Recieved this error trying to install G2:

Warning: main(steps/ArrayStep.class): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/squiddn/public_html/gallery2/install/index.php on line 70

Warning: main(steps/ArrayStep.class): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/squiddn/public_html/gallery2/install/index.php on line 70

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'steps/ArrayStep.class' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/squiddn/public_html/gallery2/install/index.php on line 70

I literally have the WORST webhost ever conceived. They change stuff on my server at random and it has like a 80% downtime. But I need a gallery online and Gallery1 doesn't work now either so I figured I'd see if I could get G2 working.

seems as if you couldn't upload the G2 files successfully.
1. don't use winzip to dearchive G2
2. reupload G2 to your server

Note: G2 consists of thousands of files and uploading so many files via ftp isn't very reliable. Most webhosts offer a webinterface in their admin/config panel to upload/download/move files and folders to your webserver. try uploading G2.tar.gz (still compressed) via such a web file browser. chances are good that this web file browser has the ability to unarchive G2.tar.gz on the server.

that is exactly how I did upload it. I used cPanel to upload the tar.gz of the latest screenshot, and used the cPanel file manager's extraction option to extract the file on server. I get similair errors when installing G1 too.

I should also mention that that file is on the server.

try clearing cookies in your browser and restarting the installer. and maybe reupload install/index.php
There is no "ArrayStep".. somehow $stepName is an Array in your session when it should be a step name.

Edit: it's not cookies, as I got the same error going to your site just now.. it's either a corrupt index.php or something seriously wrong with your php.
maybe try clearing or disabling your mmcache and see if that makes a difference?

Knowing my website host, I can almost guarantee it's something wrong with the PHP. MySQL is also messed up.

What should I tell them to fix?
