Topic: Running 1.2 & 1.3 side by side

I have an old ver. of 1.2.x installed, and wondering if anyone knows of any issues installing 1.3 on the same server.

Old ver would be myserver.com/forum
New ver I would install into myserver.com/forum2

If so, after doing this, would copying my database data from the old v. to the new v. migrate without problems (assuming I change the various config vars in the config options?

I upgraded from 1.2.x to 1.2.x without any problems.

Do backup your db and files before the upgrade though!

If it was not clear in my post, I means running both forums simultaneously (at the same time) smile

I understand both databases would need to have non-conflicting table names.

Can't you just create a new database for the 1.3.x install?
