I download and setup the latest version of xoops locally on my pc. If i understand correct you suggest me to copy the files from my parent site in my new local xoops? Had to make a backup file first right and download it local? current DB you mean the db of my site or of my local new xoops? I use the WAMPServer as you sad but i have queries and i am only at the beggining of your first replay:) |

Also, copy the current DB to a new one, that you would be using on the test site. You can do it on your current server, but it's easier to use something like WAMPServer on your local PC. * Once you have it there, then make sure that all your links in mainfile.php are updated correctly and pointing to the new test site. * Follow the instructions for full Update and copy the XOOPS 2.5.4 files as instructed (before you do it, make sure that you delete the /module/system directory) * copy and run /upgrade (as explained in the instructions) and in the Admin update the system module (this should be the last step in your Upgrade script above) Now the fun part begins  Several of the modules might not work, because you'll be on PHP 5. Of the modules that I am aware of, you'll need to update several of them: Forum 3.05 => at least 3.08, but we'll have soon 4.10, so you might wait 3-4 weeks. Files 1.20 (I don't know it) protector 3.04 ==> this will be updated with the XOOPS Update articls 1.03 (don't know it) communication 1.27 (don't know it) F.A.Q 1.08 ==> 1.23 coming soon relative links 0.97 (don't know it) Tips and Tricks 1.00 (don't know it) Shoutbox 4.05 (I think, it should run) Polls 1.30 ==> it should work, but 1.33 coming soon Sitemap 1.30 ==> it should work News 1.56 ==> at least 1.66, but 1.67 coming soon XOOPS Info 2.14 (you probably don't need it anymore) Captcha Module 0.11 (don't know it - what do you use it for?) SmartObject Framework 0.90 AVAMAN 0.21 (should work) Site Statistics 0.45 (don't know it) d3pipes 0.56 ALTSYS 0.55 ==> at least 0.71, but I think, there is a newer one from Japan Photos 2.84(don't know it) message manage 2.63 (don't know it) My tabs 2.10 (should work) Important things: 1) make sure that you read the info about Protector, and the proper position of "Trust path" 2) If you have problems with blank screens, deactivate modules in your database using phpMyAdmin (except the System module), and then add them one by one to identify those causing the problem. Some of the modules above might be outdated, and their functionality might be found in some other newer modules, so you actually might get rid of them. Hopefully some other people provide info about modules that I don't know. |
