More Gallery 2 -> gallery 3

Installing Gallery 3 is no problem. Migrating Gallery 2 data to Gallery 3 is also not a problem (if you manage to enter the reference properlyas described in a previous post). The tricky part is to update 2->3 in the same path. This is how they suggest you do it:

Upgrading/importing summary

1. Backup your g2 (data folder and database)
2. Put g3 on your server, e.g. to a parallel folder to your g2.
3. Install g3
4. Enable the comments module and the g2 import module in g3
5. Configure g3’s g2 import module and run the import process.
6. Rename your g2 folder to something else (e.g. from “gallery” to “gallery_old”)
7. Rename your g3 folder to what the g2 folder used to be (e.g. “gallery3” to “gallery”)
8. Add the mod_rewrite rules from g3’s g2_import module page to your .htaccess file to ensure that the g2 urls continue to work
9. Delete your g2 folder (“gallery_old”), it’s no longer needed. you can delete your g2 database as well. (but keep your backups)
