Post subject: From PhpBB2 To PhpBBxs

Hello, I tried to install the latest version of PhpBBxs but I have a problem with the import of thh phpBB2's database. How can I have my oldest database on my new phpBB? (excuse me for my english).
Thank you
Massimo

You can get that if you follow the update from phpBB2 instructions but it will only work if you ran install/update_to_xs.php (or whatever it's called) instead of install.php

But I must overwrite the phpBB2 folder?Because I tried to install in a new folder named phpBBxs but I can only install (no update

)

Here's a snipet from the upgrade file in the install folder of XS.

Quote:
If you're already using phpBB 2.0.18 or lower, you can easily upgrade your board by following these instructions:

Make a full backup of all files and database (if you don't do a backup, don't dare to ask for support! )
Did you backup everything? If you didn't make the backup, please, step back to the previous point.
Copy your current config.php and keep it in a safe place.
Check again that your backup is ok and keep it in a safe place.
Login as administrator.
Upload and launch install/update_to_xs2.php (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/forum/install/update_to_xs2.php).

Upload all phpBB XS 2 files in the same folder where phpBB is installed and running (all files but config.php). Pay attention that all older files must be replaced by new ones.

Apply all permissions listed in Fresh Installation.

Delete or rename install folder.

Use your New Forum .

Try installing Icy Phoenix RC using the update procedure I have written.
