We check the filesystem permissions of your storage folder before we start the actual upgrade process. There are three common reasons that make this system check fail: • There is no versions.dat file in your storage folder. Fix: Create a versions.dat file in the storage folder. • [[Gallery:#How_can_I_fix_the_filesystem_permissions_of_the_Gallery_storage_folder.3F|How can I fix the filesystem permissions of the Gallery storage folder?]] • When installing Gallery, you maybe specified a relative instead of an absolute filesystem path for the storage directory. e.g. ‘data’, ‘./data’ or ‘../data/’ when you should actually have entered ‘/some/path/to/data/’ (Linux) or ‘c:\some\data’ (Windows). Since G2.1 we ensure that the path is stored as an absolute path, but if you are upgrading from an older versions you might have this issue. Fix: open config.php and change the data.gallery.base path to be an absolute path. Then run the system checks step again.
