 * Hi,
 * Today I upgraded Nextgen gallery plugin to 2.0. After that I can add new galleries,
   but I can’t upload images to them. In the batch upload windows I just get a yellow
   triangle with an exclamation mark saying HTTP Error when trying to upload images.
 * When I check the folder permissions on the filesystem, I can see that it is has
   created a separate folder for each photo I tried to upload (!), but every one
   of the folders is empty.
 * Folder permissions seem to be ok, because when I downgrade to the previous version
   of Nextgen gallery, everything is working just fine (resizing, thumbails, uploading
   etc).
 * I am using a Windows server with IIS and the latest php version. Also I have 
   disabled all other plugins and tried. I appreciate any help I can get.
 * Regards,
    VJ

 * I have exactly the same problem.
    Did any of you find out some more?
 * Is it possible to downgrade to the previous version? I can’t find the install
   of it anymore 🙁

 * Finally I gave up on Windows as webserver, so in the meantime I have setup a 
   clean WP setup on Ubuntu server, with the latest NextGen plugin. So now the http
   error and not being able to upload the photo’s are gone.
 * But, there is another problem. My site is slow as hell. I have just NextGen gallery
   plugin installed, so no conflicts there. I have like 20 galleries, with couple
   hundred pictures. Now to test, I reverted back to NextGen gallery plugin 1.9.13.
   Then I got a very fast and responsive website. Everything runs fine. So conclusion:
   stay away from NextGen gallery 2.x?

 * Good to hear your experiences Anduril! Do you have some info on how to downgrade
   to 1.9.13? I can’t find the install for this anymore.
 * Edit: Nevermind, just found them in this topic: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-errors-after-upgrade-from-1913-to-20?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-errors-after-upgrade-from-1913-to-20?replies=12)

 * Had the same HTTP error on uploading images.
 * Fixed it by doing the following:
    Created the wp-content/gallery directory (fresh
   install) Set the access rights on the gallery directory via FTP.

 * Joosd pointed me in the right direction though there was no problem with the 
   access rights. Here’s what worked for me:
 * Create new empty gallery with NextGen plugin
    Use FTP client to upload to the
   new gallery found under wp-content/gallery Back in the WordPress Dashboard, go
   to “Manage Galleries”, choose the gallery in question and hit the button “Scan
   Folder for new images”
 * I’m sure there is a more elegant solution, so that the FTP client is unnecessary,
   but this works.
