vb.org Archive - View Single Post - A little help upgrading to VB3 from a hacked VB2?

lasto · #4 04-18-2004, 07:34 PM

u can upgrade to vb3 from a running vb2 board - but most of the hacks wont work though
just run upgrade2.php

here is how i did mine

first of all i made a new sql databse - i then took the databse from my v2 board
then i uploaded gold to my server and ran upgrade2.php (NOT INSTALL.PHP) and i made sure the config file pointed to the same databse as i had just upped the v2 databse 2 (just incase mistakes happened i never wanted to touch the main board)

anyway after going though endless prompts (about 46 in all) then loads more lke 1/9 etc it worked fine - every post - user etc was in vb3.
Also dont count on your styles working cause none of mine did.
