For new installations:
======================

MySQL:
mysqladmin -uroot create gallery2 
mysql gallery2 -uroot -e"GRANT ALL ON gallery2.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'" 

PostgreSQL:
createdb gallery2


For upgrades:
=============

Until G2 hits beta, you may have to discard your current G2 data any time you
upgrade. The proper way to upgrade is to get the latest code and overwrite
your existing copy with it. If you see weird errors, then it?s time to delete
your database. 

MySQL:
mysqladmin -uroot drop gallery2

PostgreSQL:
dropdb gallery2


Then point your browser to http://yourhost/gallery and follow the instructions.


When not to use Gallery2 Alpha:
===============================
Do not use it as the main repository for your data. Do not use it for a
production web site. We will probably not provide an easy upgrade path to the
next release until we reach beta. We know that it?s much better than G1, and
it may be tempting to just replace your G1 with it. But be warned that we know
that the database schema will change between now and beta and we won?t support
upgrading your G2 Alpha data so if you use it in production, you?re on your
own. 


WARNING:
========
G2 has not yet been subjected to a rigorous security audit! While we have
taken great pains to make sure that it is secure, there is still the chance
that there are some big security holes in it that might cause you trouble. If
you find a security flaw, please contact us at [e-mail] right away!
