Things seemed to be going quite well. I upgraded fine, and then tried to migrate my albums, only one to start with, and things started going horribly wrong! It stalled, I went and made some lunch etc etc, came back and it had timed out, so I tried to access my gallery again...

Now for some reason my gallery has gone back to config mode, and is telling me my g2data dir is unaccessable:

Quote:
Error: Some files and or directories in your storage directory are not writeable by the webserver user. Run chown -R webserverUser /export/users/mbe/pages/g2data/ OR run chmod -R 777 /export/users/mbe/pages/g2data/.

Well it's there, and it's chmoded to 777. However I can't delete it, I get an error:

Quote:
Command 'cd "/var/autofs/newusers/mbe/Webdir/pages"'
failed with return code 0 and error message
rm: cannot remove `g2data/albums/Asia/Thailand/Thailand-Ayuthaya/Claire_in_stupa.jpg': Permission denied

and so on and so on and so on. So if I don't have permission to delete my own files...who on earth does? Any help very greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Matt

i assume your g2 is new, nothing to lose.

i'd reinstall g2 and make sure the filesystem permissions are ok afterwards.

if you need to delete g2data:
