Our site is running a very old version (1.6) of FUDForum, and we want to upgrade to the newest software without losing our data (users/posts/etc.) What would be the correct way to go about this?

I haven't tested it, but this should work:

Step 1: Download and run the FUDforum 1.0.X -> 1.2.8 Conversion Script

Step 2: Download and run the FUDforum 1.2.8 -> 2.0.2 Conversion Script

Step 3: Download the latest version and upgrade.

Best of luck!

I downloaded the 1.0 -> 1.2.8 upgrade script, but when i run it i get this error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gpc_fmt() (previously declared in update-v1.2.8.php:12) in update-v1.2.8.php on line 2239

I tried commenting out the first declaration of that function but then it complains about another function and so on.

This sounds like a php problem... Is this caused by a php setup issue? PHP version (5.0.3)? Have you seen this before? Any ideas?

I figured out the problem. The code has data after the actual upgrade section (first 600ish lines). At then end of the upgrade part there is a call to exit() which pre php 5 would have stopped it from looking at the declarations below. But now it does so it was seeing the same functions declared below. This is easily fixed by cutting out that bottom part, putting it in a separate file and changing one line of the code to read in that new file for the data instead of the same file as the upgrade code.

Ok... new issue. We use pgsql not mysql for our FUDForum database. This is supported both in the old (1.6) version and the new 2.7.7 version.

But... The 1.2.8->2.0.2 upgrade script.... only has mysql in it... and no mention of pgsql anywhere in the script. Why is this?
