[Forum] Is it possible

[stephen1976]

Hi is it possible to use a new domain to install a new bulletin board up, and then transfer all the post and attachment from the old board to the new one.

I want to install the latest version 4.1.4 and then transfers all the post etc from a 4.0.4 board.

If it is possible can someone tell me how to do it please

Thanks

No. copy everything to the new site and make sure everything is right then run the upgrade. Or upgrade and then copy. Please make sure you have a good backup first!

I downloading my databas 1GB using php my admin was then going to use that on new board, wont that work?

No. The tables are different in 4.1.4 VS 4.0.4.

Sorry just to be sure do i install the backup database first, then install the same version of vb.
