Quick Overview: Back in early 2008 I attempted to move my forum data to new free hosting. I was running 2.7.7 in production and in preparation for that I got 2.7.7 installed at new, I ran the backup of production site ok, however everytime I tried to import my forum data it would time out and ultimately corrupt the entire forum with an HTTP 500 error meaning a reinstall of forum from ground up was necessary. I posted about it a couple of times but then gave up.
I was hoping as newer versions of the forum came out the import issue would go away.
FF to today: our forum is now down and I am trying to get it onto current platform of 3.0.2.
Frank you answered my question in the 3.02 announcement area but I am not sure I like the answer you gave as I am thinking I am going to be stuck again with the above error by having to work with 2.7.7.
Quote:You need to download 2.7.7, import your backup, upgrade to 3.0.0, and then upgrade to 3.0.2.
Key points:
- you need to restore to the version you've backed-up.
- FUDforum 2.x releases must first be upgraded to 3.0.0 before it can be upgraded to the latest release.
Curious as to why V3.x would not be able to import from ver 2.x forums? Will any of the revisional versions of 2.X work that are higher than 2.7.7 import the data, or am I stuck trying to troubleshoot this again in 2.7.7?
Because of the 3rd party hosting I have minimal access and control over the db environment, so probably can't even see log files on the db server which could make troubleshooting tough.
Suggestions??
