I'm attempting to restore from a server crash.
I have the gallerydata directory and a backup of my mysql database, but I do not have the gallery 2.2.3 tar.gz file. The backup of my webserver "gallery" direcotry is from version 2.1 (which would be OK as no data is stored there).

If I use 2.2.6 or 2.3 it complains that the version isn't the same as the directory and offers to erase my database and data direcotry which is certainly not what I want.
I can't find 2.2.3 on sourceforge or on the gallery site. Where is it hidden please? :)

Help appreciated.

Here's what I'd do. First make sure you have backups.

Then edit the versions.dat file that's located in your g2data directory.

Make sure it looks like this:

1.2.0.5
2.2.3

Then try upgrading to 2.3

First make sure you have backups of everything.

I tried that, unfortunately it still generates an error as the version in the database doesn't match.
I just blew it all away, did a fresh install of 2.3 and imported my photo albums. Lost all the captions/etc. but I guess that is my just reward for failing to do a full and proper backup. ;)

oh, o.k.

Then it means that the version specified in the database was yet something different still than was was in versions.dat.
