Hi I just did the upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1. Because I use most of the Gallery2:Modules I downloaded the full version. With FileZilla I uploaded the files to my gallery2 directory. From the 8000+ files about 2200+ files failed the transfer with FileZilla (newest version 3.3.0.1), mostly .mo and .po files. I have no idea why they failed. I do understand that most of these files are not critical for the correct functioning of Gallery2 and the upgrade procedure completed without any problems. Moreover in the course of translating some modules I've learned that .mo-files are cached by the webserver and that it is necessary to restart the webserver to use the new .mo-files. This leads to the question: How do I activate the new language files of 2.3.1 assuming a successfull upload without the restart of the webserver??? The upgrade run smoothlessly without any problems. But I guess I do not have the newest language files in use by my gallery. Whatelse is not functioning is behind my knowledge. After this upgrade I have a really bad feeling about Gallery2. |

I don't see why you should have a bad feeling about G2 because your ftp program crashed while uploading files from your machine to your server.
I think your bad feeling should be directed to your ftp client.
I do agree though that it would be nice one could download the english version alone and then add the language pack one desires but that is not going to happen.
In any case, the language files are the same as v2.3.0 so if that is what you missed out, then you are fine.

Also my experience has been that there's no need to restart Apache to get new .mo files used; the new contents are used as soon as the .mo files are in the correct directories. Perhaps that depends on some caching setting in Apache, but I certainly haven't found it necessary.
