I have installed a fresh full SMF 2.0.9 on the new server

Is it possibly to move All 1.1.19 over?

Arantor

No. The database structure has changed so much that there is no upgrade path beyond upgrading an installation in place. So move it then upgrade it.

Wait, when was 2.0.9 released?

I don't see a new topic created for that nor an upgrade link. The download link says 2.0.8 :0

Vhat!

Arantor

2.0.9 has not been released yet, it is running on this site for testing purposes and will be released very soon.

What about upgrade to 2.0.8. Is that easier ?

Arantor

Considering that 2.0.9 isn't out yet and even when it is, has an identical database layout... it's exactly the same.

You cannot move from 1.1.x to 2.0 without upgrading it in place because that's the only way the upgrader knows how to convert 41 tables into 63 tables, changing every table in the process.

If i do the 1.1.19 to 2.0.8 update

What should i do with my mods and theme? .

Justyne

Well, what mods have you got and which theme?

There might be appropriate versions - if not that needs adjusted by hand.

You will need to find new mods and themes.

Without knowing what mods and themes you have, it's impossible to say how much work would be involved.

INB4 Arantor. I feel I should get an achievement for that.
