Hi As of this morning, each time when trying to enter my gallery all I see is a message "Gallery 2.3 upgraded" (see attached picture). Even though my gallery is already 2.3 it is impossible to bypass this page and go do any album in my gallery. I am not sure if it is malware or a legitimate upgrade issue that require password etc. Can you try to enter my gallery at www.ruvyamir.co.il/gallery2 or look at the attached pic and let me know if I should go along and process the upgraded. If the upgraded is not a gallery legit item could anyone advice me how to get rid of it and be able to enter my gallery and see images again. Your prompt reply will be most appreciated Ruvy

There is a file called versions.dat in the root of your g2data directory. If gallery can no longer read from this file then it prompts to upgrade.
Check the filesystem permissions on your g2data directory:

Also, running the upgrader would do no harm.

Thank you supersidr
What I get when running the upgrader follows. I don't understand it. Nothing has changed in my gallery and yet I am stuck with this supposedly permission and change of logo thing when in reality my albums are with 755 permissions for years and change of logo over a year without a problem. For the heck of it I did change the Album permission to 777 (though I don't want to give write permissions to anyone but myself) but this has changed absolutely nothing. In the albums directory there are however files woth 755 and even 644 permission. Do I have to change all to 777? and what if this doesn't help either?
At the moment the upgrade is stuck, I can't access my gallery and have no idea what to do. I don't know even where to type the suggested chmod -R 777 command or chown -R webserverUser /hermes/web09c/b2880/pow.ruvy/albums however my web provider has a table to do it manually
Here is what I get in system check:

Like I said:

Obviously something has.
Maybe your host changed something, maybe you've reached a hosting limit, maybe you've been hacked.
try resetting your storage directory permissions as suggested.

I'm having this same problem and have changed permissions in my data directory. I run the upgrade and still get same error that the folder needs to be changed. So I look at the folder in file manager. It is changed the way Gallery wants it, only Gallery doesn't see it.
What next?
your pal,
Fred

you need to change permissions recursively
chmod -R 0777 /path/to/your/g2data
