I'm upgrading to 2.2 using the automatic facility in fantastico. I get to the system checks part of the 2.2 upgrader and then get this message:
Error: Some files and or directories in your storage directory are not writeable by the webserver user. Run chown -R webserverUser /home/lamastr4/public_html/gallery/g2data/ OR run chmod -R 777 /home/lamastr4/public_html/gallery/g2data/.
I use cpanel and all main folders in /g2data are 777, but in the g2data folder, the old folders where original images are stored are still 755 and I get a [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]when trying to change permissions on these folders, so can't proceed.
Can anyone advise me what I can do please.
I'm a novice at all this, so please excuse my ignorance.

it could also be a missing versions.dat file.
