I have tried to follow these instructions in order to move a forum to a new computer but am having a problems.
I have done the following:
Copied the contents of the files and messages directories to the new computer. I changed the owner and group to apache.
I have dumped the forum mysql data with no problem. I noticed that the file used the prefix fud_ for the table names so I changed them to fud26_. I also noticed it pointed to a forumdata directory rather than FUDform in the new version. I then decided to change the database name in this file to forumdata3 so it would not corrupt the new empty installation. I thought it might allow me to switch between the old and new by just changing the name in the GLOBALS.php file.
I then tried that and it gives me an error in line 58 of the index.php file.
What have I done wrong? Is the problem that the old version 2.3.2 is just too old to allow this simple transfer?
