a weird square showing at the corners:

Not sure if I should go directly to the 2.0 upgrade or try to get everything processed in 1.5.10 first?

Hi,

glad you could solve it.

You can recreate all thumbnails.

What do you mean with "weir square showing"?

Go to latest Gallery 2 (not 2.0), no need to fix visual things in 1.5.x
