I haven't tried to work with my Gallery (http://www.linkmeister.com/gallery) for quite a while, since I've been using Flickr. But I've upgraded to a new host with a huge amount of space for very little additional cost, so I thought I'd upgrade to v1.5.10 from the Gallery I've got, which is v1.4.4-pl6. I'm using Vista and Firefox.

After scrambling around I found my login info and successfully signed in, but when I click on the config wizard link I get the following:

Quote:
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required './php_value_ok.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

Um, if I can't get into the config, it looks like I'm pretty much dead in the water. Does anyone know what's going on here and how I can correct it? I can't even give all the required info demanded below without access to the config wizard.

Hello,

so you copied your 1.4.4 Gallery to your new hoster?

Yes, and it displays fine, as always. I haven't tried to upload anything to it recently; I suppose that would have been another good test. I think, though I wouldn't swear to it, that I was having the same difficulty before I changed hosts.

Oh, I got into my host site via cPanel: it uses Apache version 2.0.63 and PHP version 5.2.6.

Added a little later: I just tried to add a photo and got these errors:

Would I maybe be better off just deleting the entire Gallery directory from my host (I've backed up the photos to my hard drive) and re-installing? And if so, should I install v1.5.10 or v2.3?

Gallery 1.4.x does not work with PHP 5.

So you need to upgrade first. Its up to you to which version.

Thanks. Given that I only have 29 photos altogether in the current Gallery, and that I have them backed up, is it worthwhile to hassle with an upgrade or would it be simpler if I just removed the Gallery directory from my host's server and installed Gallery 2.X or higher? I know it's my choice, but (grin) it's your software.

29 Photos? ;-)

Start from scratch with Gallery 2.3

Hooray for straightforward answers! Thanks, I'll do that. I delete the directory from the server and then make a new empty one, run the pre-installer to install v2.3 into it via FTP, and go from there reloading my photos, right?

I am nearly a pure G1 guy.
