-boRg-,

Did you change a couple of stored procedures from v7.5 beta 1 to v7.5 final?

I had to update 2 (that i know of) stored procedures for the forum to run.

I'm moving to a new server and going to upgrade to 7.5 of the forums.  We are going to get a backup copy of the database from our old web host which contains our forum's data as well as other data from other parts of the site.

Which method would you suggest?

  1. Use backup from previous web host to restore database (tables & stored procedures) to the new server.
  2. Copy version 7.01 forum asp code to new server via ftp.
  3. Install 7.5 asp code.
  4. Change stored procedures in database to new 7.5 version.

or how about this?

  1. Install 7.5 on new server (clean install).
  2. Import data in 7.01 tables into 7.5 database.

What do you think?

Also, is there anything I need to be aware of when moving the forums to a new server.  I know that we will need to take the forums down for maintanence before we do, but other than that is there anything else I need to know about?

I'm sure other folks are wondering as well.

Is it possible to skip the security check the login has? (number check). I don't find it necesarry + I think old login scripts (7.01) aren't working because of that.

wistex which ever way you want will work I imagine I just altered the old database.

Badaboem you can change a boolean value in teh common.asp file to turn off the login security check but as many people seem to have been hacked recently by password tools through the login page I would leave it in place.

Could be a corruption, try reuploadingeverything again.

Also try logging in directly to the admin section by pointing your browser at the default.asp page in the admin directory.
