Hi, I'm preparing my G1>G2 migration. I had an old 1.5 version so I first upgraded to the latest 1.5 version to be sure. I did that on a copy of my /gallery folder called /gallery15. I planned to install G2 in a folder called /gallery2 and have all the /gallery15 albums imported. The reason is that I planned to keep the /gallery folder as the live version. Now my question: the Gallery2:migration doc says: "Install Gallery v2 into a new folder called gallery (e.g. extract and rename gallery2 to gallery)" Is this really needed and why? I wanted to go for the above mentioned scenario. For some reason I am not able to rename /gallery in gallery1 and embed this in my mambo. I cannot even access the ../install/ folder. Any help is appreciated. Best regards, Jeffrey |

g2's folder name can be anything. it doesn't have to be gallery or gallery2 or the like.
yes, you can install g2 at gallery2temp/ or gallery2/. then do the import, verify that everything's working, then change the foldername to gallery/ to finish your migration.
for detailed instructions, please refert to docs -> installation -> migrating from g1.
