Topic: OLD TO NEW QUESTION

Hello. I have an old punbb database that I would like to set back up on new server.

Wondering if someone could simply give me some advice & suggestions on loading the old database up into a fresh install of punbb (1.2.17) --

Can I load up 1.2.17 and get it running and then easily populate it with an old database? If so, how?

If not, what suggestions to handle this scenario?

THANKS SO Much!

I actually don't know the answer to this. I took the forum offline approx 6mos ago. So not too long ago.

Does this help at all?

Re: OLD TO NEW QUESTION

Six months ago, if you were up to date, then you would be running 1.2.15 or even 1.2.16.

You could do this:
Upload a fresh install of 1.2.17,
populate the database with your data,
edit config.php accordingly,
then run 12_to_127_update.php from your forum's root
