Can I go straight to the latest version or do I have to step up for each version?

Thanks in advance!

6.5.5 to 7.0.2 (use the threads import script for that one)

then upgrade from 7.0.2 to current, i believe

the in between steps are automatic as part of the upgrade..

so it's 2 'major' steps to get to 7.5.5 basically..

all automated smile

Actually, you can import directly from 6.5.5 to 7.5.5. wink

would you recommend that instead ?

for some reason the 2 step approach was more 'popular', but i could be wrong..

Our process is to go straight from 6.5.5 to the latest release whenever we do upgrades.

so far the 1 step hasn't worked....i've tried it 3 times and it has always failed. (fortunately i'm running on a test machine and keep restoring and trying again)....

maybe i'll try the two step and see if it works better...

Actually now that I think about it, the importer won't actually even work with 7.0.2, since it's been modified to insert into the new group permission tables, which don't exist in the older versions.

When it's failing, is it resulting in an error of some sorts?

Going to 7.0.2 do i unzip and copy everything over into the ubbthreads directory?

when i unzipped it, it went into ubbthreads-7-0-2 and when i tried to run the upgrade.php I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: upgrade_header() in /home/web/public_html/owners.only/ubbthreads-7-0-2/install/upgrade.php on line 78

so i was wondering if i was just supposed to copy everything INTO the original forum then run the upgrade...

thanks for any info...

Well, like I said, you really HAVE to go to 7.5.5. The import script won't work with 7.0.2.

What you should do is grab 7.5.5 and install it into a new directory, something other than your 6.5.5 directory. Then bring up the importers/threads_import.php, fill in the info it asks for and then let us know if you get any specific errors.

okay...i unzipped 7.5.5 into a new directory (/ubbthreads-7-5-5)

ran the install utility, it found my databases and was "creating the tables" (url: http://xxx.../ubbthreads-7-5-5/install/createtable.php)

then i got this:

Warning: main(libs/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/web/public_html/owners.only/ubbthreads-7-5-5/install/createtable.php on line 37

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'libs/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='/usr/local/php/includes:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/web/public_html/owners.only/ubbthreads-7-5-5/install/createtable.php on line 37
