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

Actually, you can import directly from 6.5.5 to 7.5.5.

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.

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?

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

Hmm, did all of the directories get uploaded? If you'd like, go ahead and open up a support ticket with your site URL and the FTP info and we can take a look at what's going on.

One thing I did notice is your PHP include path:
(include_path='/usr/local/php/includes:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/share/pear')
It's not including the current directory. Normally that would look like this:
(include_path='.:/usr/local/php/includes:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/share/pear')

Basically now you need to do the import. You'll download the threads_import.zip file from the members area. Unzip and place that inside your importers directory. Bring up the importers/threads_import.php script in your browser, fill in the info and it should import all of your data.
