session error.

ok, if you want the latest release version, go here [sourceforge.net] and grab the file named gallery-1.3.4-pl1.tar.gz.
if you want the latest CVS version, telnet/ssh into your server and type the following at the prompt:

Code: › cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery login

and then type:

Code: › cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery co gallery

this will create a gallery directory in whatever directory you are currently in. so, if your regular gallery directory is in <webroot>/modules/gallery , you would type those command while you were inside the <webroot>/modules/ directory. CVS will automatically patch/replace files as needed. you will more than likely have to re-run the gallery config wizard after you've done this.

Upgrading won't delete any of your photo's - however you will probably need to re-run the config script, so make sure you keep the same paths, etc.

To upgrade:

Upload the new files to your existing gallery directory (root/modules/gallery) - so overwriting the existing ones. If no shell access, set permissions on SETUP folder, config.php, etc via FTP, then go to your gallery via browser. Complete the setup script - once complete, set permissions (as normal install)

For safetys sake: first rename the exisitng gallery directory to something else (root/modules/oldgallery) - then do the same as above - so you end up with two directories, one OLDGALLERY, one GALLERY. So if it all goes wrong you can delete the new insatll and just rename the old one! Wink

I've made it seem very complicated Shocked

but all you are doing is uploading and overwriting exisitng files with new versions.

Your album files are in a different directory (unless you put them in root/modules/gallery/albums!!!!)

good luck! Very Happy
