My apologies if this has been discussed. I searched the forums but did not find this topic listed. If it has been, just send me the link.
I recently upgraded to Gallery 2.2. I went through the upgrade steps and after some database issues was able to complete the installation.
Upon completion there was a link that took me to my new gallery homepage which appeared to work fine. I closed the browser and as suggested removed the preinstall.php file. I then went to my gallery homepage (ecce-signum.info/gallery) and it still shows the upgrade page instead of the gallery home page.
I then went to the gallery/lib/support/index.php and cleared the cache which did not work either.

Did I forget to remove something in my gallery directory?

I am running maxthon (IE6 clone) and firefox with the same results.
Newbie to php and sql but relatively comfortable in the linux enviroment.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Eric

Well, after messing around on and off I think I came up with a solution.
I tried to "reinstall" the application so I could find the original URL I previously mentioned but I began getting permission errors on the g2data folder. After reading the forums I decided to go back to gallery/lib/support/index.php and change the permissions on the folder, deleted the database and started over. The URL was pointing to gallery/gallery2/main.php which appeared to work fine. For some reason the URL that was not working was softlinking to a php script in the update folder. I deleted that file, changed the link to the new URL and it appeared to work fine.
Sorry for all the questions, your forum is a great source of information.
Hopefully my experience will help somebody else. Otherwise, it makes for a good laugh :)
