Done! You can now remove this file and check out your new Admin Options layout!

Okay well all that means is you ran the upgrade already.

Link to your install?

Well this is what I dot the first time when upgrading from 4.7 to 4.8 i never ran that upgrade before and that is what I got. Also at the bottom of the page where is says its powered by photo post it still say 4.5.1

okay and you did not answer my question. Mysql does not lie. You had to run the upgrade script before.

You did not provide a link to your install.

An upgrade is pretty simple. You upload all the new files EXCEPT THE CONFIG FILE and any modified stylesheet,header or footer and then run the upgrade scripts.

If your files still say 4.5.1 then did you upload all the new files?

I uploaded all the files. I didnt overwrite any of the folders jsut the files in the main directory. it says it upgrades fin from 4.5 up to 4.6 then fromt 4.6.7 i get some errors sating its a duplicate directore then from 4.6.7 to 4.7 i get what I posted up top. and I cant even move on to the 4.7 to 4.8 it sasy its done and updated but it still shows that i have 4.5.1 that was the first time. Now i restored everything to the origanl and tried again and did all the upgradeds with the same errors and now I get this when i go to my page

You have not followed the upgrade instructions in the upgrade folder.

You need to upload ALL FILES except your config file, any modified stylesheet if you modified one and of course the header.htm footer.htm

So in essense do this

Unzip the files to your computer.

Delete the following files

install.php
config-inc.php
header.htm
footer.htm
/stylesheets/default.css --SINCE YOU MODIFIED THIS ONE


UPLOAD EVERYTHING ELSE OVER YOUR CURRENT INSTALL ON THE WEB.

What about the Data folder that contains all my pictures for our gallery? Should I keep that current one on my server?

Yes keep it

I said overwrite. I said nothing about deleting anything on the server. You do not want to delete anything on your server.You can upload the uploads and data folders from the distribution to your install as it wont harm whats already there

The point here is to make sure your uploading all the 4.8.2 files as you have no done that and this is the issue at hand

also do I have to redo the upgrade process?

okay it worked. Thanks for your help upgreading. But now I am getitng two issues one with the thumb nails when there rebuilt all the thumbnails look faded or back and white there are all just ruined. Also i am trying to close the gallery so that I can do matinace and I am getting a error stating this

Warning: fopen(config-inc.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/gallery/adm-editcfg.php on line 26

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/gallery/adm-editcfg.php on line 27

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/gallery/adm-editcfg.php on line 28

I looked at the scripts and it is not in safe mode but it is not alowing me to close the gallery

okay I know this is in the wrong posting area so i will post in the error section

chmod the files per the installation instructions. that file needs to be 666
