I'm upgrading my website and the instructions for upgrade state:
Quote:
Move the var folder from your old folder to the new one. Permissions and ownership on this directory must be maintained.
I can't seem to find that folder, was this not part of Ver 1?

G1 -> G3 is not a upgrade.
First you need to install G3 and then migrate the G1 data with the G1 import module.

Thanks Dave
I looked in G3 folders and found folder named "g2 import" will this work?
Or maybe the G1 import shows up after installation?
Another question, should I use G1's database or create a new one?

G1 does not use a DB. It uses Serialized php .dat files.
You will need to create a G3 DB or if you have an exsisting DB you can use a table prefix on that DB.
@import G1 -> G3: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:g1_import

Thanks again Dave
That worked well, well almost
It created all the albums but left some empty, it didn't import all the images.
Also, is there a way to import themes as well, I'd like to use my old one.

G1 themes are not compatable between versions.
I have never used the G1 import module so can only offer the suggestion of looking in the gallery3/var/logs for additional clues.

Unfortunately the logs don't show any problems.
