Best way to get current from 3.0.12?

Post by RigNalScIn »

Have an embedded U10 install that was P2Vd (HyperV) & upgraded to U14. Finally moving to an updated (U18) host.

Not looking for in-depth assistance, just tips about any possible gotchas.

I'm assuming move existing install to new host and do in-place upgrades until current?

If you have a large board, my way would be do it (not really necessary) in steps (>>> 3.0.14 >>> 3.1.12 >>> 3.2.3) and on localhost (and keep intermediate backups). Database size smaller than 1.5 GB shouldn't be a problem online.


edit: corrected 3.0.12 to 3.1.12 (this was noticed by stevemaury)

Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

I assume warmweer means (>>> 3.0.12 >>> 3.1.14 >>> 3.2.3)

Actually I meant

3.0.12 >>> 3.0.14 >>> 3.1.12 >>> 3.2.3

I strongly advise against going through 3.1.14 because that version is not supported at all by phpBB.com ;)
(sorry stevemaury, I just couldn't resist this one :P )
