404 - not found when I try to run the upgrade.php

that is why we have http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading which upgrading will take you from 1.1 to 2.0 without any issues.

Yeah indeed when I first wrote reply #17 I linked that but thought again and edited it linking to that other page instead. This is for many reasons: first that it can be done either ways, second that doing such an upgrade is not so much different from a brand new installation since moving from 1.1 to 2.0.x wipes any mods and themes... And third... A brand new installation with a backed up and imported database *could* have avoided errors like the one above.

Back up everything and then wipe everything but the .htaccess and the db, then install smf 2.0.8? Importing the database after that shouldn't be really hard, it should be easy, actually just my 2 cents

you cant import the database from 1.1 into 2.0, you HAVE to run the upgrade.php script which is part of the upgrade package.

Still, I have never ever seen this in the documentation... It will be me who missed it but I've never seen it. Could be useful since an administrator might have had an abandoned 1.1 and then decided to move to 2.0.x, wipes out all the data and he would be asked to reinstall 1.1, import the db, run the large upgrade, run that script to patch, upgrade to 2.0.x... That's not really awesome :/

that is why the upgrade page on the wiki tells you exactly what to do to upgrade from one version to another...

Yeah but I still think that warning users about it would be useful, if you consider that I didn't know it myself after a considerable amount of time here... I honestly don't think that a new user will know already :/ anyway sorry I don't want to go off-topic it was just to tell you since you are the Doc Coordinator it was just my opinion, I appreciate the explanation a lot though

Up for this, not to miss it
