1.1.7 --> 2.0b4 Conversion?

(1/2) > >>

KahneFan:
Is there one available? I would like to convert a 1.1.7 board I have to 2.0b4, is there a conversion available yet, or not until 2.0 is stable? If there is, a link would be great. If not, should I just build a 2.0b4 board and wait until it is available? I just don't want to build a 2.0b4 board and then for some reason a mod I install isn't compatible. I'd rather convert, then install mods. Any help is appreciated.

TE:
you can use the large upgrade package from our downloads page
Upgrade SMF

ccbtimewiz:
It's stable enough, but it isn't recommended to be used on a production website.

Likewise, to convert your SMF install you'd follow the similar guidelines that are given in the Online Manual.

Refer to:
Upgrade SMF

KahneFan:
Is there a projected date for a production version? With that said, I see many people using the 2.0b4 version, so I'm guessing it may be OK to use as is?

Also, with the upgrade, I will be moving my forum to a sub-folder for the upgrade so that I can use my root directory for a web front. Is there a way for me to install 2.0 into a sub-folder and the transfer members/posts/info, or should I just make a ghost version in the sub-folder; upgrade the ghost; test the ghost and then use it as the main version when it's ready?

no release date yet.  2.0 is Beta and has still a lot of bugs (which may be solved in the future). so an upgreade means you must live with these bugs for a while..
Moving the forum to a different (sub-)folder is easy with repair_settings.php
What is repair_settings.php?
