When trying to migrate my data from my gallery 1 to gallery 2, where do I find "enter Gallery v1 albums dir path (absolute filesystem path"??? Is that on my computer, or in my gallery 1 site?

a path is something like:
windows server
C:\wwwroot\mysite.com\gallery\albums
*nix server
/usr/local/www/vhosts/mysite.com/gallery/albums
whereas a url looks like:
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/albums
these are just examples and would hopefully give you a hint. yours may be completely different.
if unsure ask your server's administrator.

Thank you suprsidr, I'll ask my server for the exact path.

My server sent me the path, but it is coming up invalid. Does this path look like anything is missing from it?
The path for gallery under your account 'dreambabies' is '/websites/dreambabiesheri.com/docs/gallery'.

Here is the information they sent me. Which folder am I looking for?
The path to Gallery 1 albums directory can be given as '/usr/home/www/dreambabies/dreambabiesheri.com/docs/gallery/albums'. I can see that it is given correclty in the configuration file.
---------
[dreambabies@c1-2A ~/websites/dreambabiesheri.com/docs/gallery]$ grep albumDir config.php
$gallery->app->albumDir = "/usr/home/www/dreambabies/dreambabiesheri.com/docs/gallery/albums";
$gallery->app->albumDirURL = "http://www.dreambabiesheri.com/gallery/albums";
[dreambabies@c1-2A ~/websites/dreambabiesheri.com/docs/gallery]$

I keep getting that it's not the correct path. I'm about to give up migrating at this point LOL Now I can't sign into gallery 2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and still won't log in grrrr

http://www.dreambabiesheri.com/gallery/ = 403
http://www.dreambabiesheri.com/gallery/main.php tries to redirect to the installer which also generates a 403.
Do you have a working G2 install?
Also, once you get a working G2 install, have you followed these instructions:
FAQ: Can I update from G1 -> G2?
There are some very detailed migration instructions in there, I think it's a link to the more detailed instructions in that link I just provided.

Now see I think the problem is, I am trying to switch over my gallery 1 photos, to gallery 2 which is on a different host. Is that the problem?
Posts: 16504
Yes, that migration assumes they are on the same host.
Though I believe (I'm not 100% sure) that if you follow those steps for making sure your G1 install is up to date and it's integrity is intact, that if you just copy over your albums directory to the new host that you should be able to migrate from that. As I believe that the G1 to G2 importer reads the files inside that directory (and sub-directories) and doesn't rely on any sort of API or anything like that.
