Do you have access to a better graphics toolkit than GD?
Have you tried ImageMagick or netpbm?

That is very old, there have been many security and bug fixes since 2.2

Thank's for reply.
No, I can't change the graphic tool as my web hoster doesn't have Imagemagick.
He also only provide Gallery 2.2 and I didn't succeed to upgrade to 2.3.1 or 3...

/var/lib/php is out of your reach(unless you have root privileges on your server.
Ask your host if session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php/session)

Thank's,
I read and read again this FAQ's and I'm using pre installer but it doesn't download any file at all...
I'm trying now to download the tz file manually, to put it in the directory and to try again the pre installer as I can"t unzip directly in my web server.

I hope I'll keep my existing database...

extract on your local machine, and ftp the files to the server, overwriting the current 2.2 files.
7zip is a free zip tool that can handle just about any format.

Are you referring to old outdated files? No worries, they are harmless.

I suppose they are harmless but they keep space on the server.
is it still possible to delete them ?
Thank's for help and I really enjoy now the 2.3.1 version, although watermarks still doesn't work ;)

Well, its either a directory permissions issue where the watermark module is trying to write to g2data/plugins_data/modules/watermark and cannot
Or
Its your GD image toolkit failing.

Quote:

Yes, eventually. It's still in development and I'm unsure of the watermark capabilities of G3
Also you will still be stuck with GD as your image processing toolkit.

I would check your storage directory permissions first.

The module would create this directory.
Head to:
http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.SiteAdmin&g2_subView=watermark.WatermarkSiteAdmin
and upload your watermark image.
