	All of a sudden my gallery states I need to upgrade. I do the install from the web site but receive the following error Storage Directory Permissions Failed + Inaccessible or missing files (1) Error: Some files and or directories in your storage directory are not writeable by the webserver user. Run chown -R webserverUser /hermes/web09b/b2978/pow.lazboytt/htdocs/gallery2/g2data/ OR run chmod -R 777 /hermes/web09b/b2978/pow.lazboytt/htdocs/gallery2/g2data/. I tried to change the permission on the g2data folder but this does not solve the problem. Does it need all the files in the folder set to the same permission? If so does anyone know how to change them all to 777 as it would take a long time to do each file and folder individually. Please help

	I had the hosting provider double check the permissions as I reset them and this is their response Comment: Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience. I have reset the file permission. But the application is not responding and showing same error. So, Please contact the vendor of application to fix the error. If you have any further questions, please update the Support Console.
