Hello,

I have gallery 2 installed and I want to upgrade it to an svn version.

I would like to know how I can upgrade it without destroy my data (database and albums) and keep my gallery configuration ?

thanks a lot for your help

is your g2data/ folder outside the gallery2 folder? if so, good.

just rename the gallery2 folder to gallery2_old.
then do a svn checkout.
finally copy config.php and .htaccess from gallery2_old to the new gallery2/ folder.
now you can delete the gallery2_old folder.

Hi

Any tips if my g2data/folder is inside the galler2 folder?

I just wanted to check with you in case there may be permissions issues etc?

Thanks in advance.

you'll have to move g2data out of the old gallery2 folder and into the new gallery2 folder. that's it.
note: when moving / renaming g2data, be sure that permissions are not changed!

Also note that if you move /g2data, you have to edit config.php to reflect this change on the following line:

$gallery->setConfig('data.gallery.base', '/gallery2/g2data/');
