vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Re-Installing Forum

SNATCH3R · #1 04-28-2009, 09:11 AM

I am currently having 3.7.4 with around 3000 users and an active forum. At the same time I also have lots of mods and hacks installed from my initial version of 3.6.8, and upgraded till this version.

I had recently downloaded 3.8.2 version, and thinking of doing a fresh installation of my forum with this new version and installing only the required mods and hacks. I can take the backup of the MySQL database from my site control panel.

What is the best possible way to install the forum as fresh in the same domain and then export my database to the new installation.

The users should not find any difficulty in accessing their threads or posts after I bring bring the database to the new version.

Can I have the same database name also in my new VBulletin installation ? If everything works fine, I will be deleting my old installation of vb forum.

Expert advise is required on this. Hope to get reply on this.

Thanks
