Installation Instructions > Step 2 - Upload files (?)

Step 2 - Upload files says:

Upload the new PhotoPost vBGallery files to the directories listed below.

* root/forum/admincp - vbgallery_install.php, vba_gallery_admin.php, product-ppvbgallery.xml
* root/forum/includes - adminfunctions_gallery.php, functions_gallery.php, functions_gallery_imageedit.php, functions_gallery_store.php
* root/forum/includes/cron - gallery_ecard.php, gallery_search.php, gallery_subscriptions.php
* root/forum/includes/vbgallery - admin_index_main1.php, error_generic.php, mod_index_navigation.php, online_location_preprocess.php, online_location_process.php, online_location_unknown.php, template_groups.php, cache_templates.php, formhome_complete.php, member_complete.php, online_location_preprocess.php, style_fetch.php
* root/forums/includes/xml - cpnav_vbagallery.xml
* root/forum/modcp - vba_gallery.php
* root/gallery/ - Upload this folder and all of it's contents into your root directory.

Note: Be sure to upload the /gallery/images and /forum/cpstyles folders and their contents in Binary mode and the other files in ASCII mode.

Now you will need to chmod the /gallery/files folder to 777. Some servers may have problems if so use 755.

Are the first 6 bullets (*) for upgrades?

I am doing a new install and I am assuming that the directories listed above are vBGallery directories NOT vBulletin directories, right?

You have 2 main folders in the build.

/forums/
/gallery/

The content of the forums folder and its subfolders upload to your vBulletin directory.

The content of the gallery folder can be uploaded where you plan to host your gallery.

EX: /gallery/ or /forums/gallery/

I think I figured it out.

I think what threw me is that the installation instructions had two different directories:

* root/forums/includes/xml - cpnav_vbagallery.xml
* root/forum/modcp - vba_gallery.php

"forum" vs. "forums"...I wasn't sure if I was supposed to have/create another directory.

It might be less confusing, in the installation instructions, to say something like:

Rename the vBgallery 'forums' directory to the name of your vBulletin forum.

Then transfer the renamed vBgallery directory to root directory.

Does it make a difference whether I put the /gallery/ folder in my root or in my vBulletin directory?
