CPG 1.6 (PHP7) Upgrade/Install Aid
ron4mac:
For currently running CPG 1.5.20+ installations, an assistive script to use for upgrading to a release version of CPG 1.6 was made available here.
Attached to this post is a script that can be used to upgrade a CPG 1.5.20+ installation that has suddenly stopped working because of PHP changes (for example) at your site. Place the script file (as cpg_installer_stub.php) in the root of your CPG installation. Access the script as <your_coppermine_url>/cpg_installer_stub.php. Choose to upgrade your current installation.
Be very aware: you could be using a plugin or theme that is not compatible with CPG 1.6
This same script can also be used to create a new installation of CPG 1.6 (or update an existing one with the latest changes). Make sure you have a database user and password already configured on your server. Load the script to an appropriate place on your server (where you want the installation to be). Access the script from a web browser and perform the installation.
Update: v3.3 better notification of file placement errors
Update: v3.4 added robustness for more restricted systems
Update: v3.5 option to show all available CPG 1.6.x versions

Hello,
I kind of missed that post and did a normal upgrade by downloading the 1.6.03 github source, then overwriting the 1.5 cpg and starting the update.php. Should I be concerned or look for something not quite right? At first glance the script seems to download the latest github files as well.

You're good either way. The script was just to make it easier for some people.

Tried to do "fix" by using "cpg_installer_stub.php" and all i got was a error:
Releases of CPG not found at Github
What do I do now?

It would seem that your server is not configured in a way that will allow the method to work for you.
Your options are:
Get your hosting provider to backoff PHP7 long enough for you use the "upgrader.php" method. (other thread)
Get your hosting provider to turn on "allow_url_fopen" for your currently running PHP7. Then use the "cpg_installer_stub.php" method.
Use "manual" method to perform the upgrade. http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upgrading.htm
