i was trying to upgrade to 2.2.5. i didn't which folder to unpack the files. some files are extracted in gallery2 and some in gallery2/upgrade. in the process of updating the plugin list to install the upgrades, i've changed the permissions and i get the following error message.

Quote:

Go back to defaults and this should get you working, change the permissions for the directories to 755 and the files to 644.

If you have shell/telnet access you can try this for directories, first change directories to the main gallery directory:
find . -type d | xargs chmod 755

For files:
find . -type f | xargs chmod 644

If you don't have shell/telnet access then the next easiest way would be to use an FTP program.

Oh and if you didn't change those permissions and they change again, talk to your host.
