Before you test importation, please make sure that your gallery2 works correctly. Please enable all of the modules and run the unit tests for everything. Report any failed tests first. Make sure that your gallery1 installation is up to date and that ALL of the albums have been upgraded to the same version. Make a backup, even if you don't think that you have to. Consider importing from the backup rather than your live gallery.

If you run into errors, please see if you can narrow them down to one particular album. If they are timeout errors, you could try adding a few albums at a time.

Here is the information that I would like to know about your setup to help troubleshoot. I don't need urls, but they can be helpful. I do want to know how many images and albums you have in your gallery.

Gallery1 URL: (optional)
Gallery1 version:
Total number of Gallery1 albums:
Total number of Gallery1 images:
Gallery1 embedded in: (nuke/postnuke/phpnuke/xoops/whatever)
Gallery1 character set: (for international character support)
Native language: (for international character support)
Your hometown/country: (just for fun)

Gallery2 URL: (optional)
Gallery2 version/build date:
Apache version:
PHP version:
Server Operating system:
Web browser/version:

I think that's everything. Thanks again!
