GET 1.5 RELEASE CANDIDATE 4 FROM HERE It contains updaters, too.

EE base install procedure:

1. Uncompress zip file (keeping folder structure) to your hard disk.
2. Open GALLERY/add/connect.php and edit your MySQL connection data there. In most servers servername should be 'localhost'.
3. Open GALLERY/input/backup/ee_backup_prefs/preferences.php and edit your MySQL connection data there. View GALLERY/input/backup/readme.txt for detailed help.
4. Use ftp to connect to your server and create a new folder where EE should be placed (under your www root of course, so that it can be accessed using browser). Upload all files to that folder. For now we call that install folder 'GALLERY'
5. Chmod 777 (full read/write/execute permissions) the following folders:
   
   GALLERY/temp
   GALLERY/export
   GALLERY/input/temp
   GALLERY/input/UPLOAD
   GALLERY/input/UPLOAD/test
   GALLERY/input/UPLOAD/ee_temp_upload
   GALLERY/input/backup/ee_backup_files
   
   
6. Run the installer by pointing your www browser to http://yourserver.com/GALLERY/install.php. If step 2 was done correctly, EE install should run without errors.
7. Rename GALLERY/input/ to something that only you know like GALLERY/maserati2/ or GALLERY/77hh88/. This folder is called 'input folder'. You may also add more protection to it and use server tools to protect that directory with username/password. NEVER GIVE THAT FOLDER ADDRESS TO ANYONE OR POST IT TO FORUMS. Access to input folder means access to your gallery and ftp, so do not give hackers a chance.
8. Delete install.php from server.
