Hello!

A friend of mine uploaded Gallery v1.4.1 to my site a few year's back and I love using it. I recently noticed my host provider, Dreamhost, has an easy install for Gallery v2.2.1 with automatic updates! I'd love to switch to that version. Is there a way to transfer my old albums to the new Gallery after i install it? (i haven't done anything yet) I was wondering if I could download the folders that held the info then upload them once the new Gallery was installed. I saw some post here referring to the same question but the answers looked pretty complicated. I don't code at all, except for rudimentary html and unix commands. As a complete novice to code... should I attempt the transfer of my albums or just keep my old version of Gallery?

thank you!
Lyla

1. install g2
2. import your g1 data into g2 with g2's migrate module
3. delete g1

see:
documentation -> installation -> migrate from g1.
