Hey guys,

The upgrade almost went off perfect, but I think in the db_update.php phase, something screwed up.

I have a lot of old posts that were long, but have now been truncated to only the first 2 or 3 lines.

I have backups, so I can try this again, but can someone help me out with what might be going wrong?

I don't need ANYTHING on Domain2.com.

I need PunBB 1.3 on Domain1.com with all of the content that's currently on my install of PunBB 1.2.

No, not quite.

Domain2.com is just a test domain because I'm so technically unsophisticated that I fear installing a 2nd copy of Punbb on the same domain (lest I make a mistake and it destroys the first copy).  So I'm just using it to get a feel of PunBB 1.3.

My goal is to have everything still on the original Domain1.com, but have all the old content and users and passwords now using PunBB 1.3.

Hi,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm been searching and I couldn't find any answers to the issues I've facing during this upgrade.  I'm not incredibly tech minded when it comes to web stuff, so I'll try to be as clear as possible.

I have a PunBB forum version 1.2.16 (Domain1.com).  I've installed version 1.3.4, but on a different domain (Domain2.com/punbb), so at least I know that it works.

1. How do I backup what I already have?
2. How do I install the new software where the old software was? (upgrade)
3. How do I reinstall everything back that I previously had? (migrate)

I'm on Dreamhost btw and I have about 700 users and 15,000 posts, so I really need to make sure I don't screw this up.

Any help is much appreciated.

Are there any instructions on how to upgrade from 1.2.13 to 1.2.14?  I'm not extremely tech savvy, which is part of the reason I used punbb.  It was just so damn easy to install and the next thing I knew, I had a forum and members.

I'm trying to upgrade from version 1.2.13 to 1.2.14 on my forum.  However, when I click "Check for Upgrade" in the forum administration, it states "Unable to check for upgrade since 'allow_url_fopen' is disabled on this system."  How can I enable 'allow_url_fopen' and is there anything I need to know to upgrade to the latest version?  Thanks.
