Title: Help please (1.0.6 to latest)
Post by: kbarg on August 21, 2018, 11:12:30 PM
I found an old SMF database backup from 1.0.6, how do I manually upgrade it to the latest 2.0 release (I do not have the files for the install just the database)

What I would do is downgrade php to 5.5.
Install SMF 1.1.21

Upload the database .
Then point your SMF 1.1 install settings.php to that database.
Next install SMF 2.0.13 upgrade
Then upgrade your SMF forum.
Next upgrade to SMF to SMF 2.0.15
Then upgrade PHP to 7.1
7.2 is not officially suppoted yet for 2.0.x

5.6 or 7.0 is better

Do I need to upgrade "MY" database to 1.1.21? or use repair_settings.php before I proceed installing 2.0.13?

Last question are you on SMF 1.0.X? or 1.1.x for your database.
If 1.0.x you need the large upgrade package from SMF 1.1.21 then upgrade to SMF 1.1.x then do the other steps i mentioned in post one.
