I signed up with TCH a few days ago and I'm in the process of moving stuff over from my current host. One question I have regards my Gallery 2 gallery: where do I put the "g2data" folder.<br /><br />From my "welcome to TCH" email, it says:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Files for public access (your website) must be uploaded to the public_html directory. Files and <br />directories outside the public_html directory are not accessible to the public.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />However, on my current host, my "g2data" folder sits outside the "www" directory (I don't remember why I set it up that way, must have been some recommendation from the Gallery install docs). Where should I be uploading that folder to?<!--content-->
I run a Gallery2 install and the g2data folder is at the same level as the public_html folder which is my root folder.<!--content-->

thanks bruce for the reply and thanks guys for the welcome(s).<br /><br />so i guess what you're saying is, is that I can leave it at the same level as public_html (i.e. not IN public_html) and it should function fine, right?<!--content-->
That is correct and then nobody can surf to it without going through your Gallery pages.<!--content-->
