Title: Moving servers
Post by: Another Rob on April 06, 2010, 11:35:36 AM
We have 1.1.11 running on one server and need to move it to a 2.0 on another server. Any suggestions?

As capaddy almost completely said what I did, for some reason, I've removed mine, to prevent echoes.  O:)

make a backup of 1.1.11,

install 1.1.11 on the new server
then upgrade the forum on the new server to SMF 2
