Gallery version: 2.3
Webserver: Apache 2
Database: MySQL 5.0.77

Suddenly one way the gallery I had installed stopped working and showed an upgrade screen. When I tried to finish the upgrade, I got this error:

Storage Directory Permissions
Failed
- Inaccessible or missing files (1)

Seems like my g2data folder is inaccessible.

I tried to do the chmod -R 777 on the folder, but apparently still get same error when trying to upgrade.

How can I stop the upgrading process and let it come back to version the was working earlier? I did not do anything to start the upgrading process.

is there a versions.dat in your g2data?
it should contain something like:

1.3.0
2.3

permissions on the file should be at least 644
