You need to start a new topic and include the actual error message, not just the IE generic page can not be displayed.

Will the MsSQL database run directly under MySQL. I´m planning an upgrade here, and I might as well skip the MsSQL and go for MySQL insted. But I cant see anything which need to be converted etc.

mySQL is very different to SQL Server.
There are tools available on the mySQL site for database conversion, but you would need to upgrade to the version 8 database first.

Regards to the arcade mentioned
it uses the existing database structure and inserts new values.
i have almost changed the arcade to work with V8, i just need to do the arcade edit games page and a few bugs.
to upgrade the arcade the best way or way you can do it is to just change the names of the table prefixs of the V7 to the V8 prefix and add 2 fields to the author table and 1 to the Common.asp file.
as i said all you have to do is copy the tables over

Please Note:-
If you have modified your version 7.x database yourself you may need to un-modify the database inorder for this update to work. |

It all depends if the arcade mod uses table column names the same as those in the new database. |
I assume that it will only be a problem if we added a column with the same name as a column you are adding, correct? Will it leave our columns alone as long as they don't have the same name as yours?

Another question: Will this tool upgrade from any version 7.x or is there a minimum version number (i.e. 7.5x)? Based on the name, I assume it supports everything from 7.0x to 7.9x. Am I correct? Or would I need to do multiple upgrades like we've had to do in the past?

It will work on all version 7.x databases as the tables and columns remained the same for all version 7.x databases.
