I think I encountered this problem before with an alpha version of G2 that I was never able to solve. Anyway, I go through the installer fine, except that at the end, I get the upgrader and it wants to upgrade me from 0.8 to 0.9. It's unable to do so, and gives me the following errors:

Error (ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE)

    * in modules/core/classes/GalleryStorage/DatabaseStorage.class at line 1162 (gallerystatus::error)
    * in modules/core/classes/GalleryStorage.class at line 241 (mysqldatabasestorage::execute)
    * in modules/core/CoreModuleExtras.inc at line 330 (gallerystorage::execute)
    * in modules/core/module.inc at line 512 (coremoduleextras::upgrade)

    * in upgrade/steps/UpgradeCoreModuleStep.class at line 68 (coremodule::installorupgrade)
    * in upgrade/index.php at line 155 (upgradecoremodulestep::loadtemplatedata)

Please help!

if you see the upgrader right after the installer then something has already gone wrong. please try a current nightly snapshot and see if the system checks page gives you any warnings.

Edit: I checked your phpinfo and I see that the most recent installer will give you a warning and tell you what needs to be changed in your config.

Thanks for the suggestion for using the nightly build. I installed the 2005-04-03 one from http://www.fw2.net/files/gallery/.

I've also upgraded PHP to 5.0.3 (the latest my webhost provides) and increased the memory_limit to 16MB.

The installation was a success. Thanks!

How should I upgrade in the future? I don't have access to the "cvs" command on this host, so I'm not quite sure which files to replace/etc. when upgrading to a newer version of the nightly builds.

just extract an entire nightly build on top of your existing code whenever you wish to upgrade to the latest. then visit your gallery.. if a core upgrade is required it will bring up the upgrader.. otherwise visit Site Admin / modules and see if any modules need upgrading (or visit upgrade/index.php and run through the upgrader, which can upgrade modules even if no core upgrade is needed)
