I have Gallery2.1 installed on a production server. Would like to upgrade to 2.2.5version. Whats the best way to do this?

Can I just COPY the installed files from the production server onto a test server and then test the upgrade there before actually doing the upgrade on the production server itself?

thanks

To do what you propose, you'd need to copy the database, g2data directory, etc.

To create a "test" environment you'll need to follow these instructions (only copy instead of move):

However, you should be safe to upgrade in place. Just backup EVERYTHING, database, g2data, gallery2 files, etc
