Hi,

I had to change hosts, and as I was kicked out from my last hosting provider for having too many files, I decided to change my separate installations to a multisite installation.

I set up my first gallery from my backup, it worked, and than I upgraded from 2.2.4 to 2.3.

When I now wanted to install the next gallery, as a component of the multisite installation, I ran into a problem. I went through the install procedure to a point, which said that I am using an older version, so I need the upgrader. When I started the upgrader in the third step it complains about the wrong permission of a folder containing the previously installed and upgraded gallery.

How should I proceed?

Install the gallery separately, upgrade it, and than reinstall it as a multite? Or is there a simpler procedure?

Gallery version (not just "2"):
PHP version (e.g. 5.1.6):
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ):
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33):

These are nics recommendations, but my host (bluehost.com,. avoid them as much as you can) inactivated my account, so I can not upgrade nor can I unistall modules.

Yep, "unlimited" does not really mean "unlimited" ;) Though I've heard reports from people having huge numbers of files on Dreamhost.

But I included that info in case it helps at all. If you run into any problems following those steps just ask.

I think what I would try doing is getting the standalone versions running, either on your new site or a local computer (running the same operating system, so Linux if using Linux on the server), then changing to a multisite. Granted I've never gone from standalone to multisite (or even installed a multisite for actual use) so I'm just going by the cursory glance I had at those instructions.
