Hi :) I'm running Gantry 4.0.4 on a J!2.5.7 site with the Kirigami template. It's just gone onto a live development server for testing and client approval (I have successfully upgraded other extensions since the move from WAMP to dev.server by editing CHMOD values pre and post install). I used the J! Extension update button and clicked the Gantry update... it complained that /plugins/system/installer/ couldn't be created, so I made 'system' writeable and tried again, it wrote the directory... i tried to run the script inside from the update UI 'install from directory'... it failed (no package).
The J! Extensions Update button in the control panel now reports that 'All extensions are up to date'... BUT...
... in the 'Template Manager' Kirigami reports that my Gantry version is unknown, 'Manage Extensions' shows 4.0.4 is installed, and the front-end of the site is still working fine (whew). Additionally, a 4.0.5 Upgrade on the WAMP version of the site shows the gantry library as the only thing that gets updated between 4.0.4 and 4.0.5.
I have since downloaded gantry_joomla_framework-4.0.5.zip to try a full manual install, but could you tell me:
a/ what directories need to be made writeable for the zip install to work, and/or
b/ if it's just a library file, how could i upgrade just that instead of overwriting gantry completely?
